Dream Theater entered the studio in February v. No News is Good News

[RaiseTheKnife]

interesting that he reiterates the comparison of the listening to entire album and a movie going experience.   I've only listened to DT10 - D12 from front to back once each on the release days.  (I believe DT10 was the first time the 75 minute continuous listening experience of an album was suggested by the band).

[?]

So the album will come out in September and according to Jordan they're still writing it? Given that MM will be on tour with UK in 3 weeks, they'll probably start recording pretty

At least now we know what JP meant when he said they had "started planting seeds" for the next album a year ago - it's cool that they've developed ideas so far ahead of the recording! I wouldn't be surprised if this turned out to be a concept album, but I'm not going all OMG over it.

JR's got a problem with image editing apps.

"Hi, my name is Jordan and I'm an image-editoholic."

Dude, it's April 1st. There is no release date yet.

From JR's fb account:

"Today's pic from the studio:"



Did JP cut his hair, or is just the edited photo that is playing tricks? 

My first thought was that it was an older picture back when he had short hair.

Progressive rock titans Dream Theater are currently hard at work on album number 13, which is due in September

The story is legit, because there actually is an article on DT in the latest issue of Guitar World: https://www.guitarworld.com/april-2015-guitar-world-joe-satriani-tosin-abasi-and-guthrie-govan-plus-zakk-wylde-exodus-and-more

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE

[emtee]

Excellent news that they have been working on ideas for a long time.

Still keeping fingers crossed for Kevin Shirley. I know the sound will be good if he is on board.

[bosk1]

I wonder if he's putting effects on the pictures so we can't ninja search any fine details that may or may not be written on pieces of paper  The laptop looks really cool in that most recent picture. It's like a portal to another dimension. I don't really mind all the effects, really. They look cool and stuff.

Well, I did mention to him and JP that someone here had taken a still of the frame from the video where part of FAS was showing on Jordan's tablet and programmed it to midi last album cycle, so...

[King Postwhore]

Just flaunting it in our face aren't you your lordship.

[Dream Team]

It would be cool if Roth-era Van Halen was in the inspiration corner (which may no longer exist, R.I.P. since MP's departure).

What specifically about the Roth era? The aggressive and angry guitar tone on Fair Warning was what came to my mind

Sure, but also the attitude and catchy songwriting.

[took_the_time11]

I'm super excited! I hope the album isn't as compressed as the last album. I think the new album will rawkkkk 

[Zydar]

"Big day in the studio. The excitement is growing. Here is a pic from today."

[SystematicThought]

I like how the music is blurred out

[Kotowboy]

" uh - uh - uh ! You didn't say the magic word ! uh - uh - uh ! "   

[Sycsa]

I like how the music is blurred out

Couple it with that cynical JR expression, the whole scene becomes hilarious. He's like "Ha, try to decipher the music this time. Sucka!"

[Prog Snob]

There must be some kind of unblur feature that Blob can figure out.   

[wasteland]

Yeah, it's time to undust the CSI filter, boys.

[Zydar]

So it's pretty much confirmed there will be keyboards on the album.

[Prog Snob]

And they will be played by Jordan Rudess. 

[SuperTaco]

"Big day in the studio. The excitement is growing. Here is a pic from today."

Why did that JR face remind me of UkaUka from Crash Bandicoot? o.o I think there's something wrong with me.

Also loltrolled cause the notes are blurred.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too    I love it!

HAHAHA, if there's something wrong with you, it's contagious, because I thought the same thing!!!

[Another_Won]

I like the white 30th Anniversary logo.  I just noticed that this one doesn't have the "eyes" at the bottom of the zero, like the one on Facebook.

edit - or they're just harder to see?

[JayOctavarium]

I wanna see Jordan troll us by posting something with music NOT blurred out... but upon translation we find it to be like I'm A Little Teapot.


fuck yea

[King Postwhore]

So it's pretty much confirmed there will be keyboards on the album.

Surely there is keyboards on this album.



And don't call me Shirley.

[BlobVanDam]

I was thinking more Wizard of Oz

[Sacul]

Guests? 

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Maybe I'm wrong, but I would just interpret "guests" as their openers/support acts.

[rumborak]

Hugh Syme makes concert posters too now?

[King Postwhore]

are you over analyzing a bit.   Of course is means an opening band.  It;s always meant that.

You're a bad boy.
