So am I to gather that the False Awakening Suite is rather short and sweet (suite) and explores different moods?
I don't think so. They have IT being an epic at an estimate 20min, that leaves the rest could all be 7.5 min. Long at most. So, going by JP saying the epic is the centerpiece within a sea of shorter songs, you have the possibility of FAS being 7min. If not longer.
That all brings me to my theory of False Awakening Suite...Sleep Paralysis, will be all Orchestra, as having a concert intro being like their recent cinematic openings is what they felt like doing, it'll all lead into Nightmare Terrors kicking off with the introduction of either JP JR or better yet JM, then the band explodes and enters. Either JLB comes in Halfway or they wait till Lucid Dreams.
The best way I can describe it is ITPOE pt.1, just add an orchestral intro like Overture.
