We should remain awake until the new single is launched. Just saying.

I see what you did there

[Theme Dreater]

What's wrong with RR?? Trivium here, Trivium there, Trivium everywhere... -.-

How lame of them to promote a band which isn't Dream Theater, HOW DARE THEY




re: last page... what the fuck is wrong with us? lol

Let's just forget Page 125 happened and carry on with our talks about album cover cutoffs and epic song lengths.

I think we should make a fail-safe button: "Do you REALLY want to post this comment? Are you ABSOLUTLY SURE?"

[aprilethereal]

Haha, Metropolis Pt. 3: Necropolis is the best and the worst idea ever!  "Through Her Eyes" could then be taken literally, and we would have "The Gravedance of Eternity".

I laughed so hard at this

Yeah,  maybe we should follow that train of thought.

Otherwise, we will fall into infinite black clouds. Without silver linings.

Good luck with that...

And I agree with Blob, as fun as it is, please keep the jokey Metropolis 3 discussion in the Metropolis 3 thread, or even in a separate thread. It has nothing to do with the new album.

With how long this album is taking, we'd be falling into infinity...

Hope that's not the case. It would be a dramatic turn of events.

We can always watch change of seasons while waiting. Like we had to do with Live at Luna Park.

A DT12 delay would solve the issue many had here with LALP being released after DT12, just saying... ...but

While we're waiting for the album to come out, I'm going to bed. I'll be back here tomorrow when dream and day unite. Hopefully I'll have no night terrors.

Here comes another quote pyramid. Brace yourselves, DTF.

Brace for daddy Vadar to lay down the law.

Relax, All in all it's just another brick in the pyramide wall

It somehow reminds me of powerslave

Going back to Mike Mangini's interview, it really surprised me when he said he is now listening to the whole album at half speed while showering because he's got to "learn" how to play it note by note due to the improvisation during the recording process. He said: "I improvised so much of it that it’s nice to have the time –because I’m under no pressure now – just to dig in and hear it from different perspectives."

It's a relief for me because I do the same thing and I thought I was a lazy bastard. I always have to learn afterwards what I played in the studio sessions! These guys are humans after all! 

[Kotowboy]

You'd think he would have everything transcribed in Sibelius or something.

[tiagodon]

I bet Petrucci does!

I haven't read that interview yet, but yes, his statement is so human! Would be nice to see them in that moment.

Sibelius is THE most awkward programme there is... So doubt it 

[Shadow2222]

There was once a time when I participated in the quote pyramids and naming off DT lyrics to fit a sentence, but it now gets so repetitive since I've seen these for over four years 

[bosk1]

I learned a few things about this thread. 5 pages will pass, that's pretty much a given. But I'm pretty good at spotting news, because you'll have people being all excited, and quoting stuff and posting pictures with "Soon" on them.

Easiest way to find actual news in the thread is just to skim for posts by either me or Weymolith, or for links to interviews.  I can pretty much guarantee that anything official is going to be posted by me or Wey and that it will be posted as soon as released.  ...or just keep checking the "fact finder" thread.

EDIT:  Unless one of you psycho fans beats us to the punch.

Just seen this posted on the official Dream Theater Facebook page

On Monday August 5th USAToday.com will be exclusively premiering "The Enemy Inside" the first track of the new self titled Dream Theater album. You will be able to listen to it first at https://www.usatoday.com/life/music/

So there we go, Enemy Inside looks to be the first 'Single' and we get it this Monday. Seems like a fairly interesting place to put the debut as well, looking forward to seeing what it's like.

SINGLEANNOUNCEMENT NOW CAN Y'ALL JUST SHUSH IT

[nikatapi]

Great news, can't wait to hear the song

[BlobVanDam]

OH LAWDY

[Ayeegit]

I guess The Enemy Inside should have been the obvious choice, being the 2nd track on the album...

[Whatsername]

GUYS GUYS. I'm scared now. I've been looking forward to this single so much that I'm scared I will have gotten my expectations too high.

Wait, what am I saying? FUCK YEAH NEW DT SINGLE.


Edit: So do we know what time it'll be posted?
