Yeah. Awake to FII was close. But they were touring on Awake, still doing the holiday and Fix for '96 shows, and released ACOS as well.
In this particular cycle, even though we may not have gotten any actual releases, we got lots in the way of opportunities to see the band live. As busy as they have been, it's hard to believe it will be 3 years since the last release.
Things were also very different back in the mid-90s since the internet (as we now know it) was barely in its infancy.
The thing of it is that, for most bands, three years between albums would be really quick. Comparing DT to Rush (which isn't entirely fair given the relative ages of the two bands' members), the last time there was less than three years between Rush albums was between Counterparts and Test for Echo (two years, eleven months), and in the time that DT released everything in its catalog (13 studio albums plus ACoS and 8 live albums), Rush released only 7 studio albums (plus the Feedback EP) and (interestingly, I think) only one fewer live album than DT.
I think it's way too early to have artwork.
Then, I only expect the treasure hunt to reveal the album title, and maybe the tracklist or some other info similar to that. Would love to be proven wrong on this, tho
Or maybe they'll reveal the name of the band!
Dresm Thester!
Those guys ROSK!!!
