One of my favorite things from that:
"Note: If you are a 2nd Violinist, please do not use a 1st Violin. Use the 2nd Violin you were issued."

It just caught me funny

1. Add meat
2. Play Steam of Consciousness
3. Add salt and pepper

Pretty accurate.

Yeah, it's time to undust the CSI filter, boys.

ok I ran it through the filter half a dozen times. Here is what I came up with:

Would NOT be surprised if some Asian band actually learned and performed that.

The more I look at this, the more wrong things I see about it and realize that, yes, it was a joke, no, it can't be played, no, it is unplayable and if it were played it would sound like a string quartet mutilating their respective instruments. Sexually.

The lack of updates from DT actually gives me comfort that the band is working in the studio.

Uh oh... with the lack of updates and studio photos, are we going to descend into a discussion about beauty tips now?

That sheet music thing looks more like one of the experimental 1960s works by Krzysztof Penderecki.

JR crazy edited photos in free image editing iOS apps.

That's what we get.

rumborak · « **Reply #1270 on:** April 11, 2015, 11:59:18 AM »

Apparently JR will be in Germany all next week. I'm assuming all recording is over at this point.

the_silent_man · « **Reply #1271 on:** April 11, 2015, 01:10:45 PM »

Is it just me or are they being particularly quiet about this album? Anyone remember how long into DT12's production that we got any sort of insight into the album direction/progress??

rumborak · « **Reply #1272 on:** April 11, 2015, 01:57:50 PM »

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this silence is the most pronounced they've ever done for an album. I don't think JR's sudden love for editing photos is random coincidence either.

SystematicThought · « **Reply #1273 on:** April 11, 2015, 02:22:48 PM »

It feels more secretive then the making of ADTOE where I think by a month into making the record, we had pictures of everyone except MM. I remember a picture of Myung where we found out they were recording at Cove City by comparing it to a picture taken during the ToT sessions

Wasn't SFAM kept on the DL during the making of? Maybe they're pulling the same stint?

I'm more excited than usual cuz I'm not sitting here thinking about it every day like I would be if I saw daily updates. I love going into things as fresh as possible, especially movies.

Why does JR upload this random shit ?

To me it's like he has this reputation of being a technology buff so he has to use

every app going. But he uses them like a 10 yr old girl would.

rumborak · « **Reply #1286 on:** April 12, 2015, 08:18:25 AM »

Somewhat related to your post, Kotow, but I find just about every new instrument he's showcased in the last 5 years sounds the same. He posted a video the other day with a "Linnstrument" but frankly I can't tell the difference to the Continuum, or the Seaboard, or whatever.

It depends on what he's running it through. If he's running it through his lead sound, they're going to sound the same, but they're different ways of creating expression on his end. There are plenty of videos of JR using different sounds on the Seaboard though, so it doesn't sound anything like the others.

Jaq · « **Reply #1288 on:** April 12, 2015, 09:37:32 AM »

Reading the posts about the amount of information we're getting from DT about the recording of this album makes me realize how spoiled we are, as a whole, by bands today with social media.

I mean, back in the day, we were lucky if we got this in a magazine, a few months after the band actually started recording because that's how print media deadlines used to work: "Band A is the studio with Producer X recording the follow up to album Y. They expect it to be out by the end of the year." And sometimes, that was it. You tended to not get big things like the title until just before release, and you rarely if ever got track listings. Hell it wasn't uncommon for a band or act to put out a press release with an album title and then change the title before the news cycle of the day could catch up with it. (Ozzy Obsourne's The Ultimate Sin was touted as being called Killer of Giants in magazine articles, and most people found out about the last minute change in title when they bought the album.)

I guess that's why when bands don't put out in studio photos and videos and we don't know the track listings months out, I just pay it little mind. It's how bands used to do things.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #1289 on:** April 12, 2015, 09:43:00 AM »

So, so true Jaq. Remember the same stock photos and the same stock quotes they used every article?

The quietness from the band, plus the fact that they said they had the idea for the next album on the last tour, makes me think they have decided to do another concept album or something very, very different.

That's what I'm leaning towards, too, Kev. I'm still thinking a double CD, though that's just wishful thinking. Either way, I can't wait!!!

I would say it's a fair statement. I think it's quite likely that a concept album is currently brewing in the Dream Theater cauldron.

Single album, though.
