I'm hoping for a full on concept album, 70 minutes with a full orchestra, mind-blowing thought

I'm hoping for an album where they don't focus that much on what they want to write or want to create and instead just start playing/jamming and draw their inspiration from that. DT12 felt very... calculated to me.

I'm also hoping for a sonically better album than DT12. The times that I actually do listen to it, I listen to the HDTracks Version, which sounds ok. I hate the CD master.

I'm hoping for something like this:

1- Trial of tears
2- Breaking all illusions
3- Wait for sleep
4- Learning to live
5- Metropolis pt. 1
6- A change of seasons

Just sayin'...

Yeah, I have no idea what the cakeless person in that analogy is meant to be eating. If he's got some sort of cake substitute, it should really have been worked into the narrative at some point. As it stands, the options are:

  • Hoard a cake just to stare blankly into its doughy edifice.
  • Make futile chewing motions with your mouth while starving to death.

And as I normally never give away song descriptions, titles, lengths, etc....I will say just this:

Imagine a DT album with A Change Of Seasons, Octavarium, Learning To Live, Pull Me Under and The Glass Prison....all on one album....

I remember this clearly. MP really hyped that album. The expectation level was so high that it was very difficult to live up to the billing. I like the production on the album, and the combo of ANTR/ACOT is terrific, but it doesn't come close to the impact that those five songs have.

Oh. Well basically, on his FB page I posted "Mangini, I love you man, I really do, but your snare sound is just so..."
And he replied "Changed. :)"

Pretty sure that means they changed his snare sound for this record. hahaha.

And this might be an example where the bitching helped Mangini.  Perhaps he was already having this conversation the previous albums and getting vetoed.  DT and the people in the studio see the bad fan response and give in saying "ok, Mike.  Let's try it the way you've been talking about."

Who knows?  The point is simply that not all bitching is done with vindictive intent.

I'll believe it when I hear it tbh. DT12 was supposed to have chocolate cake guitars and MM unleashed, neither of which really happened.

...and, of course, the dynamics on a couple of recent albums were supposed to have been better. 'Better' is relative so in that regard it could be said they were indeed 'better' but the dynamics on the standard releases have been sorely lacking.

I agree with you regarding MM, and perhaps I'm not that educated on toooone, but JP's guitars sure sounded thick and cakey to me. Is there a better example of chocolate cake guitars that you know of? I would love to listen to it  :metal

For example his SFAM tone I would classify as much more chocolate cake. I mean, it's not terrible on DT12 by any means (LALP has an awful guitar tone), but just not really wowing in any sense.

I really enjoyed JP's tone in DT12, but it doesn't sound the same he used in BTFW. It sounds way more dirty, and not as clear as in DT12, although I liked it too.
But speaking of MM's tooooone, the one he used in BTFW is way better than DT12. I don't know if it's just a matter of production, but the tone itself sounded way better in the live record. Let's wait to see what will change this time around.
