I don't care much for the album title but frankly I don't really care in general.  I just want the music itself to be good.  Cannot wait for tomorrow.

What's gonna happen tomorrow?

They said stay tuned for tomorrow for more information.

To me A Dramatic Turn of Events doesn't really sound like an album title, but that doesn't really bother me. I really don't usually give album titles much thought.
Photobucket sucks.

The Shamans Trance to me sounds very much in line with JP's recent trend of fantasy lyrics.

Upon more thought...DT isn't a lyric-driven band with great titles left and right.  Most titles are pretty cheesy, so I'll be optimistic and hope that the music is great.  The thing that is most exciting about the announcement is the 9 songs.  I think BCSL's weakness was that it didn't bulk up DT's catalogue, so I'm excited to see that this truly is a new chapter.

Also....

WDADU - 8 songs
IAW - 8 songs
Awake - 11 songs
FII - 11 songs
SFAM -12 songs
SDOIT -6 songs
TOT - 7 songs
OVM - 8 songs
SC - 9 songs
BCSL - 6 songs  <-- middle album?
ADTOE - 9 songs
DT12 -8
DT13 - 7
DT14 - 6
DT15 - 12
DT16 - 11
DT17 - 11
DT18 - 8
DT19 - 8

Looks like we've got 8 more albums to look forward to. :caffeine:

Prophets, apostles, preachers, martyrs, pioneers of knowledge, inspired artists in every art, ordinary men and the Man-God, all pay tribute to loneliness, to the life of silence, to the night." - A.

Not sure if this has been mentioned in the previous pages but if you're worried about the song titles being bad - see 'Erotomania'

Awful title - mind blowing music - so who cares what they're called right.

A little earlier it said on the Wiki page that Shaman's Trance was instrumental, but it's gone now.

Whenever I think of 'This Is The Life', it reminds me of the Foo Fighters song 'Ain't It The Life' (if you haven't heard it, Youtube it). And this is a good thing.
Actually, I think about 'This Is Your Life' which is a great The Killers song.

Also, as far as The Shaman's Trance, the first thing that popped into my mind (and not in a good way) was this:

It also said that tracks 7 and 8 were written by John Myung.

Some overeager fan making up nonsense. He could be right! But it's a guess. Album 12 could be called "Batcave," but I'm not putting it on Wikipedia.

Of course they're going to write about MP's departure, given the stuff in BC&SL I think they take what inspiration they get

Also song titles remind me of recent IM a bit

Yes, my actual first thought was that it is a little too similar to the concept of black clouds and silver linings; both titles sort of imply the same type of thing. Not EXACTLY, I know, but samey in that they're about situations that change or move from a negative to positive result. I also wish it wouldn't so blatantly reference MP's departure.

Whatever, I'm sure the music will be great.

Wow, when I first read about this title and track listing, I thought for sure it was fake. But now to have it confirmed by JP...eh, I don't know. It doesn't really matter to me since it's the music I care about, I'd listen to something I like regardless of its title or the name of the album it appeared on. This just seems to me to be milking the fact that Mike left more. Okay, he left, it was a big deal, but does the next album have to reference it? Especially when it has to be their most uninspired and uninteresting album title to date.



Why not? It happened didn't it? It's a lot more interesting than JP making up some cheesy fantasy, this is actually based in real emotions. I know I'd write a song about it if I was in a similar situation. I also know I wouldn't really give a crap that some fans are like "oh noes, we don't talk about MP anymore, I can't believe they did this". It may be some kind of no-go subject for some, but I'm sure the band has a different feeling about it, and they have every right to sing about it.

Not exactly the kind of names I would expect. Looks like the guys (specially JP) were strongly influenced by the recent events, of course. But, even if they name the album "Boogie boogie Jamboree" or "Party at the beach", I would still be anxious about it.

What about a hidden track named "MP can suck it"?

Too much?

OK. Sorry.

Can't believe I missed this thread for seven pages!  I just found out on facebook!  :lol

Album name sounds entirely too obvious, but all the tracks sound awesome!  Except "The Shaman's Trance," which is bound to become the new TCOT unless Aniland's prediction holds true.   ;)

And the album's coming out on September 13th?  Happy birthday to me!

Oh man, what if "The Shaman's Trance" ends up being the one track Myung wrote?  And what if it happens to suck?  We're never going to want him to write again!  :rollin :rollin
