Dream Theater: The Astonishing (now with moment of betrayal!)

[RMGadelha]

Of course this is fake, but I really like it... Anyone know what is that?

Siri says it's from Final fantasy 8. Piece is called " Force Your Way ".

Oh no... 

[lucasembarbosa]

This page "CoveSound Glen Cove" shows up with the same fakes EVERY SINGLE DT RELEASE... Sometimes it's a videogame soundtrack or the sound of some demonstration JR did with a new key-dget or the latest patch of Omisphere at NAMM

[TioJorge]

Siri is correct...Nobuo Uematsu came up with that and he is a beautiful mastermind of the musics. That is a remix, though I'm not sure if it's official or fan-made, I'm guessing fan-made.

Here is the original for those interested and liking it. There are a plethora of other amazing tracks through the Final Fantasy games.

ED: Actually, I did recognize it as official, it's Uematsu's prog-rock oriented band called The Black Mages playing it. (Towards the end of the song is where the snippit from the douchebag posted it)

I love rock/metal remixes of video game tracks... So epic..

It looks like I was sorta on the right track with my vague theory. As the Chosen One, Gabriel will almost certainly be responsible for some big decisions related to the conflict between the Empire and the Rebels. As the brother of Arhys, he will likely have plenty of influence on him.

The seed of curiosity continues to grow.

I'm 100% sure that I won't understand anything of the story the first time that I listen to the album. I'll be paying so much attention to the music that I will forget to actually listen to every word that James will be singing, lol.

I'm in your camp.... Lol

[Thematt202]

The Path Devides will clearly be the first single.  I'm pretty sure that's what they've been teasing all this time...

[Kotowboy]

Pretty sure there is actually a passage in a DT song that sounds like the beach landing from FF8

This. Will mainly focus on the music the first time, after all, that's what forms my first impression with every other band aswell.

[Kotowboy]

How do Mods feel about us posting links to youtube clips that are *clearly* fakes and we post them as such ?

I think it's funny hearing what people post on YT with comments neatly disabled - and pass off as new DT.

Wasn't it Bridges in the Sky?

Yeah that section after the first "Shaman take my hand" is pure Final Fantasy.

Indeed. if the music and production is A+ then I probably won't give a crap about the lyrics.

More speculation, but as I'm looking at their pictures, I actually reckon that Nafaryus might be Arhys' father. They certainly share some facial similarities.

That's actually been discussed before on this thread, definitely some similarities there . . . would be a plot twist for sure!

Shurely you can't be Sherious ? !

[RoeDent]

With what little information we have, it's not out of the realms of possibility yet. Son, possibly even heir to the Empire's throne, realises there is a better life away from the tyranny and forms a rebellion.

I agree with him. They both have two eyes, a nose and a mouth. They also both have hair too. Arhys is even trying to grow a beard like Nafaryus. That can't be a coincidence! I do see what RoeDent means though. We'll see if it turns out to be true.

I was referring more to the fact that Nafaryus looks like Sean Connery.

For future reference, I recommend going to the "What we know so far" thread, this one's 90% bogus, 9% educated guesses and 1% clock theories. Unless you, like me, enjoy whacky conversations. Anyways welcome to DTF!

Speaking of which, where is Clock Guy? It's been a while since I last saw him.

Yeah, I miss clock guy. It was becoming routine for me and my friend to read his new posts every morning.

[Bertielee]

Kotowboy, I'm shitting here on a rock!

Thish ijn't even poshible!

[Train of Naught]

Guys, just thought of something:

Heaven's Cove, from the 2nd act is an instrumental piece.

Heaven's Cove

Hell's Kitchen


Hell's Kitchen is the neighborhood of Avatar Studios, where DT recorded FII

Cove --> Cove City Sound Studios, Glen Cove, where DT recorded the last albums including TA


I really wish they put in it the new intro they created to Trial of Tears while on the last tour...

[Pragmaticcircus]

Great news everybody, but when do we suspect a single will be released? (if they do....)

[RoeDent]

I call January 1st. Start the year of release on a high, and a few weeks of promo before the album release.

[RMGadelha]

Something before january is my bet, lol.
