Okay, some people are just really spoiled by the internet. Let me give you guys an example of what it was like back in the "old days," i.e., BEFORE the internet.
After Images & Words came out, DT's "next album" (which no one even knew the title yet) was really anticipated. There were no internet forums like this to even discuss what you
hoped (or didn't hope) what it would sound like. You actually had to have
friends - in real life! - who were into DT. The best update I ever got about Awake was in a Guitar World magazine around 1993 or so that said something like, "John Petrucci and Dream Theater are in a studio working on the followup to Images & Words."
That was it! No album title, no song list, no soundclips, no videos, no cover art - NOTHING. Just a little paragraph about how they were in the process of recording the album. And, if you didn't get that particular issue of Guitar World, you might not have even known DT was recording their next album, unless another magazine mentioned it or something. The younger generation (the one right after mine) is REALLY spoiled....
So, the point is: Really, shut the hell up.
