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

Well rap isn't considered a musical genre so maybe that comparision doesn't really work 

[Dani Helios]

I would agree

I think he means that rap is supposed to be a vocal delivery technique. The musical genre that we refer as rap should be hip-hop. At least that's what I think he means...

Exactly.

Hit the nail on point. I've heard people calling Hip-Hop Rap, but Rap is the style most dominate in Hip-Hop, much like beat-boxing.

On topic: I wouldn't mind some djenty moments.

[BlackInk]

I'm with Ariich, Djent is a style much the same way Rap is a style.

Yes, that's what djent used to be, where it came from, but over the past few years it had really grown into its own genre. So rather than saying "progressive technical groove metal band" you can just say "djent band" and people will know what you mean.

But then again, there are those who only uses small djent influences, like Haken, who I would not at all call a "djent band". And then the bands like TesseracT, who I absolutely would call that, so granted, it's pretty difficult thing to define.

[ariich]

So rather than saying "progressive technical groove metal band" you can just say "djent band" and people will know what you mean.

Unfortunately that doesn't really work though, because in reality lots of people react like Kotow in thinking that you mean a band where every song is like that (and obviously bands like that exist, but again that's the same for any style).

[sneakyblueberry]

The thing with Djent is that it gets old really fast.  Like that video Lucas posted, its awesome for a one off listen, but as soon as you start sampling other bands from the genre you realise how one dimensional it is.

Again, it isn't, because it isn't a genre.

[sneakyblueberry]

Of course it is.  There are enough bands around doing that kind of thing for it to be considered a genre.

People would've been arguing the same thing about 'Heavy Metal' back in the day.  "Its not heavy metal, its ____". 

[Kotowboy]

Shcrew you Guysh ! Itsh not Heavy Metal. It's Progresshive Death FunkCore !!! Jeeeezshe ! I need a Pepto Bishmol !!!

[sneakyblueberry]

... yes.

[Kotowboy]

PEPTO.



BISHMOL

[ariich]

It's no more a genre than palm-mute is a genre.

[Kotowboy]

Oh is that so ?

Well i'll have you know that my band is x_Extreme_Palm_Mute_Death_Core_x

Our slogan is " We are Extreme Palm Mute Death Core. Everyone else is Medio Core " . 

[ariich]

Nice.

[King Postwhore]

I'd love to palm mute you.

[TAC]

This thread sucks.

[Lucien]

This thread sucks.

[The Stray Seed]

Dream Theater has created the actual trend of progressive metal in the first place.
The last thing that I would like to see now is them following the present day prog metal trend.

[Kotowboy]

Like a Nuclear Powered Dyson !


It requires 1.21 Gigawatts !

[sneakyblueberry]

It's no more a genre than palm-mute is a genre.

No waaaaay.  Djent-ing isn't a guitar technique, so that comparison doesn't make sense.  I think it's valid term for the subgenre of Progressive Metal that does all that stupid djenty shit.  It's a term that describes a sound that has morphed into the name of the genre, just like 'heavy metal' as a descriptor for a certain kind of music became the genre of Heavy Metal.  Bands don't want to be associated with Djent because its stupid.  "nah, we're progressive metal' - no you're not you're djent wanking all over the place mate.

Anywhoo, hows that new Dream Theatre album coming along anyway?

[Kotowboy]

Anywhoo, hows that new Dream Theatre album coming along anyway?

I hear it's going to rrrraaaaawwwwwwwwwkkkkkk 

[sneakyblueberry]

I just wish they'd throw their fans a freaking bone so we don't have to argue the merits of Djentism in a thread dedicated to the new DT album. 

[Kotowboy]

tl;dr :


• No New DT album

• No Djent on New DT album, please

• Djent sucks.

[sneakyblueberry]

So basically, 92 pages and all we know is shit we already knew. 

Goddammit. 

[Kotowboy]

Not quite.


92 pages and now we know shit we only allegedly knew before.


Dag Nabbit !

[Lucien]

well we know the sound will be different, and that this album will be pretty different in general

maybe

[Train of Naught]

And according to James the vocals are coming out amazing, so we can go ahead and confirm that.

[pcs90]

There was a Korg demo video from earlier in the year and Jordan had mentioned that he was using a harp sound somewhere on the new album, and played a demo of the patch (not the part on the album though)...that doesn't exactly help a lot but it's something.

[CDrice]

Well I know for a fact that the album got cancelled because while they were in the studio John recorded the fastest guitar solo ever known to mankind. However this created an unbalance in the space-time continuum and John reverted back to his baby form.

The other guys then asked Mike if they could wish him back to his adult form with the help of his genie powers. He said that it would be possible, but since we're talking about John Petrucci he would need to channel Jordan wizard's power to increase his magical abilities to a sufficient level. This plan unfortunately failed as the spell fizzled, draining all of Jordan's power and turning Mike into a tambourine.

James and Jordan then realized that, in the chaos, John Myung swiftly fled with baby John. He only left a note saying: ''...''. They both understood that Myung had brought baby John to his secret ninja training ground to raise him as a ninja for the next few decades. Seeing as the band was basically over at this point, James offered the Jordan a place amongst his pirate crew. They were last seen riding a forklift towards Canada, with James rocking a tambourine in 19/16 over a bar of 7/8.
