Theres the cover for mine.

[Aniland]

Verisimilitude looks gorgeous and exactly like a cover they would have.

6. Surgical Gloves

Sounds epic.

[Implode]

Verisimilitude looks gorgeous and exactly like a cover they would have.

Thanks.  That what I was going for. It'd probably end up being an album on the lighter side.

Change the name to something a little easier to pronounce and I'll gladly take the album cover and the direction you're suggesting.

[orcus116]

While I agree that it's a very well made album cover I can't help but feel that the Hugh Syme style artwork is getting a bit old. It'd be cool to see them get a new graphic artist for next album cover.

Sucking on His Pipe/Distinguished Accent

1. Sucking On His Pipe [57:49]

MP - Flutes
JP - Piccolo/Tin whistle
JR - Tin whistle/Bagpipes
JM - Kazoo/Shakuhachi
JLB - Random vocalisations and recorder

An improvised jam where the band ditch the rock instruments in favour of pipes, with James LaBrie butting in with random passages spoken in a distinguished accent.

 

For some reason this made me think of Thick as a Brick

Needs moar didgeridoo

I love Hugh Syme. He fits DT so well. Likewise, if they experimented with another artist, it could be cool. I know they worked with him in the past, but what if they got Storm Thorgerson again? His work on A Change of Seasons was great and it's one that I consider to be iconic of theirs. That would be cool.

Other artists that might be cool...what about the guy who made The Rainmaker for The Flower Kings? I don't know his name (does anybody?)

[Nic35]

I hope they stick with Syme, but don't stick with the 'We need things that represent each song on the cover' thing. I'd like to see something in the vein of Octavarium.

[Aniland]

bump

[BRGM]

DT've allways had the coolest CD vovers of all bands, really like BC&SL, Octavarium and ToT...Awake is pretty cool aswell

[metal_freak]

i love this kind of thread:)!!

here's my idea..

Dream Theater
"Concept Of Solitude"

1. The Concept (Overture) Instrumental - 3:21
2. Fallen Dreams - 10:45
3. Truth - 9:51
4. Autumn Skies - 11:11
5. Wicked Mind - 8:41
6. New Dawn (Interlude I/Orchestral) Instrumental - 5:00
7. The Meaning Of Life - 15:13
8. Undiscovered - 7:30
9. Yesterday - 5:14
10. Concept Of Solitude - 21:39

Description of the album:

The first two minutes of the overture will have an epic piano improvisation by Jordan, then followed by the orchestration and choirs, then after the guitar/drum/bass will join.

that's all i could think of haha but don't worries i will post more tomorrow:P...

[DarkEternalNight]

1. Wisdom Of Knowledge (Very epic feel, imagine Overture mixed with TCOT)
2. Look To The Light (Very high singing, similar to Under A Glass Moon music wise)
3. Subconciousness (A Portnoy song, 7 string guitar and double bass)
4. You Hold The Key (Ballad, much like Disappear)
5. Darker Days (Heavy at times but slow during the choruses, think Endless Sacrifice mixed with AROP)
6. Imminent Fate (A very Proggy yet extremely heavy song with a lot keyboard, great instrumental section)
7. Consequences Of Reality (A long, experimental song with a emotional solo along the lines of Another Day)
8. The Journey Home (Long epic, similar to Finally Free)

Seems like a realistic tracklisting.

I wholeheartedly agree with this.

  That would be the best and most epic album DT have ever done!

[orcus116]

I laughed so fucking hard when I saw that. The lens flare off the button press absolutely kills me.

[Aniland]

That is absolutely wonderful. XD

Dream Theater - Moniker Typo


The title 'Moniker Typo' is an anagram of Mike Portnoy

A concept album about the things we love.

1. Charging Infinity (0:58)
2. Second Millennium (6:52)
3. The Wedding Blues (5:00)
4. Mr. Suburb (1:15)
5. Belfry, Long Island (10:11)
6. Indefinite Mark (3:50)
7. Streets of Chaplain (6:00)
8. Mighty Depth Charge (9:25)
9. Incurvatus in se (7:01)
10. Down and Out (3:22)
11. Stairway Sideways (8:55)
12. Infinity Charged (12:02)

1. Charging Infinity (0:58) (an introduction to the concept of the album)
2. Second Millennium (6:52) (a very proggy, almost disjointed to the untamed ear, Zappaesque song; heavy where it needs to be, by Petrucci)
3. The Wedding Blues (5:00) (a ballad of sorts, sad but optimistic, by LaBrie)
4. Mr. Suburb (1:15) (a lead-in instrumental to the next song)
5. Belfry, Long Island (10:11) (a song written by Myung and Petrucci about days of innocence; mixes both soft and heavy, but it's all light)
6. Indefinite Mark (3:50) (Rudess's first written song; both LaBrie and Rudess sing on this one; about his love for what he does)
7. Streets of Chaplain (6:00) (LaBrie's sentimental sadness)
8. Mighty Depth Charge (9:25) (Petrucci; this will be a story song a la Systematic Chaos, only more tame and within the album's concept. Focusing on compromise to attain what we want)
9. Incurvatus in se (7:01) (Myung; a song about how it is okay to live for one's self)
10. Down and Out (3:22) (A Rudess piano piece, very light and emotive, leading into the next track)
11. Stairway Sideways (8:55) (NO DRUMS OR PERCUSSION AT ALL; a reference to the phrase 'The Crooked Step'; this is the tribute to Mike)
12. Infinity Charged (12:02) (a sort of reprise of the whole album, with climactic restatings of the theme.)

[Nic35]

Man, that covert art is just plain awesome. I'm really digging it.

Please, no more epics.

[Aniland]

There's got to be epics, but I hope that the next album isn't focused on only epics (like how BC had 4 epics and 2 singles? No more of that, please. XD)

I don't like saving the epics for the end too. Have one in the middle, one at the end, etc.

Glad you like the cover art.

[lord-ruler]

I have always wanted a christmas album from DT.  Perhaps a version of the best song from "The Messiah" by Handel. W/choir  A D.T version of Vivaldi would Rip as well.     An Awesome concept album would be Dostoyesky's "Crime and Punishment"

[orcus116]

There's got to be epics

No. See A Change Of Seasons used to be special because it was "the" epic. Now they've been crapping out long songs like they're nothing and it kinda shows. Not only are they not putting as much effort into them (see ITPOE) but it kind of takes away from the allure that ACOS has.

Yeah except...... Wait, I can no longer argue that half of them are Jewish.  

[lord-ruler]

J.R has a christmas album

[bloop]

1. Over Three Hills - 22:09          (Petrucci)

Over three hills and far away. He swears he will return one day.

I liked how BC&SL was all epics except for the singles, so i followed the same idea with this one.

Not the thread as a whole, but some post come close.
