Τhanks for the info. The question is if DT will play any new songs on the first tour dates, given that the release of a single in the next days seems unlikely if the mastering is not done yet.

If anyone knows the process of mixing and mastering, i was wondering how long could it take until the album is finished.

Well mixing has to be done by now, now mastering is basically about details on EQing gain levels and some other complex stuff like dynamics, aaaaaand since we are talking about DT songs it might TAKE around 4 or 5 weeks, rough numbers of course.

Of course the times are fake. One of them is 6:66.

Funny how that was added 9 minutes ago... :lol

I agree these are probably fake, but it'd be interesting if "The Shaman's Trance" was (one of) the longest track(s) on the album and placed smack dab in the middle!

You think it might be true that a song length could be 6:66, huh?

And now who ever added 6:66 has added that the 17 minute Shaman's Trance is an instrumental  :rollin

Imagine that - a 17 minute DT instrumental! :facepalm:

Only DT are capable of adding 6 more seconds on to a minute. I believe it.

 :lol This is true. I'd laugh if 6:66 showed up on the album's liner notes, but the clock ran to 7:06...technically 6 minutes and 66 seconds...

It keeps changing. When I looked earlier there was only 8:59 and 17:21.

I wouldn't like having an 17 min instrumental. THAT would be dragging it out.

I don't want a 17 min song at all. Especially if it has the name "Shaman's Trance". Terrible name for a long song. That one should be 5-7 min long.

Considering the wikipedia page doesn't seem to have proper, independet moderation I wouldn't take any of those track lengths as definite in any sense.

I could live with a 17 min song, but then it has to be really good. Nice lyrics and very musical.

I think people are tired of DT's long songs because its become a gimmick at this point, they pretty much guarantee at least one per album now.  So something different from the norm is what prog is all about isn't it?  I wouldn't be against a 17 minute song but I'm sure a lot of people feel like the "epic" songs aren't as epic as they used to be, since its to be expected now.

What? Why not? The new vibe has a lot of possitive energy, i mean is DT i wouldnt mind a double disc with 20, 50 minute lenght songs at all!
