DT in the studio again!

[BlobVanDam]

What rob said. Singles are a mandatory promotional tool for an album, even for bands that don't tour at all. We'll get a single. We have to, otherwise we'd tear this place apart before the album comes out.

I'm opting for Bad Larry. I have a BMUBMD vibe for it

I bet we'll get the tracklist when the mixing (and possibly mastering) is done and the single shortly after that.

When do you think the mixing and mastering will be done? 2 weeks from now is my guess.

Because it has the word "bad" in the title

[wasteland]

You shush

If I'm not mistaken, the pre-album single has been given out before mastering with an earlier DT album. Right? The only thing you have is that it could be a bit different than the album version in terms of the way it sinks in with the album, but in my mind it has been done before.

I'd say that's a pretty good guess - the mastering won't take even half as much time as the mixing, and the mix is in progress, so 2 weeks is a likely timeframe.

Maybe this Larry is related to the Roy guy in AROP? I mean, AROP was the first single from BC&SL and it's not a good song I have a feeling "Bad Larry" will be better, though.

I don't think the tour and the single have much impact on one another. Could be wrong, but I reckon a single's pretty assured, at this point. It's marketing for the disc, not the gigs - and it is one of the very most effective ways of generating a buzz, and showing the potential buyers that they'll actually enjoy what they're gonna buy.

Well, let's make a bet then shall we 100 DTF-points to the winner! You bet for a single released before the album, and I bet that there will be no single before the release of the album.

BTW, this is a bet I really hope I lose! 

[Lolzeez]

I've been listening to more DT recently. So when the new album comes out (or leaks  ) my body will be readier than ever. But seriously,I CAN NOT WAIT! *rips off shirt and starts growling*

And for all of our sakes, put your shirt back on...

[Lucien]

I'm going to ignore the post above mine.

Anyways, a tracklist might come out within a couple of days, and a single will come out in a few weeks.

[The Letter M]

I figure we'll get tracklist (and maybe times) by month's end, and a Single in July. Then after that, in the following weeks, maybe snippets again (one per week) til the release date? That would carry us through August and September.

[YtseJamittaja]

That's not far away!!! 















But I STILL CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ibosmiley]

I myself am thinking a track list sometime maybe early July and a single sometime around the end of July. 

They seem to be really taking their time with this one, and I'm fine with that.  I'd rather have better quality later than lesser quality sooner.

I would rather see the band release a song every few weeks and abandon the whole album thing.

But really, I think we'll get a track list before July. I'm not expecting a single until July at the earliest and that's just dandy. I've been doing a run through of some older DT stuff to get the mind racing again. Needless to say, I'm really looking forward to this.

If we do, great!  I'm not expecting it though.  Whenever it comes out is fine with me.  I have patience. 

[dongringo]

It's way too early (imo) to release anymore info. I hate how bands release stuff three months in advance. It's ridiculous. Just my 2 cents.

How about Rush releasing two songs from Clockwork Angels two years before the album came out?

That was incredibly lame of them. Sucks getting a new album and having to skip two tracks.

[dedSurroun]

There will be no tracklist until mid-August.

Cover will be released early September.

As for single, that won't happen for this album (and once the album is released, you'll know why).

[Scorpion]

Not that that isn't interesting, but how do you know? Are you involved with the process or anything?

[hefdaddy42]

There will definitely be a single.  There is always a single.  I have no idea why anyone would say otherwise.

Quite bold predictions. Are you close to the band?

Not releasing would be silly, and against their Roadrunner contract isn't it? Pretty sure with Roadrunner they have to put out a single and video for each album.

This. I have learnt to ignore random predictions supposedly based on inside knowledge...

If it's true, that's a very interesting statement

That could basically mean we are getting a concept album after all, if that statement is true.

Which would be awesome 

My first guess was that this album has only 1 song, and therefore if you release a single, you release the album.
On second thought, I figured out how stupid I am.

Yeah!

A concept album FTW!

[ibosmiley]

A self titled concept album?  Hmm... that doesn't seem to make sense in my brain.

[Jinx]

Wasnt Home released as a single from Scenes? That was 1999 wasnt it? Or was that not before the release date??
