Falling Into Infinity
"where's kevin?"

i couldnt think of anything funny for the rest so i stopped there.

[Pragmaticcircus]

Falling Into Infinity - Nothing is Sacred

That's off WDADU? 

[Evai]

Falling Into Infinity - Nothing is Sacred

That's off WDADU? 

It's from You Not Me

[wolfking]

First thing that came to mind;

Train of Thought - The Crooked Step   

[Pragmaticcircus]

Falling Into Infinity - Nothing is Sacred

That's off WDADU? 

It's from You Not Me

"Cause nothing is sacred
You're reading my mind
And leaving me naked
You draw the bottom line with a dollar sign"

[Pragmaticcircus]

[bill1971]

I imagine the reactions however, "OMG DT turn satanic" 

Yep, it'd be all over Blabbermouth in no time heh

Man while thinking about Black Clouds lyrics for this, I got an urge to listen to the album, especially when I haven't been listening to anything DT since The Astonishing came out but The Astonishing. So many great moments on Black Clouds, I skipped Best of Times but the rest of it is a lot of fun.
I remember how much fun we had here making fun of Tuscany's lyrics when the album was new
One thing I don't miss is MP's vocals, damn they were annoying at times!

Yes, agreed. He seemed to sing more and more each album. His background harmonies on Home were great but I think it got to be too much with the last few albums.

Interesting thread.

[Robo4900]

Falling into infinity - Welcome To The Wasteland
Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence - Turn To The Light
Train of Thought - A Living Reflection
Octavarium - Razor's Edge
Systematic Chaos - Tunnel Vision
Black Clouds and Silver Linings - The World's What You Create
A Dramatic Turn of Events - Bridges In The Sky
Dream Theater - The Enemy Inside

The lesson here: I should never be allowed to name an album.

[SystematicThought]

Train of Thought = Shit On Me

Where does this lyric appear?

[Evai]

How can you ever sleep a wink at night
Pretending that everything is alright
And have the balls to blame this shit on me

[Pragmaticcircus]

1 A Shadow Of Limits
2 Liquid Shadows
3 Thought Disorder
4 Holding On To You
5 Victoria
6 Stale Sweat And Shit
7 Black Holes
8 Surface Bleeding
9 Children Of Hell
10 A Cannibal Curator
11 Obsession At All Cost
12 I Sever Myself
13 Shepherd Of Ravenskill


Lol, they all sound like song names 

[SystematicThought]

Shepherd of Ravenskill would have been an interesting alternative title for The Astonishing

[MirrorMask]

Bumpetee bump to play also with Distance Over Time.

What would you be your alternate title for the album if you had to pick a line from the lyrics?

As predictable as it could be, my choice goes for Hidden by Design.

[Zydar]

Heroes, Kings And Saints
Death By Numbers
Turn Towards The Sun

[The Curious Orange]

Hmmm...

FII - Nothing but Ashes
6DOIT - The Smell of Stale Sweat and Shit (I quite like "Illusive Mind" for this one)
8VM - Don't Let The Day Go By (Score should have been called Full Circle IMO)
TOT - The Crooked Step
SC - The God of a Rotting Creation
BC&SL - Helplessly Drifting in Beautiful Agony
ADTOE - Journey to Escape My Mind
DT12 - Stories of Resentment and Disdain (always felt this was the right title for this one)
TA - Remember Bug
d/t - God Creators (fits in well with the artwork too)


Yeah, kind of makes me appreciate the actual titles for these.

[commanderbob]

Here's my out of context version that made me laugh:

Falling Into Infinity - Throat The Size Of A Boulder
Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence - Beaten To A Pulp
Train of Thought - Touch The Way I Play
Octavarium - Your Ghosts For Me Rest
Systematic Chaos - To Rid Her Of Her
Black Clouds & Silver Linings - Goodbye To The Glowing
A Dramatic Turn of Events - A Demon You Crave
Dream Theater - Cry With Head
Distance Over Time - Limit My Viper

[Fritzinger]

Bumpetee bump to play also with Distance Over Time.

What would you be your alternate title for the album if you had to pick a line from the lyrics?

As predictable as it could be, my choice goes for Hidden by Design.

My very first thought was Hidden By Design. I even think that would have been the cooler title.

[rab7]

Here's some potential D/T album titles based on lyrics from each of the songs:

"Nightmares and Wasted Days"

"On the Losing End"

"Dreams of Yesterday"

"Only a Shadow Remains"

"The Other Side" or "The Key to Heaven" or "Never-ending"

"The World Keeps Turning" or "Time to Transcend" OR "Positive Reaction"

"Never Ending Tide"

"Stronger Than Yesterday"

"Heroes, Kings, and Saints" or "Knowledge Seekers and Bold Explorers"  or "Through the Cosmic Dark"

"My Ass End"

[pg1067]

Maybe this was already pointed out, but "Octavarium" appears in the lyrics, so that album wouldn't need to be renamed.

As for the others (and other than what the OP wrote):

FII:  Constant Deja Vu (New Millennium) or Brick by Brick (YNM) or Midnight Hysteria (Peruvian Skies) or Hidden by Disguise (ToT).  Humorous:  An Ape on My Back (BMS).

SC:  Hell and Misery or Veil of Madness (ITPOE1) or Lost Illusions (Constant Motion) or The Beckoning Light (TDEN).  Humorous:  A Sickening Monstrous Sight (TDEN).

BC&SL:  Beautiful Agony (ANTR) or The End Is Near (TCOT).  Humorous:  Such a Mess (ANTR) or Making Me Uptight (TCOT).

ADTOE:  Mounting the Attack (OTBOA) or Chaos and Unrest (Outcry) or Ghosts of Yesterday (LNF) or A Test of Faith (BAI).

DT12:  A Cut That Bleeds (TEI) or A Stranger in the Crowd (TLG) or Along for the Ride.

Zing!

1992 - Images and Words
1994 - Awake
1997 - The Pressure
1999 - Strange Deja-Vu
2002 - Fatal Descent

I've gone very metal with a few of them! I had Train of Thought as "Black Holes" until I saw that someone else had called it "The Crooked Step," and actually that's a way better title.

[TAC]

2007 - Drawn to the Beckoning Light

Love that!

[porcacultor]

(...)

"My Ass End"

amazing!

[pg1067]

2007 - Drawn to the Beckoning Light

Love that!

It is a good one.  Too bad it wouldn't have made that album any better.

[TheSilentHam]

D/T:  Wow

[porcacultor]

Let's give it a shot. Suppose they got really wordy with the titles like more modern metal bands (not saying SDOIT or BC&SL aren't wordy titles):

FII: Swept Away with the Tide
SFAM: Until We Fade Away
SDOIT: A Place Where We Belong
TOT: This Undying Dream
8VM: Falling Into Darkness
SC: Echo of the Universe
BC&SL: Far Away From Home
ADTOE: A Journey to Renew my Life
DT: Glorifying Madness
TA: Burning Rose
D/T: Death by Numbers

[EPIC Outro]

I heard somewhere, years ago, that Falling Into Infinity was at one point going to be called Stream of Consciousness.

I've always believed that to be true, but is it?

If so, there's your lyrics referencing album title right there.

[MirrorMask]

I believe they freely admitted to that, only to change because it would sound too pretentious.
