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

[ResultsMayVary]

If they wrote the album with the idea of making it double, then it must be a first in DT history.
As far as I know, before DT12, they had never planned album lenghts, they just worked until they could do no more. On DT12 they made it (relatively) short on purpose, so I can assume that they aimed at making this huge double-cd opus. With this, we can get to the conclusion that Act I and II indeed represent CD1  and CD2 respectively (The presence of Overtures on each of them confirm this).

I think once they realized the story wouldn't fit within a single CD, then they knew the double CD would have to get the job done.

I'd say he's a big deal.

[thosava]

Thats just incredible. And he definatley said The Astonishing was the biggest thing he had ever done (according to JP).

[Gonz]

Nice to see a 7 minutes track in the album. I didn't expect any longer track but

A simple yes would have suffice

Please note that I didnt tried to suggest he isnt a big deal, just wanted to know if you knew him, as I consider many of this forum to a much more varied music knowledge than myself. Thats why I didnt bother to Wiki him, sometimes "from mouth to ear" (err my english is lagging ) is the best way to know a man status.

A simple yes wouldn't have told you just HOW big a deal it is that David Campbell has worked with DT.

[RaasMah]

I see, I am now even more exited

[jayvee3]

I'm not sure if I should laugh or be slightly disturbed by this thread

Why not both? 

[Darkstarshades]

This thread is the pinnacle of human evolution.

[RMGadelha]

DT should write a concept album about DTF's "we can't wait for the new album" threads.

[SystematicThought]

Seems like Campbell's entire 2015 was dedicated to DT. Not surprising considering how complex it all seems.

I'm looking forward to hearing The Answer, since JP said it's one that Campbell really took and fleshed out.

"Overall, his work appears on more than 425 gold or platinum albums. During his long recording career, albums on which he worked have received 50 Grammys, and his film work has earned two Oscars for music."

Only 32 days left until we all can hear the Astonishing...  can't wait

[TH1RT3EN]

Alright, Faythe has finally been revealed… and she's with the Empire!

[BlackInk]

And pink hair, unexpected. Now I know I will hate the album.

[TH1RT3EN]

By the way, that leaves the clock character as the only one not revealed yet. I don't even remember why you guys are so thrilled about him/her and, at this point, I'm too afraid to ask.

[Train of Naught]

Wow, cool! That indeed leaves clock guy for last.

I think this is the first time they revealed a character/songs/map parts in the morning (in my timezone), it was usually about 9 hours from now.

[Darkstarshades]

Clock guy is Mike Portnoy

[Darkstarshades]

Wait... are these... earphones?

[Vandalism]

I thought it was a joke post at first. The textures/lighting isn't as good as what the other models have.

[mikemangioy]

Faythe is actually Dove Cameron playing  Maleficent's daughter in the newest crappy Disney movie.

[Vandalism]

Wait... are these... earphones?

Yea! Maybe they're worth a fortune in the Dystopian Future! She buys them and listens to ancient music i.e. I&W and SFAM and turns on the Empire!

[mikemangioy]

So, so far we have:

A Knight of The Zodiac
Emperor Sean Connery
JP 2003
Dove Cameron
Jaime Lannister
The Childlike Empress from The Neverending Story
and female John Myung.

[Train of Naught]

Oh, this means that Clock Guy will probably be a Ravenskill Rebel, awesome! I thought for sure Faythe would be with the rebels.

[Darkstarshades]

All of them, except for the Knight of the Zodiac, why, lol?

[BlobVanDam]

Is she wearing headphones? Interesting.

[mikemangioy]

All of them, except for the Knight of the Zodiac, why, lol?

I don't know, Gabriel insanely reminds me of some anime character and I can't pinpoint which.
