Which is the instrumental on 'Dream Theater'?

[cyberdrummer]

Enigma Machine sounds most likely to me.

[BlobVanDam]

Along For The Ride, because I can't imagine that lyric being part of a song. Same goes for others, but the placement seems like it could be about right.

[cyberdrummer]

Along For The Ride, because I can't imagine that lyric being part of a song. Same goes for others, but the placement seems like it could be good.

Have you heard The Count of Tuscany? 

"Get into my car
Let's go for a drive
Along the way
I'll be your guide
Just step inside"

[Ruba]

Enigma Machine or Behind the Veil. I'll go with Behind the Veil.

Along For The Ride, because I can't imagine that lyric being part of a song. Same goes for others, but the placement seems like it could be good.

Have you heard The Count of Tuscany? 

"Get into my car
Let's go for a drive
Along the way
I'll be your guide
Just step inside"

And JP is writing lyrics for the album  . I can't wait  .

But with a name like The Count of Tuscany, how could it NOT have lyrics? Can you imagine naming an instrumental something so specifically ridiculously awesome?
"What can we name this instrumental?"
"Hey I know, how about The Count of Tuscany?"
"Sounds great!"

Along For The Ride is a fairly generic phrase that could fit an instrumental.

[Jinx]

The Enigma Machine just stirs up crazy images of Mike Mangini literally murdering a drumkit. It's gonna be nuts! 

[?]

I bet it's Enigma Machine, not only because of the title, but also due to its place in the tracklist.

[Tomislav95]

The first time I saw tracklist I thought Enigma Machine could be instrumental.

[Zydar]

The Looking Glass

And I base that on absolutely nothing.

[BlobVanDam]

The Looking Glass

And I base that on absolutely nothing.

As opposed to the rest of us.

[Meatrose]

I think that it's "Enigma Machine". Why? Because if someone presented me a list with these track names and asked me which one I didn't want to write lyrics to, that would be my pick. 

[Bolsters]

I went with Behind The Veil.

[ariich]

I voted for Along For the Ride. Just sounds like it could make a good instrumental.

[Jinx]

Just thought, the False Awakening Suite could end up being like A Mind Beside Itself, with Sleep Paralysis being the instrumental, Night Terrors going 8-9 minutes and Lucid Dreaming being a bit of a ballad like The Silent Man.

[Elite]

I'm gonna go ahead and say that the first track, 'False Awakening Suite' is the instrumental. Might sound odd, but why the hell not open with something grand like a multi-part instrumental overture? No, I'm not trolling and I'm very serious. I think it definitely could be it.

[Bolsters]

Just thought, the False Awakening Suite could end up being like A Mind Beside Itself, with Sleep Paralysis being the instrumental, Night Terrors going 8-9 minutes and Lucid Dreaming being a bit of a ballad like The Silent Man.

Well they are probably recreating Awake this time so this makes sense.

[Ruba]

Just thought, the False Awakening Suite could end up being like A Mind Beside Itself, with Sleep Paralysis being the instrumental, Night Terrors going 8-9 minutes and Lucid Dreaming being a bit of a ballad like The Silent Man.

Hmmm, an interesting theory, I like it. Though Erotomania, Voices and The Silent Man are listed as separate tracks on Awake. But why not?

[KevShmev]

But with a name like The Count of Tuscany, how could it NOT have lyrics? Can you imagine naming an instrumental something so specifically ridiculously awesome?
"What can we name this instrumental?"
"Hey I know, how about The Count of Tuscany?"
"Sounds great!"
 

Frank Zappa had an instrumental titled Sexual Harassment in the Work Place.

That is amazing. Not sure DT is quite as out there as Zappa, or anyone for that matter.

[ariich]

Frank Zappa had an instrumental titled Sexual Harassment in the Work Place. 

That's brilliant.

[Hayden]

I'm hoping "Behind the Veil", so that we can be spared some potentially poor lyrics.

[wasteland]

Enigma Machine! Wasn't Along For The Ride credited as a non instrumental track on the album whiteboard?

[Bolsters]

I'm hoping "Behind the Veil", so that we can be spared some potentially poor lyrics.

"Along For The Ride" gives you a better impression of potential lyrics?

[Hayden]

Haha, not much, no. Neither sound too promising, but the title "Behind the Veil" seems to have a greater likelihood of producing cliche lyrics, which I'm actually more critical of than cheesy lyrics.

[Ben_Jamin]

The Bigger Picture...

[JoeG]

The Bigger Picture, Enigma Machine, and Along for the Ride all sound likely.

I'm also guessing that Sleep Paralysis, Paradoxe de la Lumière Noire, and The Pursuit of Truth could all be instrumental sections of their respective songs.
 

[The Letter M]

Remember...according to the Progress Chart, "Opening" was also instrumental, but we'll have to wait and see if part or all of "False Awakening Suite" is instrumental.

Also, went with "Enigma Machine" because a complicated instrumental might sound machine like, very rhythmic and fast.

[senecadawg2]

Along for the Ride and Enigma Machine could both work, but I've got a hunch about the former.

[robwebster]

I'm cheating and saying False Awakening Suite cos I'm pretty sure it's the intro track from the bottom of the board.

[The Letter M]

I'm cheating and saying False Awakening Suite cos I'm pretty sure it's the intro track from the bottom of the board.

If you're going by the Progress Chart, then TWO songs are instrumental, "YARGGG" and "The Clover".

-Marc.

[Full Speed]

I think Enigma Machine is the full instramental track, but I also think Sleep Paralysis and Paradoxe de la Lumière Noire will be shorter instramental openings for each of their multi-part songs/suites. Plus the album's Easter Egg.

[Dream Team]

The Enigma Machine just stirs up crazy images of Mike Mangini literally murdering a drumkit. It's gonna be nuts! 

Yes indeed! I can see it now: "After surveying the carnage, the investigators and coroners have not been able to determine a motive for the crime. The wreckage was disposed of so as to protect the more squeamish members of the band and its fans".

My guess for motive is MM finding some random post on the internet like "I like MP's drumming better!".

-Marc.

Yep, that's what I mean! "Intro - YARGGG." I think False Awakening Suite is YARGGG, and I've brought shame on my family by not remembering that's what the intro was called, seeing as it was the best title on the board.

[Lucidity]

I'm going for Enigma Machine. If it's not instrumental, then I can't imagine liking the lyrics at all, so I'm hoping it will be o.O

Then again, it could be Along for the Ride, because the title doesn't make it seem like a song that would have lyrics.

[Thematt202]

It can't be Along for the Ride as that kept its working title and on the progress chart it clearly had lyrics.  Unless The Clover is now Along for the Ride and Along for the Ride is, I don't know, The Looking Glass?*
