Random thoughts about the new album... DT had an instrumental coda on the self titled, and Beneath the Surface as an acoustic song to round off Dramatic. They never did however a mix of those two, a short sung song, along the lines of The Silent Man let's say, to round off the album in an even more minimalistic way than Beneath the Surface. It would be cool to have that.
Also, they are known for the bigass epic that closes the album, but they never really had a centerpiece, a monster song in the middle of the album. Sure, there is Lines in the Sand on FII and Voices on Awake, but they're basically one out of two epics, with the other at the end (almost, in case of Awake). They never really had the clear show stealer of the album in the middle, it could be interesting to have the longest and most acclaimed song of the record being, say, the 5th song out of 10 and outlasting by 4-5 minutes all the others.
