The press release stated that the band doesn't consider TGOM to be a single. Given the two video placeholders, we could get two full fledged singles with music videos before release (or two behind the scenes videos).
Either way, the band thought it important to state that TGOM is not a single.
What press release??

This might be old news, but did anyone notice two of the three NOMAC red "eyes" are lit now? And they are clickable buttons? One eye to go...

They've been lit and clickable the whole time. I've tried to click those dang buttons every single time there's an update, but no dice yet! :lol

Those two eyes have been lit up, and clickable since October 23rd when the Empire vs Ravenskill thing went live on DT's website. The NOMAC was on the thank you page.

Very interesting considering the current marketing for the album has been almost cloak and dagger.

Color me interested. Here's waiting for the 11am (my time) announcement!

Whenever an artist announces big news - it's nearly always tour dates.

As someone who goes to like 1 gig every 5 years - they may as well be announcing a new shot glass in the merch store or something.

Not sure what else it could be seeing as almost all the album info is now known.

I'll be getting ready to watch The Force Awakens by then. I don't think they ever announced album details or singles live before, did they? I'm betting they are announcing more tour dates or some gigs in places they never played before...

Or a broadway show, lol.

The announcement will be made at 1 pm Eastern by Jordan Rudess, apparently by video on Facebook.

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

OR they've got a choir and orchestra on tour with them or Portnoy was the album's co-producer.




but mostly tour dates.

Yeah. All I can guess is JR going on camera saying stuff like: "We will be playing for the first time in *insertname*" and not "we have a new song planned for *insertdate*.

That's so they can give you a reminder mail for the livestream, the city information is needed for your timezone.

LOVE tour announcements the week before Christmas!!!

Hopefully I'll have some cash when they actually go on sale.
I don't want MP playing with DT unless they were making a drummer change. If they let MM go and bring back MP, then fine, but no guest appearance please.

Yes! They skipped Florida last time after an amazing show for the ADTOE tour. I've already decide, if they announce they will play TA in its entirety in NA, I'm finding a way to see it.
