DT in the studio again!

[darkshade]

DT12 is actually going to be a double album (Disc 1 and Disc 2), with one disc devoted to an entire 72 minute song divided into 12 sections (each section averages out to about 6 minutes each).
The second disc will consist of 11 individual songs, and one of them will be a two-part song, making each disc consist
of 12 tracks with 12 songs total.

Somewhere between those 24 tracks will be the instrumental.

Six Degrees was a double album, so it wouldn't surprise me if DT12 was a double album, if we're still crazy enough to believe in nuggetz.

[Kotowboy]

Or it's a double album consisting of One Instrumental song lasting one hour and One Epic lasting one hour.

[Kotowboy]

And JMX  wrote the lyrics for the Epic.

[Perpetual Change]

I really kinda like the relative silence surrounding the writing of the new album. Not that I don't like knowing what's going on, but I'd rather be more surprised and blown away by a great album, like I was with ADTOE, than hyped-up and then let down, like I've been with previous DT albums sometimes.

[TheLordOfTheStrings]

I hope they compile all the twitter Q's into one video when they're finished releasing them.

Yay, Nostalgia Critic.

I'd rather have them become a constant companion of our wait. One or two questions a week until new details come, likely by June 

[TAC]

Am I the only one who thinks we're gonna get the new studio album before we get Live At Luna Park? Jeesh!

[Pols Voice]

Man, I love DT instrumentals.

I never see people list DT's instrumentals in their top 20 DT songs, let alone among DT's best songs, yet everyone pees themselves a little at the thought of a new one.

Stream of Consciousness and Overture 1928 were in my top 20 (Erotomania and Hell's Kitchen were 25 and 26), but since barely anyone read my list, I can see why you'd make that mistake.  





EDIT: Aw, hell, if Scorpion can self promote, I can too: https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=35406.0

Hey there.

[cramx3]

Great news about Myung! Very excited now 

[Cool Chris]

Geez, that'll teach me to not read peoples' "Top XX DT songs" threads/posts!

Instrumentals by any band are always meh to me, and DT is no different. Like the rest of their catalog, some instrumentals are great, some are good, some are lame. News of another one doesn't excite me like the other awesome updates we've received. But anyway, I will stop being ants at this picnic.

[darkshade]

Guys, what if the instrumental is a 30 second spacey intro that leads into the first song of the album??

[GasparXR]

As in Regression 1928 of Consciousness Dogmania?!

[Kotowboy]

Didn't he write Breaking All Illusions though ?

I have to say I was really underwhelmed with that song.

And the lyrics were nothing spectacular.

[Lucidity]

I don't think everyone gets excited over instrumentals because we love the past ones so much, i think it's because we're hoping for a really good trump-card instrumental.

Hypothetically, an instrumental should be the greatest thing ever coming from DT, since every member has insane musical ability. Maybe I'm just speaking for myself, but I think just I'm waiting for the right one to finally be written.

[philmcson]

Looks a bit like lonestar 

[jonnybaxy]

Wait a minute man! I've just remembered a video that desribes how I feel about the album!

5 + 8 = 12

OMG NUGGETZ


With regards to the album, I have one thing to say that is coming more and more true the more I hear about it:

another song from JM AND and instrumental!!!!!  

THERE'S NOT A SINGLE THING IN THE UNIVERSE THAT'S BETTER THAN THE FACT THAT FREAKIN MR MYUNG ANSWERED MY QUESTION. I STARTED DANCING AROUND THE HOUSE, SCREAMING AND SHIT. My girlfriend gave me a strange look. BUT WHATEVER.

 DT > GIRLFRIEND

But every song is an instrumental until they record vocals

And the lyrics were nothing spectacular.

Those lyrics were infinitely better than any lyrics from the previous two albums, any song on those previous albums. They may not have been Shakespeare but a major improvement... ADTOE in itself was a major lyrical improvement

Wait, that was you who asked the question?

If so, that means that both questions so far have been from members of Dream Theater Forums! (AdamEastment and you.)

But you quoted me, and I was talking about DT12.

I think 99% of questions asked were spammed by us

[Cedar redaC]

Well, Cedar, you have my sincerest and biggest esteem. It's good to know that whatever church/organization you will be joining have people like you in it. 

Thanks man, I appreciate that.

Edit: By the way, one of my friends just got his call to Italy.

Corrected! 

[Super Dude]

If that is true then they don't need to be videos. They could just be audio clips.

Well then it's settled. DT, if you are reading this, please... no more videos unless they are ZOMG1080pHIGHDEF!!!!!111 Because they are not worth anyone's time. Either release your updates on 3D BluRay or on some form of lossless audio format we can download... because 320 on youtube is not worthy of your fans.

Holy crap, do you belong to the AT forum? 'Cause that's the only other place I know with that penguin.
