Dream Theater: The Astonishing (now with moment of betrayal!)

[Enigmachine]

maybe the faythe stop to listen when garbriel sing! faythe leading the songbird from GNE. gabriel help to people that dont undrestand the true music. faythe listen to gabriel voice and joining to RRM. but she slayed from the GNE soldiers.whats ur idea?

But what about char8? How does the clock guy fit into this?

I'm not so sure what you mean by 'she slayed from the GNE soldiers', but Faythe being the 'songbird' sounds like some interesting symbolism and makes TGoM forshadow even more of the story than I thought.

DT12 is the exact opposite of what TA appears to be.
DT12 isn't a bad album, it's good, but I think the issue that many people have with it is that it's too simple, and they expected much more from Mike Mangini's second album, at least that was the case with me.

TA appears to be one huge complete work where everyone simply exceeded their own limits, so I can safely say that people who disliked DT12 will like TA, even though I have not heard anything but TGOM (Noxon can elaborate on this?)
Many people who disliked DT12 are hardcore SFAM fans.

I'm not so sure that will be borne out when the album drops.  I think you are reaching for correlations that will not necessarily be there.

Well, this is the DTF after all, right?

Faythe is just wearing those white Apple earphones. Since the story takes place in 2285 AD this means that Apple will still be the most popular IT company ever.

Oh, dammit

P.S.: I know it doesn`t have to be Apple necessarily, but they are the most distributed of white earphones, so this led to my conclusion.

Sometimes, you read a post, and you just have to stand up and applaud because of how spot-on accurate they are.  Other times, there are posts like that one.

Interesting emphasis on the music player and headphones. Guessing based on that, it definitely has to do with the story line in a substantial way.

A technical question to the royalists among you: if there's a crown prince, can there be a crown princess at the same time?

Yes. Afaik, every brother/sister or daughter/son is prince/princess

Yes. Afaik, every brother/sister or daughter/son is prince/princess

But the crown prince is the next in line to become king, afaik, and there can only be one.

"A crown prince or crown princess is the heir apparent to the throne in a royal or imperial monarchy. The wife of a crown prince is also titled crown princess."

Wow, maybe Faythe is married to Daryus?

I think you are correct, with the exception of a married couple.  For instance, if the crown prince is married, his wife would be the crown princess, so you would have a crown prince by blood and a crown princess by marriage. 

EDIT:  Looks like what was posted while I was typing this agrees.

It seems that Faythe was married by force to Daryus and she actually loves Gabriel. Lel.

Faythe is Victoria
Daryus is Julian

Nice to know the iPod mini will make it's return in the future.

[SuperTaco]

No 3.5mm plug? No Problem! In the future, our headphones are permanently attached! You want to use a different pair? What a hassle! Just one listen from our very tiny and very proprietary in-ear headphones will surely convince you. You totally don't want anything else! Seriously. we'll brainwash you with giant flying machines.


I'm tired.

[Enigmachine]

stop

This. I wish DT would release another track for us to listen to so we have something solid to discuss. Realistically though, we may only get some sort of official preview video only featuring snippets.

Well it is a dystopian future, after all.

I like that DTF is so predictable that it took you just 27 posts to figure us out.

Without Faythe. Without Love. There can be no peace of mind.

Officially one month until release. I cannot stop listening to TGOM, it's just a cracking little song. And the choir in the middle is superb - if theres more like that in the album I will be a happy man!

Super hyped for the album now!

Based on the expected diversity on this album.. do you think we will see JP introducing his use of the 8 strings guitars?

I think we'll see a little bit of every existing instrument in the whole world.

Alright, Faythe has finally been revealed... and she's with the Empire!

SO GOTH

GOYTHE

She's a gothic Princess Bubblegum!
