I wonder if "places" will just be tour info. Probably not but who knows.

[hadi-persian]

[BlackInk]

I don't think I have ever had this much fun here.

Well, the tour has already been posted and the tickets are bought so...

I'm pretty sure it will detail places that are relevant to the story.

[fischermasamune]

I dreamed again with the upcoming album. DT was sending some puzzle boxes to people in order to promote the new album. There were supposed to be 4 boxes, each representing a different element (water, fire,...). I only remember getting the first, delivered by some red bird. The puzzle consisted in being able to make a thunder go through water. Other people were getting different puzzles, like creating some kind of vacuum somewhere. And there was that implicit rule that we couldn't use the internet to solve the puzzles.

It's approximately 3:30 pm in my time zone. I've worked 6 days this week, but i appreciate your concern over my employment situation. Good luck with your clock adventures!

I thought about something that could be cool concerning that this morning. I was watching a video of this artist called Anthony Jones who was working on an interactive online gallery where you could walk around and watch his digital sculptures and artworks. So maybe ''places'' could be an interactive section of the website where you can visit locations of the story. We could walk around Nafaryus throne room or Ravenskill's headquarters.

However it seems a bit complex so I doubt it will end up being that. It would be interesting to see though!

[Train of Naught]

Man do I love the clock man! Wouldn't want a DTF without him.

You leave my fabulous hat out of this !!!!!!!!!!!




I do too have a job and since my audio interface stopped working and the weather went to crap -

- I relax by browsing online and playing PS4. x

And then, as the album comes to an end, we find that the clock somehow turns out to be the most important character of the whole ''Astonishing'' story...

Wait it all makes sense now! The hands of a clock move in circle and they end their journey where they began. The clock is the Octavarium!

[Dave_Manchester]

Clock Guy is very obviously a 'normal' person trolling the thread (blatant inconsistencies in his posting style), but to be honest it's very well done, impressive even, and I hope he carries on with it, he's genuinely funny.

[ToT-147]

The expression "Clock Guy" reminded me of this: https://youtu.be/Kz3AbZ630kw?t=2006

[RaiseTheKnife]

Calling it: Tracks 1, 11 and 17 are instrumental because they are identified by a hovering NOMAC next to the title.  Thoughts?

[ToT-147]

Train of Thoughts..

1 Instrumental track: Stream of Consciousness.. Track 6 + 11 minutes = 17..

And that, my friends, is what is truly......Astonishing.

It's simply not enough that you're functionally illiterate, you must also be arrogant and belligerent.

Absolutely no need to be insulting someone just because English isn't their first language. Between this and some other recent posts of yours, you might want to have a read of the forum rules (https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=7.0) regarding being respectful.

About time somebody said something.  Anyone wondering why the vast majority of members are EU/UK/US have their answer right here...

Hey all! long time lurker here, finally signing to the forum

Just wanted to say Im really exited for the album. A bit scary of it being too weird, but DT never failed me before.

I have a small question, Since it is kind of a dream and a life goal for me to see them live, Ive decided I have to see them this tour. That means traveling to EU specifically for this. Now, since Im kinda broke I have to plan this cheaply. Germany seems the perfect location, but currently there are no tour dates for it. Does any of you, who have experience with DT tours, know anything about whether they will arrive to Germany? I have to know because tickets are selling out and I need to book a show.  Any help or advice would be really much appreciated.

So thats it, Im eager to hear this album and start participate in your one of a kind endless forum debates and rankings

[Darkstarshades]

Clock guy should be a new emoticon lol.

Strangely, I agree with him, and somehow think the clock is relevant, but not to the album launch date or whathever.

So, welcome to DTF at first.
Now I have to tell you, anything related to the tour can be seen on this thread: https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=44873.0
There were concerts in Germany announced a few days ago. Funny enough they just disappeared from the band`s website recently what really confuses me since I was, like you, planning to buy tickets for a concert in Germany. So basically, we can just hope and wait for an (re-)announcement.

[AngelBack]

Can I request a thread be started that only chaossystem and clock guy be allowed to post in?  I would pay....

[RMGadelha]

The number of posts is thinning. That means we need another update!

How's the weather? lel

I wouldn't even have a word to describe what that would be like.

[WinterN]

I think that the NOMAC tracks are probably short ambient tracks, maybe with dialogs, sfx or some kind of music.

Since this album is going to be played live, it's reasonable to think that was composed with that in mind. So, the 1st act could be a whole theme, with an intro, and outro and a small break in the middle. I imagine the start of the concert without the band, with some sfx, lasers and maybe an animation of the descent of the nomacs, and them having DT in the stage performing the Overture (2nd track).

Welcome to the forum.....

The tickets for this tour are not cheap.... 2-3 times more than on a normal tour. But it will be a very special event so it will be worth it I think.

I have a question regarding those german dates.
Does any one know if the places they had up for a short while have orchestra pits?
Someone mentioned that all of the booked theaters have pits. If those did not then there is a chance that this would be a reason perhaps.

[jsbru]

this album had SO better not end on a cliffhanger !!!!!

Heh, watch it will and DT14 will be the finale!

DT14: Metropolis Pt. 3 - The Third Is Love

[jsbru]

I wonder why "places" is locked up even though we can see what it says...

Cause they wanna tease us.

This whole thing is a major tease. DT must be having fun

Deep down, we deserve this.

I`m not 100% sure about this one, but I think the hall in Bochum has a pit. I don`t know about the other places though, but nevertheless why did they even appear on the website when they weren`t even planning to play there? I mean, it cannot be that they just realized, two days after the announcement: "Wait a second, the places in Germany we booked do not have a orchestra pit. Well let`s just cancel them again."

I have to admit, I`m a bit angry about that, because I honestly wanted to go to the concert in Bochum and I really don`t get it that they booked the venues just to see that they have no pit and cancel it 2 days after the shows were announced.

I know for a fact that the Amsterdam Carré does not, this is what it looks like from the artists POV:

Neither does Cirkus in Stockholm as far as I know.
