Hey, guys.  Don't log off.  Even more cool stuff is coming in

Post of the year.

Easily.. Especially in terms of timing  :biggrin:

You haven't even been here two months, let alone a year, how can you say that? :biggrin:

Come on ... I've been following this forum for ages without registration... I was more focused on posting on the MP forum. 

'Twas a playful jab, nothing more.
Hey dude slow the fuck down so we can finish together at the same time.  :biggrin:

There will be more cool stuff soon, but not just now.

your meaning for 'soon' is the same of RR (a month ;D) or is it ACTUALLY soon? (1 week or less for me)

Hey guys maybe the first track he's talking about (the instrumental opening) isn't part of FAS? Maybe it's just the opening we saw on the board but they didn't include it on the tracklist?

The board had 8 tracks plus an opening and an easter egg. I'm guessing that FAS is the opening.

There's no reason why they shouldn't include the opening track in the tracklist.

Do we know why all the track titles were posted in capital letters? Is it to differentiate the song titles from the sections titles?

Scatman vocal part is a transition between songs. At :38 you can hear the drum sound..... this definitely doesn't suck. :caffeine:

Do we have any reason to believe that will actually be on the album?  The scat thing is fun, but it seems more likely to me that that's an in-studio joke than an actual piece of DT12.

I hope you are right, I don't know if I could enjoy something like that in a DT album.

How about a Non Album single? I know it wouldn't happen but I think it would be cool. Or maybe a single with an actual non album B side? Even if it's like a live in studio jam or something.  IDK
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

A non album single? What would be the point of that, my friend? :lol The whole point of releasing a single is to promote the album. Any song good enough to represent this album should be on the album! You silly head.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

It's confirmed there will be a single! In other news, it was also confirmed that John Petrucci will in fact be playing the guitars on this album.

That's a very interesting idea, it's like saying "so you liked this song? well guess what, in 2 months you'll be able to get a new album full of more awesome stuff like this, all of which you haven't heard of!" and you avoid the problem of burning a song from the album, leaving pure fresh content. I like it.
