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

[Dani Helios]

yeah. would be nice.

[BlobVanDam]

Don't they usually have the single out a while before the video? I seem to recall OTBOA originally just having the album cover behind the video, then the video came out while they were doing festivals.

But my memory is basically useless.

That's how I think it was for The Enemy Inside. I think TEI might even have been released on Soundcloud and then the video came out a while later on YouTube.

[BlobVanDam]

I know for TEI they had a lyric video early on (not sure how far behind the audio single that was), then later they released a proper music video for it. It varies a little bit each time I suppose.

That's it. I think it was the first time we'd seen the album art too ??

[Train of Naught]

I thought they used an alternative art cover, not the original album cover, this one?

[Zydar]

I remember them releasing snippets of the different cover art on Instagram and Facebook.

I think my albums video was shared somewhere, as it's just doubled in views in about 3 hours...

[Dani Helios]

It was shared on "John Petrucci's Beard" FaceBook Page.

[genome]

Haha, crazy. It had 600 views when I got to work this morning and 6 hours later it's on 1575. 

[Zydar]

That's one hell of a boost

[genome]

Be proud, your photoshop is getting exposure!

I sent it to the Meme Theater page but they didn't respond. 

[Dani Helios]

That's a shame. Maybe it isn't a "dank enough meme"

[genome]

I've cracked 2k. Gotta love the internet.

I'll try and make an "all mars volta songs at once..." I want 2000 views too!

[Sacul]

I sent it to the Meme Theater page but they didn't respond. 

They've been pretty inactive for a year or so, since most of the admins set up a new page called "Prog Talk", which is quite awesome tbh. Will share your video there - let's see how many views it can get  .

Go for an album approach. I tried all DT songs at once and it was literally just white noise. With albums you can pick out the odd vocal line or guitar/key melody.

Thinking of making another one. I might try someone less heavy, like Rush or Genesis.

Sacul, you're an admin?

[Sacul]

Yup.

[genome]

Awesome.

4k now. Not bad for a video that took longer to upload than it did to make.

[BlackInk]

I dreamt that I heard DT's new album last night. The music was okay, but at least the production was great. So I was a bit disappointed when I woke up.

[Mladen]

I had a dream that I was attending LaBrie's tracking in the studio, JP and Richard Chycki were also there. I was hanging in front of their studio with some friends, then James suggested he went out and bought some juice and then we can come in to have a listen. It was so weird. 

[Dani Helios]

What did it sound like? 

[Mladen]

I remember getting in, having a seat with a whole lot of people I didn't know (the friends suddenly disappeared), and I honestly don't remember what happened next. A friend of mine called me slightly later and asked why I wasn't in the studio. Dreams can be fucked up.

Shame. I was hoping for some sneak peaks.

I had a dream that the new album would be a two-disc concept album, with no song shorter than 10 minutes, multiple songs longer than 20 mins, featuring Metropolis pt 3, ITPOE pt 3 and (8*8=64)varium

Awesome dream, probably a terrible idea.

[King Postwhore]

My dreams are of naked women.  You're all doing it wrong.

[Lynxo]

My dreams are of naked, hairy DT members. AmIdoinitrite?

No that's the RHCP's dream.

[rumborak]

Speaking of DecaHexavarium, I still can't believe MP would seriously have a song called "Triangulum" with a following band.

[Kotowboy]

Triangulum ?!

But Octavarium is 2.5x better ! !

''Hope everyone's summer has been awesome! Had a great time on DT's Euro festival run and we continue to work real hard on the new album. Couldn't be happier with the way it's coming out! Will have news to share very soon. Got some really cool announcements coming in the next couple of months as well. Lots of things in development. Enjoy the rest of the summer!''

[Voices]

"Very soon" 

[Evermind]

The rest of the summer? Autumn is starting tomorrow.
