Can you recommend us some good new music?

If I may, Night Verses is a fantastic instrumental trio act, very cinematic and different feels. MP has even been mentioning their drummer in recent interviews. They are very creative music writers imo.

Incredible band, saw them open for TOOL a few weeks ago. Pretty mighty thing to see an instrumental band perform to a crowd of 40K or so and they were super impressive.

Good new (upcoming) albums,
Paralydium - Universe Calls
Teramaze - Eli
Evergrey - Theories of emptiness
Nightwish - Yesterwynde

Those are a few proggy albums that may hold u off a bit till DT16

[illusionist]

What do you like? Rock, metal, etc?

Just about anything, I'm curious what you consider good music, and I'm sure i will find something worth listening to.

How about that new DT album that's in the works, huh?

Can't wait to hear what James gives us. IDC where he records it, as long as his voice is healthy and he's sounding good!

Welcome to the forums! Going off topic is just natural. We try to stay on topic but it happens every now and then.

[illusionist]

Thank you Jamesman for the recommendations.
I'll hit them up on Spotify.

I used to point out the same things, now I realize to embrace it and join in 😂 it'll surely go more steady on topic once we get more updates.

I have a feeling the next update will just be recording is finished, mix and master starting. Seems they are intentionally backing off on more daily DT16 updates and most news is the 40th tour.

[brakkum]

I'm trying to remember, but it's been so long... Back in the MP forum days, how active was he on the forum during album recording?

I remember him checking in atleast once or twice a week with updates, sometimes small clips. Black clouds he was pretty active with updates. It feels they are being extra tight lipped this album cycle. Maybe it's my imagination? I may very well just be overexcited and it seems like less updates because the anticipation 🤷

Can you recommend us some good new music?

I know 15 studioalbums and 1 EP that doesn't qualify 'new' but surely qualify 'good'. I have so much to listen to in these... besides, there's a novel coming up this fall which also will be time-consuming.

[Puppies_On_Acid]

Just about anything, I'm curious what you consider good music, and I'm sure i will find something worth listening to.

You should join the General Music Discussion side of the forums. Check out some of the past roulettes and perhaps run your own to discover some new music. Plus it's where all the cool kids hang out here.

[DT05]

JLB already said early 2025 was most likely

I'm at peace with this for sure, can't think of a better way to start the second half of the 2020s decade

[Max Kuehnau]

OK bruvs, James finished recording his vocal parts (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1082564023225677&set=a.215199723295449&_rdc=1&_rdr)

[Schurftkut]

quicker than i thought, nice!

[ReaperKK]

quicker than i thought, nice!

I read on the DT discord that he finished so quick because DT16 is largely instrumental aside from a few soft whispers by JLB

LoL! 

[TheHoveringSojourn808]

Maybe there's a few instrumental numbers and he didn't have to sing as much this time.

To be clear, I bet he's still on it a lot, but maybe not as many as usual. By my calculations, he should still be in the studio for another week or so. So either he is not singing as much or he was so good it all came out perfect in one take

[illusionist]

So now that all is left is mixing and mastering.
How long does it usually take for Dream Theater to complete these last stages of an album?
Isn't it the most logical scenario for the album to be ready by late September at worst?
I just read about the differences in mixing and mastering, whereas up until now they seemed to me as the same thing, not being familiar with the sonic perspective of the music.

[Max Kuehnau]

Usually, mixing will take longer than mastering will. (and they definitely aren't the same process at all)

[SeRoX]

I heard different. He just narrates song's names. That's all.

[TheBarstoolWarrior]

Maybe we'll get a single in September.
