New Album Title (A Dramatic Turn of Events) and Track Listing Revealed

[RaiseTheKnife]

...and even then, they had their lawyers respond to me...they didnt even do it themselves!!
   

Its important to note that the guys went through this before in '97 when MP threatened to quit then, so maybe enough was enough by this point.  Hypothetically speaking, of course.

Or did they see MP's quitting as another control tactic, and did not want to fall for it?  Why else quit the band if he didn't really want to lose it:

"....and then at the end of October, after 6 weeks of reflection, I was willing to do it just for the sake of not losing my own band . . ."

Yes, I'm an ass.  And you're now banned.  See you later.

What did he say?

Why do you think that asking this is a good idea?

I'm interested, too, and don't know why it wouldn't be a good idea.

"He's banned because he said something wrong but I'll not say what it was"
vs.
"He's banned because he said: $foo"

Compare. And take into consideration that we're regular members who can also be potentially banned, so specific examples of trespasses can give us a better idea of what to rather avoid.

He posted a lot of off-topic stuff, then bosky moved his off-topic posts, then Aniland got mad and directed a profanity-laden post at bosky.

[bosk1]

He posted a lot of off-topic stuff, which he was warned about for being off-topic, then bosky moved his off-topic posts because people kept responding off topic, then Aniland got mad and directed a profanity-laden post at bosky.

That's correct as far as the reason for the ban.  I edited slightly to include more of the factual chain of events.

But I'll also add that why mod decisions are made is also off topic (in addition to not really being anyone else's business anyway).  So let's get back to the topic, shall we?

Should be artwork soon.
Should be new official DT site soon.
Maybe track lengths and hopefully a teaser and a single.


Sept will be a big music month with Opeth, DT,  Matheos/Arch. When 3 highly anticipated albums are released so
close together it's sometimes difficult to give proper attention to them all...but I'll damn sure try 

[Blackfield]

So 12 days until we hear new material, if they don't release the single before then!

The new DT site is traditionally updated on the week of release, I think.

New artwork soon, though. Really looking forward to that.

[bosk1]

Judging from past history, probably not until a little after release date, unless Itchy suddenly becomes motivated to actually do his job.

I think a single before then is unlikely.  But you never know.

Hey Bosk, since I'm kinda still a new member, do you change the skin of DTF every time a new albums comes out?

Hoping to hear a single before then. Would concert bootlegs be considered "leaks"?

[bosk1]

Yes, we try to stay current.

[bosk1]

No.  As in the past, if the band comes out and says that they feel strongly that certain performances not be shared, I will take that into consideration.  But generally speaking, if someone posts something from a show, that's fine.

[Gorille85]

New artwork soon, though. Really looking forward to that.

It's official?

DT hasn't said anything about it; they're discussing the idea that it should come out soon.

So the first we hear one of the new songs might be live?  That's an interesting change.

I hope they will relase single in next few days and play it live on this tour

Maybe I'm weird, but change "Dream Theater" to the DT font and throw the Majesty symbol on there somewhere and I'd actually kinda like it.

I will admit, though I made it as a joke, I do think that it wouldn't be a bad cover.

Edit: Just to see what it would look like;

Maybe I'm biased, but that last one actually does look pretty cool to me, in a simple/elegant sort of way.

[tgstk2]

beatles..the white album.

[Jaffa]

But that title's already tak- oh, I see what you did there.  Cle-ver!

That's actually very awesome. If you can, try one with this blue (fading down lighter perhaps) - with white font/text:
