DT13 Official Post Your Tracklist & Artwork Here V. MetroPLS 111!

"So you wanna know who the drummer is? Well I'm not gonna tell yea. So you can eat my ass and balls..."

[Madman Shepherd]

I wouldn't mind Jordan trying his hand at lyrics as long as he stays away from the mic (and we get two sets of lyrics from James).

We should investigate his lyrics first before saying that.        Personally I prefer JP & JM doing the lyric writing.  JLB can join in as long as we don't get more lyrics like Prophets of War.

I'll gladly take more lyrics like Prophets of War

Roll the Dice - the general theme of the album is taking chances/luck and how different things can be depending on them. Full of cliche's, but oh well 

This album will of course require a bonus disc with a 37-minute extended cover of Iron Maiden's The Angel and the Gambler.

This is my fake DT 12 cover.  Surprised how close I got in some cases

• 9 tracks

• Earth as seen from space

• The word Awakened

• The word Theory.

No reason to guess what was already foreshadowed on the official website when ADTOE was released.
Don't you remember?



It has the unicycle clown on the rope, that was ADTOE.
Right behind that is a planet with some blue light representing DT12.

Which means we'll inevitably get a forest silhouette, the aurora borealis/australis, and a bigger (probably alien) planet on future album covers.
The ultimate easter egg, and I found it!


I'm sure Hugh already bought a few stock images.

Greetings...
Nef


P.S.: No, I'm not serious.

P.P.S.: I'm still sure Hugh already got the images though.

[The Presence of Frenemies]

Not for DT he hasn't, but he does for his own solo albums.

I always thought they were instrumental.

For the most part they are, but the majority of the album Listen has JR on vocals, and he's written at least one or two since with lyrics. He certainly hasn't made a habit of it, but it would be interesting to hear what his wonderfully crazy mind comes up with.

There are two songs on Rhythm of Time with vocals (Beyond Tomorrow and Tear Before The Rain). They have Kip Winger singing, but there are alternate versions with JR singing. Would love to see his voice in DT in a harmonic/backing role, actually--he's a more technically proficient singer than JP, and he has a powerful bass voice that neither James or JP do.

You mean that song isn't ALREADY 37 minutes long?

[425]

You're mistaking the length of the song with the number of times its chorus is repeated.

I couldn't remember how many there were on RoT. I'd like to hear JR's voice in a backing vocal role too, even if he doesn't want to do it live. I like the contrast of the different voices together.

Not to mention how you nailed the DT - Rush connection with All the World's a Stage (a lyrics snippet from Limelight, a song which highly and blatantly inspired The Looking Glass). Wow, spooky!

All the World's a Stage is a Shakespeare line, not just a Limelight lyric

Of course, but since he was talking about his DT12 predictions, that's not relevant here.

I think it'd be pretty interesting to see DT do a more free-form epic without specific sections in it.

That said, this thread is full of win.

THE COUNT OF TUSCANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY


But seriously, The Count of Tuscany is the closest to what you want that I would realistically expect. It doesn't have any numbered sections, even though we divide it into sections in our minds.

[ThatOneGuy2112]

I considered it but I'm sure thee are a few on the forum that don't consider TCOT an epic, and though there aren't numbered sections, there are clear sections in it in my mind whenever I listen to it, and I love TCOT.

I don't expect them to go for a 20+ minute, free-form, sectionless epic at all, but it's certainly an interesting hypothetical to think about.

[Zyzzyva17]

They can write a song called "The God Particle". I just really want to hear LaBrie growl out "THE HIGGS BOSON" in a chorus.

Ayreon's The Theory of Everything already did that to death.


As for my track list:

Dream Theater - The Spinning Wheel

1. From the Ashes - 13:17
2. Take Me to the Edge - 6:54
3. Sounds of Desperation - 8:03
4. Worlds Unknown - 12:22
5. All That Ever Was - 5:49
6. The Spinning Wheel - 28:51 (separate tracks)
   i. Never Out of Mind (7:37)
   ii. Chasing the Stories (6:13)
   iii. When You Lose Your Sight (5:09)

This! I was going to suggest this myself for an epic that feels like one single piece rather than a multi-movement work that is the norm for this form.

Intro, V, B, C, V, B, C, instrumental break, coda. Just that some of the sections are very extended. Pink Floyd do the same with Echoes. It's basically a 3xV/C structure, but the instrumental break in the middle lasts for 14 minutes.

[Evermind]

You know, I was going back home from work by the train, and on some station I remembered this thread and actually took a picture through the (very clean) window. Feel free to speculate on the tracklist, haha.

Trains Deja Vu.

JLB can join in as long as we don't get more lyrics like Prophets of War.

I'll gladly take more lyrics like Prophets of War 

Same here, I mean god forbid we actually ask some of the questions proposed in that song. I actually quite like JLBs lyrics for this reason, they're inquisitive and often introspective. Musical conceptions aside, the message is genuine.
