Every time that I listen to it, I find myself baffled that two of DIADL's best songs aren't on the standard edition of the album.

Anyone with me on that?

I am really sceptical of all of these bonus track versions and alleged limited editions, that don't seem to be so limited.
It's all just a marketing and trying to milk fans for as much as they can.

BTW, Chris Collins, yes the Chris Collins will be sharing the stage with Portnoy again.

Well, Max....and not at the same time.

Chris Collins's band Winterspell will be opening for Fates Warning in Worchester, MA.  Next to None is opening several dates for Fates Warning including that one.

No word on if NTN will play Your Majesty with Chris guesting on vocals.

I have no problems with albums being called 'deluxe editions' or whatever, but calling something, 'limited edition' is a contradiction when that version of the album is readily available all the time.

Overall I really enjoyed the show last night in Denver.  I would have loved to have heard Still Remains and I didn't need to hear Another Perfect Day, but the rest of the material was excellent.  Great to see so many awesome songs.  I saw them on the APSOG tour and the tour where they opened for QR/DT.  I would say this was better than both of those.

I was really impressed with Bobby Jarzombek and MIke Abdow.  While Bobby has a different style than Mark Zonder, he played those drum parts flawlessly.  And Mike covered Frank Aresti's guitar solos perfectly.

Ray Adler can't hit the high notes he used to do on some of the first few albums he was on, but thankfully a) they didn't downtune the songs for it and b) he didn't make failed attempts to hit them and make me cringe.  He just sang some different notes that were in the key of the song and I thought that sounded just fine. 

Also it was great hanging out with Jackie before the show talking prog.

Yes, I had a great time! They put on an awesome show, even if I didn't know all of the songs. The APSOG stuff was such a pleasure to hear.
Also I am sick as fuck today, so I'm glad I had fun last night.
Oh Jackie, always jumping to the most homoerotic possibility.

I wonder if Frank is on this?  I hope so.

I guess you're right.  He only was not touring with them, never officially left them I'm pretty sure.

He also no longer lives on the East Coast.  Not that that in and of itself means he is not on the new album, but just throwing it out there for what it's worth.

I honestly couldn't tell you the first thing about it. I think I played it a few times after its release. I should fix that.

It was pretty tough to get into, but worth it.  Not the best FW album, but a solid release.

According to the press release, he's not involved this time:

While it sucks that Frank's not on this album, I'm not really all that surprised. The real shock for me is that Jim didn't ask Mike Abdow to contribute any solos on the album, since he's already been touring with the band for the past two or three years. I suspect that he'll probably still be part of the touring lineup for this album though.

In any case, I'm still looking forward to Theories of Flight. Especially if it continues the trend Matheos has been on in the past few years with the Arch/Matheos album and DiaDL.

It was my first thought too that he possibly wouldn't be part of the album.  No surprise really.

I don't think this will affect the quality of the songs and arrangements, which have been responsability of Jim for a long time now. I guess it will be an album with less guitar solos, what I miss most from APSoG to FWX, although they are all great albums IMO.

I'm also surprised that Mike Abdow didn't get the nod to contribute a little bit to this album.  He deserves it, in my opinion.  He's been a great replacement for Frank and is a hell of a nice guy.  As a diehard fan, I don't really look at Adbow as a replacement anymore.  I've gotten to meet him at a couple times now and he's really likeable.  I love the way he plays some of the older FW material.  He's a pro.
