I prefer to think of virtuosity as being bound by talentlessness.

I remember back in 2011 someone did some detective work based on DT's studio photos and tweets and found out which studio they were recording at - that was pretty awesome! :D

And we can't figure out why they don't release more in-studio info.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Depends on how quickly they move through writing and recording.  If they absolutely flew through it, it would be kind of cool to just get the news that they are done, and it will be out soon.

Yeah, but there's no way they'd wait all the way until release day to mention a) that an album is coming b) what the title is and c) what the artwork looks like. That's essential to any artist of Dream Theater's level of popularity, especially because they probably make more on physical sales compared to digital sales than the average artist.

Personally, I think it would be better if they don't 'fly thorough' the writing and recording.  IMHO that's what a lot of their albums end up sounding like - jam, record it, jam, record it, mix it together into a song - repeat.  I haven't felt like an album was really 'crafted' since 6DOIT, although I did enjoy the last two albums more than the four that preceeded them.

Yeah I remember that too! Creepy DT fans who stalk studio and find out midi from a blurry image! :D
Making that midi was a blast! Being able to gradually piece together music note by note in this unique fashion was an experience I'll never forget, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat for the fans. Also, that wasn't the only thing I recreated from those studio session videos...
