that's.. lame
The cover was even more lame. MP sitting on a giant marshmallow giving what was deemed "The Prog Claw"




Oh God, now I remember.

Probably not intentional at all, but it's funny, from left to right you have the newest members to the oldest members.

I also find it ironic how the remaining 2 founding members are the youngest guys in the band! :lol

Wow, wikipedia has suddenly got a lot more info than yesterday on the track listings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Dramatic_Turn_of_Events

I dont think any of the track lengths are real tbh. Although I really hope OTBOA isnt 46 seconds long

That'd be funny to have a 46 second song with lyrics.. Hmm. That'd be interesting. Wasn't it 8:46 earlier  :lol

And I like how this version has the lyricists

funny how long songs used to be desired, now some people dont want any
It's a scarcity thing. I don't think we collectively "like" a certain type of song any more than another - but on the heels of the long-song apocalypse of Black Clouds & Silver Linings, which succeeds an album featuring the 25-minute long In the Presence of Enemies (and the 15 minute long Ministry of Lost Souls), which is the direct successor to Octavarium, we're a little oversaturated on the sprawling epics as of right now.

They used to be a lot more exciting when, prior to 2005, the longest single track was A Change of Seasons, released back in 1995, and written as far back as the 1980s. Give us two or three albums of 9 minuters and we'll be looking forward to the next epic again, but right now it's so happenstance that it's taken the shine off a little bit.

Wow, wikipedia has suddenly got a lot more info than yesterday on the track listings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Dramatic_Turn_of_Events

I really wish people would stop being dicks on the wikipedia page.

Love the pictures; I wouldn't mind seeing them being used for the album booklet at all.

Has JM been working out?
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Funny, everything seems better now in DT land. (Writing process, photographs, band dynamics). Now, if both the album art and album rock everything will be stellar. :hat
