I decided to put together a timeline of the development of 'Distance Over Time'. I know there already is a thread about the new album; this is more like a summary, in case it's useful to anyone else.
I went through every website and social media of the band and its members, so as to determine the key dates. Below, you'll find the list of them, each one followed by a link to at least one official post which confirms the date; I added extra links when posts were not duplicates of one another.
Some of the many posts by the band (and its members) on social media throughout 2018 have included snippets of the new album’s content. As per a few fellow members' suggestion, I've included a list of links to all of those updates.
Anyways:

Excellent idea! looking forward to look back when all it's said and done to crucial updates to this thread, such as album title, tracklist and cover revealed, and the announced release date :metal
-
Great idea! Love it!
:metal DT14 :metal
How about when the location was revealed? Seems like this time around the location which led into the writing/recording style is a significant factor.
Was this the first announcement on the location?: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bjzz_KCnHRY/?hl=en&taken-by=dtimages

Good idea and thanks for doing it.

yes, although Petruccinator's FB video post was longer and it's this one here: https://www.facebook.com/johnpetrucciFB/videos/1974052929313376/

Maybe you could add other (less) relevant things, like videos with snippets with the links to them?

Yeah, it should be fun to go back once we all know the album and realize we've heard a snippet of Track 4 Which Is Everyone's Favorite alreaady in mid August (or something along those lines), and update the thread as such.
-
Great thread! :metal
Seriously cannot wait to know more about this album. 2019 can't come soon enough!

Good idea, thanks for starting this thread.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! :smiley:

Kind of. Like Max said, the clip is a shortened version of one from JP's Facebook profile. Plus, JP shared the video on June 8th - every other version available (such as the one you asked about) is from the 9th.
But you bring an interesting point, and I agree. Originally, I intended for the list to be strictly about the work on the music. Now that you mention it, it might be important to have it listed. On it! ;)
Maybe you could add other (less) relevant things, like videos with snippets with the links to them?
OK; I'll be adding those later today, at the bottom of the post. That way, people who don't want to listen to spoilers are safe. ;)
If it's fine with you guys, I'll only add to the list those posts where we can listen to (or read) new music, and those which give new information about the album's content. There have been a ton of updates from the studio (specially by Jordan), but many of them do not include any key elements - they are mostly pictures of hamburguers. :P
Seeing that every new update by the band is immediately posted on the other thread anyway, I guess it's unnecessary to share them here too. That said: of course, feel free to bring them up here as well! Just in case I miss it while lurking. :P
-

Agreed. June 8th what we should go with. I didn't realize there were other versions of that video
-
Me either, not until I looked a bit more closely anyway.
-
It only took them one month to write the album? Seems really fast, but I'm not considering their level of awesomeness. I'm sure they came up with riffs and other ideas while on the last tour. However, it doesn't seem like it took a lot of time. Didn't they write Train of Thought in a short time period? I guess when ideas flow and inspiration is there, things come quickly.
Great thread!
-
They've written MOST of their albums in under a month, I&W and FII being two exceptions for reasons that are fairly unique to those albums.
-
And The Astonishing, which was underway for the better part of a year in various phases.
-
Did the writing actually last that long though? I don't remember.
-
Did the writing actually last that long though? I don't remember.
According to JP and Jordan on their Eddie Trunk interview in January 2016 (https://youtu.be/Mr0sr1kF9qU):
- JP came up with the first (musical and story-wise) ideas in the UK in mid 2013, during the promotion cycle of the self-titled album.
- He then brought up the story to Jordan in October 2014, towards the end of the "Along for the ride" tour; it was then that the collaborative music writing began.
- Work on the music and lyrics apparently extended for 6 months, before they went to play festivals in Europe in June 2015. (I'm thinking that those 6 months JP mentioned included both writing and recording.)
So, yeah: what noxon said.
-
By the way: I've added a link to the June 8th video posted by JP. (Thanks Another_Won for the suggestion. ;))
Furthermore, I've included a list of links to those social media posts which feature snippets. (Thanks Pax and MirrorMask for the idea. ;))
-
Added date (and proof) of end of keyboard recording.
-
So with all of the five members' major parts recorded, what's left? Overdubs and final instrumental additions, then mixing and mastering, right?
I haven't kept up with the DT14 news circle lately, but has there been a targeted release window? I'm going to guess early 2019, between January and February. Looking back at the details of The Astonishing's recording process, it looks like they finished in late September, and spent the next 3 months mixing and mastering, with a late January release, so I predict the same thing here.
I'll guess a January 25th, 2019 release date. I'll come back here in 2-3 months to see if I'm right. :lol
-Marc.
-
No dates mentioned as of now. James has to finish the vocal parts and then it's on to mixing and mastering (which btw won't take 3 months as it did during The Astonishing album cycle according to Petruccinator during the Q and A, he actually said that they don't want to spend so much time mixing this time around as a distinct difference from TA), but we actually are close to the finish line concerning the recording process.

All you said is pretty accurate :tup They’ve said the release sould be around late Jan./early Feb. About the recordings, apparently all the instruments are done, and James should finish recording vocals soon. My bet is we’ll get a single around november. Really excited for this album!
-
https://www.facebook.com/dreamtheater/videos/2180716415334005/ this one deserves to be added as one of the snippets (calling Sebastiŕn)

Good news to hear/read! I'm sure James will be done his vocals by month's end, which gives them a month or two for mixing/mastering, so a single around November would be good. I suspect album details will drop by the beginning of November, with a single announcement by the middle of that month.
I haven't been deep into DT since before The Astonishing, so it's been quite some time since I've been excited for a new Dream Theater release, so I hope the hype and build-up to this album rejuvenates my love for this band! The snippets posted above sound promising so far, but I will try not to get my hopes up TOO much. If it's as good as ADTOE and DT12, then I'll be happy.
-Marc.

And if it's better than ADTOE and DT12 then it's on another level and their best ever (IMHO)

WOW! Some tasty shit going down!
-
The snippet at 0:38 is my favorite so far. It reminds me of BAI, and that's wonderful :hefdaddy
-
Yeah I'm already imagining James singing a line with long notes and all that. (epic and all)
-
That organ snippet gave me a watery mouth.
-
The little thing I heard yesterday reminds me of a mix of Octavarium, a little six degress and a continuation from DT12, just hoping that Richard Chycki does not mix the album. if the sound to Mangini destroyed I almost give up!, ref hihat and machine.!!1

I don't think the band has stated who is mixing the record yet, but if I remember right, someone mentioned in another thread that Chycki is busy with other stuff right now. So hopefully that means he won't be involved. TA wasn't bad, but as a whole, I'm not a fan of his work with DT.
-
Yes that was actually me. It's safe to assume that the mix will be handled by James Meslin as well (or Jimmy T as the band refer to him) for all we know now. He worked with them on the Xanadu cover. (and I liked that) Chycki had never been mentioned by Petruccinator or anyone else, both in the writing process and afterwards)

I wouldn't assume that. DT has often had different people engineer vs. mix a record. This Jimmy guy might mix it, he might not.
-
You're right of course.
-
The most recent snippet video (september 6th), there's one part that REALLY stood out to me as sounding really awesome and fresh was at 0:38

Well, according to Mike Mangini:
Xanadu was a 2nd pass, 1-Take with a few punch-ins recorded/finalized and pass off by Jimmy T. at a soundcheck during the I.A.W. & More Tour ... with used heads to boot... it was post-engineered and mixed by Chycki.
Taken from: https://www.facebook.com/MikeMangini/posts/1553391441376275?__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARAsxI4hHWtr-4hDGi4zTmxKuW6OqURmau5YE-ERiuGKLZrNAnviHR70oVs1tfT598u5TrF1IBOZLEP9hiIPBUWHtocs-NmRl3QyNtMONeuGY2SardjgDRz96c2fDla1OnvRUrDtfc2I__SzK4GUpdrIUJPUlCF9KYT4DNncs4TsAu8vokNS5g&__tn__=-R
So, while Jimmy T certainly tracked it, it was Chycki who mixed the Xanadu cover as well.
-
I stand corrected.
-
Back on topic (sorry about my thread derailment): This is a Facebook post by James from today: "Vocals are going down killer on the new album.
Speak soon and keep it cranked." (so he apparently isn't finished yet but it's advancing pretty well), see here: https://www.facebook.com/officialjameslabrie/posts/2215701908472020?__xts__

Another update: https://www.facebook.com/johnpetrucciFB/photos/a.133462500039104/2136043363114331/?type=3&theater (it's photo shoot time right now apparently)
https://www.instagram.com/p/BnmSk5ZnKj3/?taken-by=jcrudess (for Jordan as well)
-
So today's the photoshoot and James should (hopefully) finish recording very soon. Hype is real!

Seems like we are close to the revelation ...
I bet some people are starting to speculate about DT14's tour setlist.
BTW. I expect the release date to be January 2019. The recording process was quicker than I expected..

Thanks! I just added it to the timeline. (Although I used his Instagram's link - apparently that's where his pictures comes from.)
-
As we all know, albums typically need three months of promotion. So, if they are going to have it out in January, we should start seeing something promoting it in the next 30 days. If not, safe to assume it'll be February or later. My guess is, given how polarizing The Astonishing was, the marketing will be a bit more this time around in an attempt to get people on board early. Guess we'll find out!

I think they are already kind of promoting it with the posts and the snippets on social media. TA's music was kept secret until TGOM came out, and the concept was partially announced with the "Rebel or Empire" subscription on their website.. With all the updates of DT14 they have given us since June they created a hype like It was a sort of "mini-promotion" considering that most of DT fans wanted a more Classic DT album after TA

One of the hashtags is #2019, so, I think it pretty much ends the discussion about the album being released this year. Only a really strong demand by the band or the label to change that, and I guess that won't happen.
So let it come!! Can't wait to hear this album :metal

James finished vocals, see here: https://www.facebook.com/officialjameslabrie/posts/2236106726431538?__xts__[0]=68.ARCQN-FGaZy7Xw2qgbqosRIxIz8JI1eKfrMgxke7rX00FOICAwcvdYw0Ag1g9qCqATFhTsC53Rv8mEnlnQfmk2JAFSutztjf4YKSVT6hSLVrMTsHv9EArLZwAGDMkBLkje2zNjQNKmc_mZ4UgJw5ZEcP_L2Zq1WfkjKkdxURm15USm1IodpcXA&__tn__=-R (strangely enough, Petruccinator's finish post was on Sept. 14th)
-
(strangely enough, Petruccinator's finish post was on Sept. 14th)
Yeah, it's a little bit confusing. It might be that James recorded (or, at least, finished recording) his vocals somewhere else, and John announced the last day of the studio being used for 'instruments' recording. Once he was done with his overdubs/solos, that was it.
That's how I interpreted it, anyway.
Thanks for the heads up! I just updated the first post.
-
This wins post of the year, much appreciated! I love the updates on the 1st page, saves trouble looking through the entire thread..obviously :) but thank you!

Audio clips sound promising enough and I truly hope the album will be in the spirit of the first four albums.

No problem! While lurking (and then researching) the forum for years, I noticed someone does this sort of thing everytime a new album is produced. I figured I'd contribute this time around. :)

Tomorrow is the 14th. One week after the DOT "Sneak peak" was publicly posted.
So... it there going to be a single released? Or a lyric video?
Surely there will be a track released before Thanksgiving, right?
Why not now, one week after the teaser??
-
...or the setlist at least

In my opinion it's too early for the new single 😑 I think it will be released in December
-
I guess we’ll have a single this month, maybe at the end of it, though.
-

I don't think you're going to set a setlist until March 20, 2019.
-
Maybe it is too early for the tour setlist, but maybe we could have the tracklist of D/T soon. :metal

My bad, I definitely meant tracklist

In any case: Farewell, Seb. Nice to meet you :'(
Thanks! But looks like I'm still allowed to be here. :)
Bosk: has JP (or someone from management) ever sent you a similar message where you became worried? Maybe on an April Fool's?
-
No. But I once accidentally banned myself from the forum and had to email ariich to let me back in.

My words ring true.
My message clear.
How can he hear through all the posts and instagram?
I've seen a sign.
That he can change.

:lol DT should change the lyrics for this..

And Noxon confirmed it, so it’s official. 9 songs and a bonus track.

For those who don't mind spoilers, I can also confirm that this is the fourth DT album in a row where Portnoy will not be contributing lyrics.

Who's Pornoy? :biggrin:
Lemme guess - it's also the 11th DT album without lyrics from KevMo, right? :lol

now all I hope for at this point (seriously) is that Viper King will be on the CD too. If not I'd be very well peeved to put it mildly. Very short though still unfortunately.
-
unfortunately.
I agree. I've been seeing a lot of people say that the short length means it'll be "no filler", but to me it just means fewer minutes of new music.
That said, I&W is my 2nd favorite album, so if I can appreciate that, then I'll surely appreciate this one

Unfortunately, if you look at the time stamps, vinyl is 61 minutes long, CD is 57. So, it seems we have a song less.

Better short than lackluster moments on the album though.

Yes, but shorter doesn't necessarily mean better.
-
I agree with the both of you

We'll hear the result eventually. I'm just happy that they did it this way, this time around.
Just because an audio CD can take 75+ minutes of music, doesn't mean you have to fill it.
-
My favourite DT album is 57 minutes long, 8 tracks. So, good times.
-
Since Out of Reach is a ballad, and everything we know about Pale Blue Dot suggests it'll be an epic closer (LTL or BAI style, not the 20+ minute epics), should we expect themes from Out of Reach to show up in Pale Blue Dot?
Edit: I always forget BAI is not a closer, but it has always been agreed that BAI is the true finale while BTS is the end credits.

But that's probably going to be the "standard" CD version. I imagine there's going to be another version with the bonus track in it. If not, it's definitely going to be available as a digital download, so I wouldn't worry too much about it (unless you only listen to music in CD form).

CD or high resolution download only in my case yes

Since they are with InsideOut now: IO always gives you a CD with the LPs. I also hope that track will be on that CD.
I don't see the sense of not including it.

The same here. Anyways, I always buy at least Deluxe edition. Hopefully there will be one and the bonus track will be on it.

For those who don't mind spoilers, I can also confirm that this is the fourth DT album in a row where Portnoy will not be contributing lyrics.
It'll also be only the 11th studio release without any Kevin Moore penned lyrics.

Always agreed by whom? I never agreed to that.

So this must be our tidbit for the week to chew on...
Have to wait until next Monday ??? ??? for the next thing...which would be??.... :-\
Obviously I am having a hard time waiting. :chill

A single should be out in the next couple weeks. The hype is real! :metal

Neither did I. Beneath the Surface is the closer/true finale/whatever you want to call it.
-
I don't know, but I too always saw BAI as the finale and BTS something like the credits roll
-
Yeah, I think JP himself said something along those lines (maybe this is were that idea came from in the first place, and even lead some to thinking that we all agree to that)..
Anyhow, they would certainly would do something they don't do since BAI if there's a 10 minutes song in the album...
-
That organ snippet gave me a watery mouth.
Stay away from my organ. :p :rollin
What's better than roses on your piano?

Yes, I remember JP saying something like BAI being "the last big statement of the album".

I believe in another interview JLB stated "The Viper King" is the continuing saga of "The Pumpkin King". Can't wait to hear how it ties in.

Maybe it's a sequel to The Cockroach King and also ties into Vector somehow. :biggrin:
