Dream Theater self titled album discussion - [SPOILER FREE DISCUSSION ONLY]

[Whatsername]

Wow, I feel so inferior now. xD It's literally just that I haven't had the opportunity to get them yet. I plan to.

[aprilethereal]

hmm. I'm a bit lost now. What is the difference between digipaks and digibooks? I've just assumed they were the same.

Digipaks are these folded things made out of relatively thin cardboard (the limited edition of the new JLB album is a digipak for example):




Digibooks are basically books in the size of a CD, with the booklet being glued (or something like that) in there. Unlike digipaks, they are fairly stable (like a hardcover book):

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Ah, okay. I don't like either one.

[aprilethereal]

You should, cause digibooks kick ass

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Well, for one thing, I like being able to take the booklet out. Also, I'm kind of obsessive about my collection, and I want everything to be uniform. So, if everything I bought was in a digipak, (or digibook) it'd be fine, but as it is they don't really fit with everything else.

Of course, the best solution would be to stop being obsessive, but I'm not gonna do that.

[Dellers]

Digipack CDs don't fit in my shelves, so they're quite disliked. What's even more annoying is that about 50% of the CDs I've bought the last 2 years have been like this (even a few standard editions). I always want extra tracks if there are any, so I do end up buying the digipacks even though the relationship between me and them is like an old marriage at best. I want to have everything in a systematic order, but it's just chaos atm.

I see what you did there.

I thought I was the only person who didn't like digipacks. Glad to know I'm not.

Digibooks are the champions.

Anyone else doing, like me, a full DT album discography run till the new album comes out? I've started today while playing games, but I'll probably continue to do only one or two albums per weekend to get closer to the release date.

Absolutely, I do full catalog runs before any release from my favorite bands. Still a bit early, but probably a week before release. I remember when I used to do it all in one sitting/day.

[Dark Castle]

I don't have the willpower to do that. I'd just get sick of Dream Theater and that wouldn't be good.

Wait, what?..

The new artwork is just a picture from the booklet, or am I missing somthing?

Most likely, still pretty cool

[hipodilski]

Does this mean that they'll release 2 groups of 3 fragments on saturday and sunday and we will get the song as a second single on monday? Kinda doubt it honestly, but a man can dream.

They will release the other groups this weekend, yes, but I don't think the artwork has anything to do with another song being released

[Nefarius]

Maybe song snippets, just like the bits and pieces of the images we get, who knows.

Actually, it makes a lot of sense.
But I would doubt it will happen that early.

But an artwork followed by snnipet every week is a brilliant idea

[bosk1]

There will be more information.  Don't worry.  What it is, I really can't tell you.  But I'll be back next week and then you'll find out, yo!

[aprilethereal]

Yo!

[Nefarius]

Yo is the new soon?

Greetings...

Anyone notice the arm in that picture?

[bosk1]

The arm is still there though

I'll do some shoopin' tonight.

No, don't take it out!  Rick Allen has been looking for that thing for 3 decades!

Looks like Jordan finally stumbled into the right photo shoot.
