I'm very excited to see what Dream Theater 5.0 will bring to the table. VERY.
I wish the best for ALL parties involved. This is the best news I have heard about Dream Theater in a LONG time. Good times ahead as I can only assume that JLB, JP, JR, JM are ecstatic about going into the creative and recording sessions now that the shackles have been released.
With DT 5.0, it will be interesting to see a few things:
What kind of presence will the band have in the studio and out touring?
How will the fans react?
Who will be the 'voice' of DT?
Will the departure of Mike Portnoy be the for the better or for the worse of Dream Theater?
Time will only tell.
I'm sure for some DT fans this will be A Nightmare to Remember and for others it will be The Best of Times.
