Dream Theater entered the studio in February v. No News is Good News

[jammindude]

Corporate product isn't quite the right terminology.    I think what you're getting at is that they are breaking the rut.   ....and I agree. 

[Kotowboy]

If it takes them a bit longer and we get another Six Degrees or Scenes From A Memory - then i'm all for it.

[Kotowboy]

...and it'll *still* be out before the next Metallica album.

making a grand total of FOUR original studio albums from Dream Theater since Death Magnetic. 









...and before anyone says " Quality not quantity " - may I remind you ....


... DEATH MAGNETIC.

Hey here's an idea.

How about you stop bringing up the fact that Metallica and Tool are taking a long time between albums in about every other topic that somehow deals with release dates.

[BlobVanDam]

THANK YOU

[hefdaddy42]

Still no new release by Tool or Metallica

The quality not quantity argument doesn't work not because Death Magnetic sucks (it kicks ass besides the production) but because the past three DT albums are all amazing (as are all of the rest of their albums).

I imagine the glorious day they'll be out, it will be on a combo pack along with Half-Life 3, and The Last Guardian.

[Plasmastrike]

We get it. Metallica is a big band and they take a long time between albums.

Mozart still hasn't finished his Mess in C Minor

And Schubert's 8th Symphony is still Unfinished. In your own time, Schube !!!

Any word on the new Metallica?  What about Tool?   It's been years. 

[Kotowboy]

Metallica?  Tools?

Pretty much.

[Edergilmour]

Sooo, about the new album. Since Jordan said that he plans to take the seaboard to the studio "pretty soon" and add it to the recording.

Now we can assume that the keys aren't recorded yet (or at least not completely done).

I'm starting to feel like something really special is coming. I might be wrong but that's a very different approach from what we are accustomed to.

Yeah, but one is on the way.

Not feeling optimistic.

Would love to hear something form a more credible source (no offense to a few words posted on a forum) about a release date. Would love to see something in 2015, which would be totally possible if they finished the album prior to their show obligations starting in July.

Their obligations start in exactly 4 weeks from today, 25th of June in Minsk, Belarus (apologies before I mentioned Poland but that's only 2 days later). So what can they do in 4 weeks, including planning tour setlist and do sone rehearsal? Not much, I think... Yeah, maybe some seabording here and there, fine tuning of minor details - but then they won't have a chance to add anything or mix stuff etc until August... Tour ends August 2 in Finland.

So do you guys think they will be ready to debut a new song this summer live?  I would guess not if the album release isn't close enough for them to start promoting it.

No, I do not.  Doubtful that they've had enough time to complete the full writing, recording and mixing process for any of the new material.  And even if they have a completed song, I don't think they want to premiere new material in a live setting in the digital age, given that people will make poor quality videos and the song's initial exposure will be out of their control.

Long not played track >>> New song (Let's suppose seven minutes)

[Lucien]

Long not played track >>> New song (Let's suppose seven minutes)

I disagree.

[CharlesPL]

If I had to choose LFAGA or New Track , I take song from WDADU

[RaiseTheKnife]

Long not played track >>> New song (Let's suppose seven minutes)

I agree.  I think.  Do you mean a track not played in a long time?  Or a track that has a long running time?

[CharlesPL]

Do you mean a track not played in a long time?

+1

Here's my proposal set from Metropolis forum (older than DTF:P) :

7.This Dying Soul
8.Wither

10.This Is the Life
11.Anna Lee
12.Octavarium
13.Another Hand/The Killing Hand

Encore:

14.A Change of Seasons

A little too long.

1st Belarus now, im going on 4 DT shows on this summer, in polish magazine JP said that the album will be next year...

I'm still really interested in this. Thanks for providing the magazine, CharlesPL - I don't speak Polish, but I went on the website and searched "Dream Theater" and the latest article is this:

https://www.terazrock.pl/aktualnosci/czytaj/Muzycy-Dream-Theater-zapraszaja-na-koncert-w-Polsce.html

Google Translate doesn't have anything to say about 2016. Earlier articles this year that the magazine wrote up reference 2016 only in terms of a world tour (again, according to Google Translate). I presume the article about Dream Theater isn't online yet...

If the article within the magazine says that an album release date is in 2016, then we've at least got a piece of big news.

[emtee]

2016? Wonder if that is accurate.

[rumborak]

I think I will wait for secondary confirmation on this one. Right now there's an absolute dearth of information coming from DT; I wouldn't be surprised at all if a magazine "extrapolated" a bit to write an article.
