From The Astonishing I'd like for them to carry the unusual song structures as well. Feel like doing a 2 minutes full song like The Answer? do it for the hell of it, not because the storyline requires a short introductory piece.
An album in the sound of The Gift of Music, Ravenskill, A New Beginning and The Path that Divide ... that would be awesome. Mainly progressive and melodic with interesting song structures and heavy when needed.
It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."
All this talk about the next album is getting me waaaay too excited about it... but then I remember we're more than a year away from it
From a Mega Man Legends island jamming power metal to a Walrus listening to black metal, I like your story arc.
Voted progressive but I consider the albums in the other categories to be progressive too. I get it if they want to go heavier this time, and just hope it'll still be JLB doing all the vocals.
More blastbeat jazz.
I really wouldn't mind another simple drum beat and bass riff a la New Beginning and JP solos over it.

JP hasn't contributed with vocals on the last 3 albums, so I think is pretty safe to say it'll be 100% James on the studio albums.

James' voice was a huge draw for me when I first heard DT and even though his live work can sometimes be shaky, his studio work is still top notch.
I'm mainly concerned about his sound. Astonishing was a step in the right direction, but his drums never sound like an acoustic kit, it always sounds triggered or processed. I know a raw sound doesn't fit DT, but I would love a drum sound like Jeremy Stacey on Steven Wilson's To The Bone.

I know a raw sound doesn't fit DT, but I would love a drum sound like Jeremy Stacey on Steven Wilson's To The Bone.His drums on ADTOE were super raw. To an extreme. They need to find that middle ground. Well mixed and semi-processed without going too far.
probably more like dt self titled.but they always do something special.yea maybe a guest or two.I would like a jazz fusion type track like weather report.an acoustic guitar trio maybe steve morse and al de meola.an acoustic prog epic along the lines of yes.and the epic of all time last track featuring guest appearance by Mikael from opeth doing death growl vocals.well that's what I imagined on my run yesterday.little chance of any of this.

Akerfeldt doesn't even do death growls anymore on his own band's studio albums; I can't see him doing a growling guest spot on another band's record at this point.
Jordan confirms they'll start working on the new album around May or June 2018: https://youtu.be/eMFGkfgPCiU?t=9m52s

I'd absolutely love it if they tapped Nolly to engineer and mix the record. His drum sounds in particular are among the best out there.
What kind of album would you like DT14 to be?A good one.
