Just in time for it to be known by fans by the time the tour comes.

the only image i have in my head is of an old pilot guy hanging on to the rope, and he has the hat with flaps on it too

i cant imagine whats on the end of the rope, but i like the plane/sky

really awesome

I'm thinking it's not a tightrope... look at the right side of the picture. There's nothing there.

There is...a tiny line as though the tightrope extends out into the distance.

Damn that was quick! Album gets mastered and we get a single tomorrow? And people thought the band wouldn't be doing cool shit like this once MP left!

chrisbDTM · « **Reply #40 on:** June 28, 2011, 12:01:31 PM »

not sure how you thought of a tightrope, but maybe this is an individual artwork for this particular song?

would be interesting, but i hope that if it isnt the album cover, i hope it has the warm/ bright colors. very refreshing after the darkness of SC and BCSL

Also... fuck yes!

Wonder if MP is going to listen at 11 tomorrow

I don't know if MP will listen but expect a barrage of Adrenaline Mob facebook posts around 11AM as a counterattack

ReaPsTA · « **Reply #52 on:** June 28, 2011, 12:27:14 PM »

Upon seeing this thread, I left my room pumping my fists in the air trumphantly.

"Yes! Yes! Sound the trumpets of the angels! New Dream Theater song, tomorrow!"

My mom gave me the "That's good!" mom thing. She got that I was excited but couldn't relate to it.

My brother, who's a Nirvana fan, gave me an annoyed scowl.

Thomas "Hey man, why do I care?"
Me "Because Dream Theater's releasing a new song."
Thomas "At least your band releases new material still."
Me "Yeah, well, what can I say? John Petrucci hasn't committed suicide yet."

And then I danced away knowing I won the conversation.

I'm pumped. Definitely wasn't expecting this news. I figure we're bound to see the full artwork too in light of the teaser picture.

I did that! Giddily hopped around the house, telling everyone I could, between hyperventilated breaths. And then wrote on my friend's wall 'cause I know he'll love it.

Ooooooh I can't wait.

Not to take anything away from the band or RoadRunner, but I'm fairly sure that they knew what the single was going to be and that they mixed/mastered it first in order to get ready for its release as a single.

I don't see why they would do that. It would actually make releasing the single more expensive. If everything was mixed mastered together and is done today, all you have to do is get an mp3 file from the mastering engineer and upload it to Youtube tomorrow. If you mix/master it in a separate session you have to pay more money both for Andy Wallace (not a cheap mixer) and especially for the mastering engineer (a cheap mastering engineer costs almost $100 an hour, and I doubt DT used a cheap engineer).

It's not like before where if you want to release a single you need the final song done weeks in advance. If RR wanted to release the single after it was done this morning, they could have.

If this is sixth form induction, I think I did the exact same thing five years ago. It might've been Muse, but nonetheless - absolute waste of time, induction day. It did me no harm at all. I got my degree today and everything.

Staying at home and listening to Dream Theater is honestly the best thing you can possibly do.

EDIT: Although, come to think of it, I got my degree today and yet this is the thing I'm excited about. Yeah, I'm never going to grow up.

I wasn't insisting it was done in a separate session, just that when it came time to mix they did that song first, and then when it came time to master they once again did it first.
