lol

Still, it would be cool to have another acoustic/mostly acoustic song. There weren't any on DT12, unless I'm misremembering?

Not to my recollection.  The only times I recall any acoustic guitar sounds on DT12 were during the beginning verses of Surrender to Reason.

The first verses of The Bigger Picture and Along For the Ride are also acoustic. To an extent.

So the album WILL contain acustic guitars.  ;D

13 in a row! What are the odds? :lol

Hmm, does ToT contain any real acustic guitars? ES intro is acustic but I think it's still his Music Man...

Sounds like the ES and the ITNOG intro is the Music Man.

I like how on the OTBOA intro, he combined it with the acoustic guitars as well.

He has said there are acoustic guitars on every album.

Also, he wouldn't use the Music Man for acoustic in the studio.  He would record an actual acoustic.

He also doubles lots of parts with acoustic, for texture.

Perfect. Fender makes good amps and great basses, but their guitars sound ok at best. Gibson's guitars are much better.

What the hell?  No.  Fender guitars sound great, stop taking crazy pills.

They're ok but aren't really anything to write home about. Most of the good Fender guitars I've heard are so heavily modified that they're barely even fenders anymore.

DT co-writing one song with Derek Sherinian on DT13 would almost certainly produce great results.

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

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.

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

He also doubles lots of parts with acoustic, for texture.

His clean/acoustic lines are one of my favorite things about his style, specifically on WDADU and I&W. It's probably a huge stretch, but I hope there's at least one moment on the new album that invokes the same kind of atmospheric quality as either of those two. I'm not talking about vocals, or even production. I mean the spirit and the passion behind what's being played. It'll probably never be the same again, but one can hope.
