Predictions anyone?
Just for fun: What date do you predict DT will give us an official update on the new DT13?
Guess the date of the update and whoever guesses the closest wins. For extra credit see if you can guess the album release date. Or whatever...
-
I think next Friday June 19th will be the day. And they'll release the new album on Sept 28. Yep that'll work!
-
Unlucky 13. The album will be released on Halloween.
...so october 31st...
-
The album will be released on Halloween.
And it will have some cheesy title like Nightmare Cinema Pt.2: The Rudess Vengeance :P
-
:laugh:
Do you guys have a prediction on when they'll update us from the studio on this Haloween release?
-
I'm predicting that at this point, well have an update on JP's solo album first.

I'll take that! Suspended Animation was kewl, I'd love to hear an update on the sequel!
-
You do know that from the front page of the forum, this reads "New Album Update..."
And for that, I hate you, OP.
-
Give how JP said they won't play any new material on this tour, and how awkward it would be to tour with a new single out but not playing it, I suspect the new single won't be released before August 2nd.
So, I think the lack of news will persist for quite some time.

I totally understand the hate. That's hilarious! I had no idea, it must be the way my iPhone displays. I'll switch it around.

It's gonna be a concept album.
-
There's going to be a song that starts off all quite like for a section then BAM wall of sound comes in with the main theme. Then after the intro, there will be a verse with an angry sounding LaBrie that leads into a prechorus. But instead of going to the chorus, they'll go to verse 2 first. Then prechorus again before that theme returns in full volume for the chorus. Then after a few bars of power chord transitions, JR comes in with a ripping solo with his signature patch sound. That will leader into a technically impressive solo by JP who will make it sound effortless. Then after a drumfill, they'll come in for a short unison. That will lead into another prechorus/chorus/repeat/outro thing song over.

I would like to know how are they gonna begin a tour late june and still work on an album. It's not sarcasm, I may be not aware of a certain methodology of theirs....anybody knows how this goes?

I see it as one of two things:
1) They've finished all tracking before the summer festivals and wait to mix/master when JP and the guys are off tour.
2) They finished basic tracks and need to return for solos, overdubs, and vocals (or something similar)
Hell, they could be completely done with it, but since they said no new material on the festival tour, that really makes me think it won't be a September release. Mostly because the last two releases they released a single before the summer festivals and the album came out early fall.

I think it is impossible to say simply because we have no idea where they are in the process.

:lol My response was directed at zecawolf. I mean, yeah, we can speculate about where they are in the process. But no matter where they are, there are always any number of things that can potentially be done while on the road or after returning.
-
Hoping this tour will produce awesome live photos for the album sleeve..um..CD booklet.
And I have no inside information, but I am expecting a double CD. Serious.
-
Sure there are. But I find it somewhat difficult to put an album together this way, I think it's very easy to lose focus. But that's me, Maybe they enjoy the "rest" between sessions.....
-
I think it's pretty safe to say that all the instruments are recorded (since JR went back into the studio weeks ago to "touch up" some stuff). Which means the mixing will definitely be done before they go on tour. The last thing remaining is mastering, and that can easily be done via email.

I definitely believe it's option 1.
So release date would be probably somewhere in November, not before.
In good times for a nice Christmas combo with the DVD/BR taken in the summer tour... Nothing over-produced, just a nice cut from shooting done in one of the most impressive locations they would go... (Definitely the one I' going to- can't beat it) :tup
-
A November release date makes sense to me because:
For a good while up to and including ADTOE, they released in September and were touring by October.
DT12 saw them only start touring in January, almost 4 months after DT12's release.
They probably will release in November, just in time for the holiday season, and start touring in January like last time.

Yo dawg, we heard you like speculation, so we put speculation in your speculation so you can speculate your speculation while your speculation speculates speculation.

Well that's just speculation at this point.

I, for one, don't believe a word of it.
-
2:33 - 3:29 of Track 4 is going to be mind blowing
U HERD IT HERE FIRST FROM ME
-
I predict that there will be a snare drum.
Maybe some bass.
-
I predict we'll get the same thing we've been getting for quite some time.
-
I predict more complaining about the drum sound and overall production quality.
-
They haven't done a 10-track album yet, so I'll predict that. Longest track a "mid-length epic", 14-16 minutes.
-
The band will stick with Hugh Syme for the next artwork, and everbody's gonna bitch about it.
-

Quoting this so I can find it :lol
-
I'm thinking it will be a 3 CD set. You know, one CD for each 10 years? :xbones :metal :metal :metal
-
I predict that it will be more proggy than the last album.
-
Here's hoping.

-
lol
-
I'm still predicting tomorrow they'll throw us an update. Here's hoping anyway.
-
Well my dates are off. Let's see if last nights dream helps. I dreamt that Dream Theaters next album would be a concept album. It was something that had been worked on in 07' and again in 10' or something. That would be cool to find they have some magnum opus they've squirreled away and have been refining over time.
So I'm predicting concept album.

pffft. This is Dream Theater we're talking about....
..30 CD album :metal
1 song on each disc lasting 75 mins.
-
I predict the drums will sound like a drum machine again.
-
Please don't sat that. The drum sound really detracted from my enjoyment of the last album, especially the snare. I even tried to ignore it thinking I was being too picky but I have a hard time doing it.
-
I predict that the upcoming album will be their 13th. Also, it will be by Dream Theater. In addition, it will contain musical notes, and will be X minutes long where X is the length of the music on the CD. You heard it here first!
-

I would like nothing better to be proven wrong, but MM is a really hard hitter who likes super-tight snares. I too suspect the new album will sound similar to DT12 in terms of drums.
That said, if they could just recreate the BTFW drum sound, that would go a long way.
-
Okay... So now their on tour. A bit peeved they didn't release an update when they finished in the studio. Last word was in Feb, so... I predict we'll hear something from the road, guess that's how it's going to be. Here's wishing for better PR coverage!

Who said they finished?
-
Depends on your definition of "finished". Are they done recording? Absolutely. JR said weeks ago that he was going back in for some touch-ups. That's something yiu do at the end of recording, or even after that.
Are they done with mixing? Likely. Mastering might still be in the process, who knows.
-
Yeah, who knows. I missed JP's touch ups comment. I just thought we'd hear something more is all.
-
From the thread for the opening night of the tour:
Before CIAW James said they're gonna play songs from each album on this tour and they did.
Later on he said they're working on the album, which is not 100% finished yet, but will be right after this tour. Planned release date is Jan 2016 and then obviously a world tour (he also promiced to come in Minsk again on that tour, but that's probably what he would say at any show).

HAHAHAHAHA! This comment and response killed me for some reason.
-

You and me both. As much as I like both ADTOE and DT12, both don't sound as good as they should. For a band that has been around as long as DT has, there is no excuse for them releasing records that sound that muddy (ADTOE) or loud (DT12). Thank God for the HD versions. :tup :tup
-
Since the last album was very guitar based in comparison to most other albums, I predict they will continue in that direction. Only this time it will be darker. There will be more raw sounding riffs that will be more hard hitting and to the point, for DT at least ;p.
Im not saying it will be Awake part 2, I don't see them ever doing something that raw or dark again, but it will be more riff-ey like Awake except polished. Labrie won't sing so softly this time. His voice will have more rasp but other than that he won't challenge himself or do anything as impressive as he did on Awake or I&W.
I consider there to be two categories for DT albums: the albums like I&W and the albums like Awake.
Albums like I&W: SFAM, ADToE, Systematic Chaos to name a few
Albums !like Awake: 8vM, FII, Dt12, ToT to name a few....
Yea I know, but its how my mind works....
I predict their next album to fall Into the Awake category. Most songs will be between 4 and 7 minutes, with no songs longer then 9 minutes. There also won't be so much keyboard wankery. JR will p!ay more for mood and atmosphere.
-
I think the next album will be called ''Vocals into Infinity''. They'll write the album as they usually do, but for the recording each member will play their parts with only their voices. That's why the album will be out next year instead of this one. It's because this process takes a bit more time than what they usually do!
...and also because it's a quintuple album with each CDs containing a single 58 minutes songs...
:coolio

I think that SC would be thrilled to be associated with I&W.
-
I don't remember where and when, but I read that ToT is basically IAW gone all metal.
-
JR said it would something a little different. I predict that upon hearing it I will disagree with his assessment.
I would love to be proved wrong.
-
JR said it would something a little different.
Well, well... my prediction about an all vocal album is getting more plausible then. ;D

Ain't that the truth.

Yo dawg, we heard you like speculation, so we put speculation in your speculation so you can speculate your speculation while your speculation speculates speculation.
Can I speculate about all of these things?
-
I predict the new album will do away with all the compression, brickwalling and loudness-warring that has plagued recent albums, and will be a real audiophile quality release. You know, on the CD version, and not the Hi-Res FLAC download version or some other sh1t.
But I expect I will be wrong.
-
I think it would be cool to see Dream Theater experiment into some new territory, like electronic music or even something crazy like big band. I thinking they'd find a way to be innovative and tasteful about it.
But seriously, I'll get the new album no matter what direction they take.
-

I think it's more like Master of Puppets gone full prog.

This was correct, thanks to the NOMAC tracks and Three Days (although it's more swing than Big Band).

This was rectified as well.

It was something that had been worked on in 07' and again in 10' or something. That would be cool to find they have some magnum opus they've squirreled away and have been refining over time.
So I'm predicting concept album.
Was kind of true, though instead of being worked on for 5-8 years (lolnuggets), it was worked on for 2.5.
I predict that it will be more proggy than the last album.
This was true from a certain point of view. Not as many long songs or as much technicality, but has more varied song structures, diversity, subtle compositional complexity and recurring themes that are aspects of a very proggy album.
And I have no inside information, but I am expecting a double CD. Serious.
True.
There were some surprisingly accurate predictions here.

If he had said "Track 5" it would have been fairly accurate.

Well, Begin Again is track 4 of the second disc... however mindblowing is not the term I'd use to describe the the part from 2:33 - 3:29. So it's an epic fail anyway :lol
