Dream Theater self titled album discussion - [SPOILER FREE DISCUSSION ONLY]

[425]

But that's how it would look in real life. I agree that the light source shouldn't be both bright like it's shining in your eyes and at the same time pointing somewhere else. But as for how it's on the clouds, that's fine. The "surface" of the clouds aren't going to be exactly perpendicular to the beam. The angle of the symbol is completely dependent on the geometry of the cloud and independent of the angle of the beam.

The picture is still kind of lazy. I just want the criticism to go where it's most deserved.

What you're saying is that the clouds closer to us are higher than the ones farther away, which changes the angle of the Majesty logo? I can sort of see it, though you have to admit on first glance it looks like an error.

[Implode]

Well if you're talking about how the symbol looks compared to the clouds, I can see where you'd have problems. I thought people were saying that the symbol angle looks off compared to the angle of the beam.

[antigoon]

I don't think people would care as much if the band wasn't doing these ridiculous ART TEASERS

[425]

Well if you're talking about how the symbol looks compared to the clouds, I can see where you'd have problems. I thought people were saying that the symbol angle looks off compared to the angle of the beam.

That was what I was initially talking about. To me, your explanation of why that's not a problem implied that the clouds are layered in such a way that the logo faces the viewer.

[Whatsername]

Eh. I'm a huge nerd so I'm okay with insinuating that Dream Theater is the band we need, but not the band we deserve.

[TheLordOfTheStrings]

JP: Hey guys, we should do something cool for the fans before the album comes out. What should we do?
JLB: Hmmmmm. Song teasers?
JP: Nahhh, we did that last year.
JMX: Give them each... a free bass?
JP: ...
JR: How about album art teasers?
MM: Yeah!
JP: Good idea! They'll love that!!

*releases album art*

Fans:

"It fucking sucks!"
"Hugh Syme is so damn lazy"
"Why do they keep going with Syme?!"

I think it went more like this, a better representation of MM's positive character.

[RMGadelha]

I just can imagine Mangini's face excited with the whole situation

[Grizz]

So, uh, if you buy the vinyl on Amazon, do you still get the digital files? How?

[TheGreatPretender]

So, uh, if you buy the vinyl on Amazon, do you still get the digital files? How?

There will probably be a redemption code included.

[RMGadelha]

Redemption for humanity code?

[425]

Redemption for you manatee code?

FTFY

[Jinx]

They are heroes in my eyes.

[RMGadelha]

I'm actually wondering right now if many people will have to completely redo their Top-50 lists after the new album is released

[wasteland]

Redemption for the manatee?

FTFJLB

I would guess so. We know the album is supposed to be good, and good albums are made of good songs!

[Bertielee]

good albums are made of good songs!

Wasteland, would you mind me using this phrase of yours in my sig?

B.Lee

[dparrott]

good albums are made of good songs!

[Zydar]

B.Lee

Why, alright. If like there to be a Ralph-level statement of the obvious

Well done 

[Whatsername]

Well done 

Thanks! I was rather proud of that.

Nerd wit + DT = Winning at life

This whole exchange just made my day. I'm glad to know some people enjoy my humor.

[emtee]

Wondering if this will be the third straight week with no major news, snippets, etc.

Ah well, we're getting pretty close now. Soon enough we'll all be hearing it in full.

News are never late, emtee. Nor they are early. They arrive precisely when they intend to.

[wolfking]

I really expected another song to be released by now.

[Jinx]

Only 20 days left! 

[Kotowboy]

 


Nah i'm good. A little under three weeks to go.

[Zydar]

The new Haken will hold me over.

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

The new Haken will hold me over.

[me7]

I'm not sure that The Mountain is just a small release that will hold us over until DT12. This is going to be a proper fight of two giants
