Well, to be honest I don't think you can expect one from me this time around. There's something else that consumes all my free time at the moment, so I just don't have the time for music anymore.

People in Tuscany are never going to lure you into their wine cellars and drown you in wine barrels, you know.
Or that’s what they’ll make you think.

A Dream Theater album is never late. Nor is it early.
It arrives precisely when it's meant to.

Ok so I leave the forum for a week and there are already 30+ more pages of speculation?  :rollin

About 10 of those were reaction to The Gift of Music in the 24 hours or so after its release.

Also, if the release date is delayed, then :soon:, RS and everyone else has a lot to answer for.

Hopefully we will get a new character from the Empire today, if any.

Perhaps.
Early release?
No.

EDIT:  I mean, seriously, that doesn't happen in the music industry.  Sorry, not an option.

It does occasionally when albums get leaked. Eg. Bjork's Vulnicura. A few others have also dropped in early as a response to leaks.
True, and good point.  I stand corrected.

There's also the possibility of a promotional stream a week or so before release.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Of our own madeup timespan of when character updates are released xD Yes, I admit it's madeup or at least fool's hope, but it's fun!

What timespan is that? I've heard some people say "friday", which is far from over. Especially in America.

It was monday and thursday and sometimes friday, and the updates were usually between 1 pm EST and 5, 6 PM EST. But it's getting random sometimes. Hey, I'm not saying they promised us anything, perhaps some of us are just overanalyzing those updates. It's just anxiety kicking in :)

Looking at the shaded pic, char8 is most likely a bald dude with headphones on.
people on this board are actual music fans who developed taste in music and not casual listeners who are following current fashion trends and listening to only current commercial hits.
