DoT probably has more radio friendly songs than most DT albums or maybe any of them for that matter. I realize DT gets a lot of internet radio play but what about local radio stations? I never listen to the radio, so does anyone know if some of the new songs are getting radio play at all?
Not around here (Seattle/Pacific Northwest area). I haven't heart DT on the radio since 1993, which is a bummer since they have quite a few radio friendly songs since then.
I don't know if the label has much clout with mainstream radio since they mostly focus on prog/metal music. I wish insideoutmusic would push harder to get Distance Over Time on some hard rock stations around the country, but like I said I doubt they have enough clout to do so.
It seems an absolute crime that songs from this album (d/t) aren't getting airplay, Dream Theater deserves better than that! I know they would have a bigger following here in the states if they did. Plus they would sell out bigger venues.
It all has to do with contracts between radio stations and mainstream record companies.
