DT in the studio again!

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Why does John Myung look like he's glowing?

Take a look at your username 

Ninjas glow? What's next, vampires sparkling? 

[wasteland]

Black clouds over Manhattan. It's gonna be a heavy album 

[BlobVanDam]

Why does John Myung look like he's glowing?

Because of the bad attempt at "HDR".

[YtseJamittaja]

MM: "Look at my biceps!! They are at least 2x bigger than JP's!" 

[TheAtliator]

OMG that looks f'ing awesome. reminds me a lot of Lie. Look at how awesome LaBrie looks. AUFUHGH they look so cool

[TheGreatPretender]

It's for the album booklet, I assume? They wouldn't be working on a music video just yet, would they?

[Ben_Jamin]

I was thinking promo shoot.

If it is album booklet, Great background.

I hope it's not a sequel to BC&SL.

Black Clouds Pt 2: Manhattan Project

[bosk1]

I was thinking more along the lines of:

Scenes from the Pit:  Zydar's Manhattan office

They would have to bring back the sexytime samples from Home then.

Really? Nice eyes, man! They tried to do HDR on a photo of the high quality photo?

[fadetoblackdude7]

Not the best place for a photo......seems kinda bleak, innit?

[ResultsMayVary]

It's more metul.

[Orbert]

Why does John Myung look like he's glowing?

Now that you mention it, they all look like they have some kind of "aura" around them.  It's especially obvious against the black pavement behind them.

Because of the bad attempt at "HDR".

What is "HDR"?

[Dream Team]

Awwwww. 


Anyone else think we're pretty close to a single anyways?

To be honest, I really don't see the point of a single. It will not get played on the radio. Not to mention, I would rather they not intentionally write a single - ever. Seems a waste of time, a relic from a bygone era, that is still only a viable thing for kiddie pop and atrocious modern dance music.

That said, it would be awesome if they had a hit single.

[nikatapi]

MM is looking kind of funny, and James looks amazing with this length of hair. I think he might have awaken some gay feelings inside me 

[TAC]

James looks as cool as he's ever looked.

[wasteland]

It's clearly some sort of magical power of them. Matter of fact, the camera operator has no visible aura.

[MoraWintersoul]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[wasteland]

Hey, you can be more vocal about James

Also, how frightening is JP there? Seriously, this one is really a frightening still. 

[jonnybaxy]

Why is JLB ginger?

[MoraWintersoul]

Hey, you can be more vocal about James

Everyone's expecting that, so I won't

[TL]

Awwwww.

To be fair, I think when most people talk about them releasing a 'single', they just mean a song from the album being officially released online prior to the release of the album, and not a radio single. Like how On the Backs of Angels was released before ADToE.

[dparrott]

Singles aren't just for radio.  They are also to generate interest in the next album.  I sure don't want to wait all the way to Sept. to hear new material. 

[Lucien]

Awwwww.

I don't care if it's played on the radio (though Ozzy's Boneyard and Octane on Sirius XM would almost undoubtedly play it anyways), I just want something to chew on other than facts. Even the smallest snippet of a song would give me something to taste.

And of course, when the album comes out, I'll scarf it down.

Just think how much interest a single would generate if it was included on a CD along with the Live DVD. Just one more reason to buy the DVD. Since the DVD is coming out so late, why not? Even better, make it a video bonus. That might also explain the DVD delay. Hmmm.....

[countoftuscany42]

^but from the last OTE update, the dvd appears to be finished, while DT still have studio work to do.  they wouldnt hold off this long just to add the single to the dvd, thats like another month plus manufacturing time...as cool an idea as it is, i really hope not.

[DreamerTV]

James looks as cool as he's ever looked.

[SeRoX]

Man, James looks fantastic, reminds me his style of Awake era a bit. If you dye your hair black we all be pleased.

Edit: edit.

It's HDR, High Dynamic Range, from a shitty filter on a smartphone. See https://www.reddit.com/r/shittyHDR for more examples.

Not to piss on your feelings towards JLB but he looks like Dave Mustain 

[Kotowboy]

Why is JLB ginger?

Because he is naturally a redhead ?
