I love DT long songs and I hope there will be at least 3-4 longer than 8 minutes but in the last 2 albums only IT has exceeded this length ...

I voted 1 given that we probably have 10 songs or so on the album...

The "Kevin Moore" option is conspicuously lacking from this poll.

Future polls:

How Many Songs Will Have "The" in the Title?

How Many Songs Will Have Run Times Ending in "0" or "5"?

Ratio of Fiction to Non-Fiction Songs?

I went with 4, based on nothing but gut feeling.

Anyway, here's some data:
WDADU - 2/8
I&W - 4/8
Awake - 2/11
FII - 3/11
SFAM - 3/12
SDOIT - 5/6 or 4/13
TOT - 5/7
OCT - 4/8
SC - 5/8
BC&SL - 5/6
ADTOE - 5/9
DT12 - 1/9
TA  - 0/34

Fixed.

Also, I vote for 2.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

In the end I think the songs over 8 minutes will be 2 and this is my prediction of durations:

1. Untethered Angel      4-6
2. Paralyzed                 5-7
3. Fall into the Light      5-7
4. Barstool Warrior        3-5
5. Room 137                5-7             
6. S2N                         5-7
7. At Wit's End              10
8. Out of Reach             3-5
9. Pale Blue Dot            9-11
10. Viper King                4

This could be right... But maybe S2N is just a shorter interlude ;)

Since I never voted, I cheated and voted now with the most likely correct answer, 2  ;D

Well, Images and Words and Awake had both 2 songs over the 8 minutes and while of course it doesn't really mean anything, I hope it's a good omen for Distance over Time!  :metal

That should be, like, DT 101  :blush well, Pull Me Under ends abruptly so it's disqualified.

Any takers on a bet that if there's an instrumental on this Record it's Room 137?

Now that we've got the tracklisting, it's quite surprising. The only other album in this length-rate is WDADU...... :o

My guess on an instrumental would be S2N, which I'm guessing stands for soup to nuts.

There will be no instrumentals on the album, according to JR.
