I don't know if I like the title, but that's possibly because I'd already seen the release date, and I was letting myself getting excited about the announcement. "The title is... THERE IS NO TITLE!" Bit anticlimactic. I think it'd be fair to say ADToE was the album that had something to prove... but, this is the one written as a gang, this is the one that's a statement of the new lineup, so I do see the logic.
If they have a
song called Dream Theater, I'll be stoked. That's ballsy. Very excited to see the cover art and the tracklist. But a little underwhelmed by today's announcement, personally. Completely my own fault, but it feels like the lid's not been lifted. It's just drifted ajar.
Mind you, crockery must be
flying in the Chateau Portnoy. Not only have they positioned this as the definitive DT album... but they did a thing the Beatles did!! It is going to take a Lost
marathon to get MP back to his happy place.
And the storm of replies is beginning to die down.
I guess most of them are getting back to their lives.
Opposite here, I've just got in from work. BRING THE THUNDER!!
