DTF.org The Astonishing Survey (aka Rate the Album)

[Implode]

So after reading predictions and discussions about the new album, I've been really fascinated by how different peoples' preferences and opinions are. Of course this has always been the case for me, which is what makes DT and DT fans some of the most interesting things.

So for the release of the new album, I've created this short survey to quantify just what people think! I know it's early, but plenty of people have heard it through promos, and some have even received their legitimate copies already. The survey does take that into account by asking for how many times you've listened as well as knowing when your response was submitted too.

I'd appreciate your guys' thoughts! And as I get more responses, I'll create some slightly more in depth analyses of the data.

Even though we have to give our username, are our results anonymous? (to the rest of the forum, I mean)

[Implode]

Results are indeed anonymous. You don't even have to give your official forum name really. I have it set so you can change your answers, but in case that doesn't work, you can always take it again, message me your name you used in your original submission, and I can delete those responses from the spreadsheet. That's the only reason I stuck that in.

Cool. Since it says it's mandatory, I didn't want to risk you dismissing it because I put in a name like "Poop Dagger".

[Implode]

Usually it's pretty obvious when people are trolling with responses. I won't hold Poopy Dagger against you.

I shall be known as "Excrement Scimitar".

Actually, that could be a song title for Cattle Decapitation.

People have accused my regular opinions of being trolling, so that could also be a concern for me.

Looking at the results I am pleased to see we all love Three Days.

Where are you seeing the results? Was it when you submitted your answers? Did I miss data?!

[Train of Naught]

Words fail to describe how much I love Three Days, I really hope it's not just the hype talking.

Yeah. It's there after you submit.

Ah! Thanks. I didn't think to scroll or read after submitting.

Though I should say, when people view the responses, they can see all the names entered. They can't see which other responses correspond to those names, but everyone can see that robwebster has either come back simply to chime in or someone is having a bit of fun with identity theft.

[Evermind]

I'll take the survey either this weekend if any of the local record stores will have the new DT at reasonable price or if I will be able to catch the official RR stream or something, or some weeks later when my copy arrives from Amazon.

When I saw the name, I dared not get my hopes up it was the real deal. Consider myself pleasantly surprised!

Well, what do you know? Thank you for taking the time to respond! Always a pleasure.

Completed it! But man, picking one favorite song is way too hard!

Eighteen months, practically two years, you've been off gallivanting around in a personal life, depriving us of your wit and wisdom and all we get is two words?  This development is way more upsetting than any potential disappointment I might feel at finally finding out what the fucking NOMACS eyes do. What do they do?! Why aren't we being told?!

welcome back!! sorely missed!

[dvargas]

Done. 

I'm in the meh territory. 

[MacClaus]

I listened to the album (files) a few weeks ago and I got the final set today. Well, not bad.... but light years away from their great level on IAW or Awake.

It's better than Systematic Chaos, Dream Theater and Black Clouds IMO.

Final rating 5/10

[TioJorge]

Whoooooa! ROB BABY. THE LINGUISTIC LOVE MAKER! THE VERNACULAR VALENTINE! THE WHIMSICAL WORDSMITH WAAAH!

Survey taken.

7.

I'm laughing at Portnoy's response.

Age Groups:

41-45   5   10.9%
46-50   5   10.9%

Old guys(i'm assuming male) unite!

[tjanuranus]

Just voted. Great survey!

A New beginning is my favorite so far.

[krands85]

I'll check the survey out, but not until I've had time to digest the album properly. Normally takes me a while to get to grips with new music, especially with something like this!

[RandalGraves]

Very cool reading everyone's responses to the album. Three Days is, indeed, an amazing song.

And not that it matters, but I got a kick out of seeing the highest percentage of fans got into the band in 2003 (when I got into them). Right on!

Can someone post a link to the results page? Once you close the window you can't get to it.
