After all, JP is a fan of Shakespeare as shown in Pull Me Under, no?

And on where Dt ranks among his favourites bands.
It's just an opinion, and of course a legit and respectable one, but we could have expected not more than this.

All opinions are equal, but in this case I don't think it's very representative or relevant to the average DTF'er, that's all.
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

They need to release some news today, am I right?

No they don't.

It'll happen when it happens, and even then, the album will be in our hands in 18 days anyway.

Why does it matter? All he does is double the guitar parts anyway nowadays. The last album where I actually cared about what Myung was playing was like Train of Thought.  :corn

Judging by The Gift of Music on youtube, I hear the bass well (and this is coming from a guy who usually has a hard time hearing it) so I would guess that he should be fairly audible on the album.

Why does it matter? All he does is double the guitar parts anyway nowadays. The last album where I actually cared about what Myung was playing was like Train of Thought.  :corn

I personnally think that the self-titled was pretty good in term of cool bass parts.

This. The presence of the bass, and not just guitar doubling, brought a big smile back.

I can hear Myung well on TGOM in my car. Much more audible than the youtube stream I had been listening to before I pre-ordered the album.

In "The Gift of Music" during Arhys' vocal part, the first line is "My brother Gabriel..."

Yes, and this doesn't exempt him from having more than one brother

Cool trailer, but the most entertaining part about the trailer is that groovy ass guitar near the end, face it.

Yea....


They should have reallllly gotten Brendon Small to help animate this for them as he does a great job with Metalocalypse (and especially The Doomstar Requiem, which is a rock opera as well).


Having seen this I'm not too hyped for the video/concert story but I am still extremely pumped for what I should be pumped for:  the album/music.

The music sounds amazing. So much so, that I couldn't hear what the guy was saying cause I was too focused on the music.

I'm probably gonna have this on loop all day

Some really awesome audio snippets here and there! Can't wait! I'm super excited  :metal

edit: I just try to ignore the narration and I don't look at the video. I only care for the new music we haven't heard yet, which sounds really cool and right up my alley.
