Rename ADTOE
« on: September 18, 2011, 10:07:13 AM »
And any songs on it that you might have a preferred title for. Just for fun.
For me the album has 3 tracks with titles that are very eligible to be interesting album titles; On The Backs of Angels, Bridges in The Sky and Breaking All Illusions. All better than ADTOE imo.
Non-track titles suggestions for me would be Crossing Bridges, Yelling at The Stars and Dream Theater (Self titled), the last one is my favorite.
Song renames: BMUBMD: Falling to Pieces, This is The Life: Our Gift Divine.
Off-topic: The picture on the Beneath The Surface page of the booklet would have been a great cover art too imo.
Your turn.

I think the original title of Bridges in the Sky would have been cool. Or Breaking All Illusions would have been even better. Actually yep, I'm going with Breaking All Illusions. Would be a somewhat apt title.

Bridges in the Sky would have been an amazing album title but I am fine with what DT decided on.

That's what I was going to say.

I actually don't like the album title. At the same time, I can't think of a better one. So I really can't complain.

Mh, let's see...

Bridges In The Sky

Dead End Road
Crash And Burn
A Shadow In The Sand
In The Hands Of Faith
Again As One
Resistence Is Calling
Coming Undone
Seared With Scars
Yelling At The Stars

There are at least some of those which I feel better than the original titles (LNF, BAI). To those who may wonder, "Seared With Scars" are the last three spoken words in BAI.

BAI would have given the opportunity of better cover art too.

Bridges In The Sky was a fine title, especially given the artwork Syme came up with. Not sure about the reasoning behind the change to ADTOE or the wimping out on The Shaman's Trance/BITS. TST fits the song better.

Would have preferred this. One, explaining the Shaman's voice in the intro and outro would have been a lot simpler; "you see, it USED to be called the 'Shaman's Trance'...".  :lol

However, after hearing the the grand scheme they were going for with the lyrics, I think the title fits more now than I did initially. Just will mention though, when I told my friend who is a moderate DT fan the name of the new album, he chuckled the same way he did when I told him about Systematic Chaos.

The album title is perfect as it is because it accurately depicts the subject matter of each song AND the real life soap opera over the last year.

Yeah, Jamesman42 got it. Although I guess it wasn't even necessary for me to post it - however ambiguously - since MP's most recent interview is so nice, stemming the misplaced hate.

And what I meant by referencing your post is I agree with your idea of using "Breaking All Illusions" as the title.

I don't really "get" ADTOE as a title, since it describes neither the music nor the lyrical content.
