It seems odd to me that the very aspects some reviewers seem to be praising (the sound mixing/quality, the originality and distinction from other DT works) is exactly what the more negative reviews point out as their negative points.
It would indeed be nice to have an album that's good to introduce to newcomers, so we'll see
Don't try to BS her about Kevin Moore facts, she will obscure quote you in the face.
but yeah I'm waiting for a proper "here's how 'new' DT sounds like at their very best"-album to show to people.
I'm also excited by the emphasis on Romantic "with a capital R".
Winger would be better!

It's morning at DTF.

The Darklord is amazing
Quote from: dodido253 on July 31, 2013, 05:56:30 AM*snip*I have already posted several times warning folks not to link to sources that are not authorized. If someone who is not authorized to have a copy of the album says something they shouldn't, or even if someone who has a legitimate copy says something they aren't authorized to release, you cannot link to it. If you aren't sure, ask before posting. This is your official warning. Depending on the nature of the infraction, future infractions by others are likely to result in either temp. bans until after 9/24, or perm bans.
In what friggin' universe is a 68 minute long album "short"?

Quote from: Lowdz on July 31, 2013, 06:23:28 AMMy mate Phil's initial thoughts are very different to that review so I'm not worried. And the drums "absolutley ridiculous" apparently. Hopefully in a good way. And Phil said no real ballads so hmm. And a couple of songs different to anything DT have done before.Not worried by that review at all.This is in line with Rich Wilson's claim that DT12 is not ADTOE part 2. I like the fact that the songs are shorter (except the 20 min epic) on DT12. It can mean more concise songwriting and experimentation. Then again, I think Octavarium is a fantastic record from start to end (and beginning again ) and as an album has incredible stayingpower with me...I still think it is getting better with time. Plus, I remembered norwegian newspapers giving ADTOE bad reviews to mediocre reviews and I ended up loving that album. One mans thrash is another mans treasure I guess!

This gentleman has taste, folks.

We've determined it's most likely Trivium.

We are going to the next thing, and the next thing, and the next thing. It’s like creating a wig.
The bright side is that we'll probably get listening session reports and some of them may include track-by-track analyses!
I love this man.
Sorry if this makes me look like a self-centered prick, but:Quote from: ? on July 31, 2013, 02:16:29 AMThe bright side is that we'll probably get listening session reports and some of them may include track-by-track analyses!I KNEW IT! Ok, we didn't get track-by-track explanations, but these two blog posts were interesting enough!

Ok, we didn't get track-by-track explanations, but these two blog posts were interesting enough! We got explanations of some of the tracks. One of the blog posts said that The Looking Glass and Surrender to Reason are Rush-esque and that Illumination Theory is "predominantly instrumental" with a JR-driven "neoclassical" section in the middle. Therefore you were closer to 100% right than you gave yourself credit for.
