In loving memory of those two threads, I would like to open a third, since the new album was just released!

I absolutely LOVED the creativity and ideas put into those two threads, creativity I would love to see again!

[theseoafs]

why though

[Nearmyth]

why though

I believe he said so in his second sentence 

I do think it's fun and interesting to see what people can come up with, it gives a cool perspective on things.

Great! Love the song names. They sound very DT-esque. They remind me of a mix of JP solo album song titles with DT song titles.

I like the weather-related concept too...JR would have a field day with environmental patches with this idea!

The Sky Suspended sounds like it would be my fav on the album.

[Lucien]

The Sky Suspended is actually the name of one of the last chapters in Watership Down, my favorite book.

1. What Will You Leave Behind (Part 1) 8:55
i.  Anger
ii. Hatred
iii. Denial
2. The Bridges We Once Burned (Guest vox: Mike Portnoy) 5:09
3. The Colors Of Future 6:21
4. Into The Bottom Sand 4:17

6. The Fortress 5:15
7. Lost In A Distant Horizon 9:10
8. Paradox (Instrumental) 3:43
9. Distant Utopia 15:02

ii. Resurrection
iii. Into A Better Tomorrow
10. What Will You Leave Behind (Part 2) 16:41
iv.  Change Of direction
v.  From The Ashes
vi. Leave It All Behind

This Would Be A heavy, But also very melodic album. A bit like Tot, SC and IaW thrown together. I will Also make song descriptions now, enjoy 

1.  What Will You Leave Behind (Part 1): Super heavy and fast opener. Crazy riffing from Petrucci and John Lord type organs from Rudess. James comes in only towards the end of the song. Song ends in a soft note, foreshadowing the second part of the song.

2. The Bridges We Once Burned: Wither-like Ballad Featuring MP in guest vocals.

3. The Colors Of Future: A bit like Constant Motion and Honor Thy Father combined. Little bit of a djenty feel to this song. The heaviest DT-song ever!

4. Into The Bottom Sand: A melancholic ballad. A bit like Eve, Hollow Years and Repentance Thrown together.

5. A Clockwork Cataclysm: Fast and technical song, A bit like Panic Attack.

6. The Fortress: Straightforward/Poppy metal song, in the vein of Forsaken.

7. Lost In A Distant Horizon: An interesting song. Petrucci stays in the backround during this song, while Rudess drives the song forward. Lots of piano and synths!

8. Paradox: Short and fast instrumental. A bit like Acid Rain (Liquid Tension Experiment).

9. Distant Utopia: Into the title track we go!. Like the rest of the album, Heavy but super melodic. Throw The Glass Prison and Octavarium together and you are pretty close.

10. What Will You Leave Behind (Part 2): The epic finale! Recurring themes from part one, but the song sounds quite different. This is a LOT more melodic than Part one. It has the Vintage-DT feel to it, a bit like ACOS. It still has the melancholic vocals by James like in Part one. However, song ends after a beautiful guitar/synth Unison by Petrucci and Rudess.


Phew!! Hope you have as much fun reading this, as i had doing it.   

[Lucien]

[RoeDent]

There can't be enough of this type of thread. Really fascinating to see what people come up with in their imaginations. And the funny ones, of course!

[Viking of the Sagas]

I really only see the funny ones.

[BlackInk]

People should make these albums, not as DT albums but as their own. Some of the album titles and song names are really cool.

Honestly, this sounds like a killer album:

[ToT-147]

Why not just one big song:

Album name: Into the Deep Space

Song name: Into the Deep Space (76:34)

       I. Blackness (instrumental)
       II. Fleeting Spheres
       III. The Beauty of Greater Creations
       IV. Unbelievable Forces
       V. We are not alone
       VI. Darkest Star
       VII. Eve (instrumental?)*
       VIII. Omniscience
       IX. The End of Universe

* Well, I know this may be polemic (will it be?).. I just think it would be surprisingly nice if they decided to do a re-version of this theme so loved for many of us (with MM and even JLB collaboration, perhaps with lyrics as well).. The only antecedent I know about this kind of decision is from an Argentinian band called "Los Redondos", with their song "Mariposa Pontiac/Rock del País".. And I think Megadeth did it too... I'm not sure about that.. Anyway, IMO, that would be just pretty damn gorgeous...

PD: A tracklist really easy to remember btw... Just one song.. Though there will be the ones who'll considerer the parts as songs itself, like SDOIT.. But they are not...

PD2: Beyond this experimental concept album (maybe some Planet X sound-ish), I ask for a ten song album.. Could it be they haven't had one yet, when it's almost the most common quantity of tracks within an album? Just saying, I know they're not a "common" band, but, c'mon...

PD3: Yeah, I was a little bit inspired by the DT12 front artwork... And even contemplate the part name "Planet DT" or something like that, but I decided to pondered the end of universe rather than to mention the band name on a concept album.. 'Cause yeah, this would be a concept album, I almost forget to say that...

I'm no good at coming up with song names, but I always enjoy track lengths and the flow/musical concept of an album.

Let's see...

Dream Theater 13

Disc One - 42:43

1 - 13:26    - Epic, progressive, heavy piece to start off the album. A suite of sorts - something like TGP
       i. Overture                       0:00 - 3:32
       ii. Verses                          3:33 - 7:16
       iii. Bridge Verses               7:17 - 9:49
       iv. Sick instrumental sec.   9:50 - 13:26 

2 - 5:14      - Ballad, quiet and less grandiose than usual DT ballads though

3 - 7:08      - Heavy rocker, more in the vein of "6:00" as opposed to, say, "The Mirror"

4 - 6:37      - Dark heavy song, like Fatal Tragedy

5 - 10:18    - Nice progressive emotional track to finish the first disk, something like BTL or TGD


Disc Two - 36:31

6 - 5:52     - Short but dramatic opener for the second disk, the "shit gets real" song, leads straight into...

7 - 6:13     - follow up to the preceding track, sort of like The Mirror -> Lie. Progressive song, maybe like Surrender To Reason

8 - 5:02     - quiet yet serious ballad, something like Lifting Shadows + Solitary Shell. ending note leads into...

9 - 19:24   - the climax of the album, the "epic", the payoff. Multi-parted progressive epic in the vein of DT's usual longer pieces - Rough Timestamps:
         i. Intro                              0:00 - 2:00
         ii. Verses                           2:00 - 6:00 
         iii. Build up verse/bridge     6:00 - 8:00
         iv. sick instrumental sec.2   8:00 - 13:00
         v. break - verse/bridge       13:00 - 15:00
         vi. quiet pretty part             15:00 - 16:00
         vii. reprise/grand finale       16:00 - 19:24


Tracks - 9

Total length - 79:19
