DT15: A View From The Top Of The World (Timeline for DT15)

[gzarruk]

Forgot to mention in my other post, but I'm still expecting this album to come with some sort of bonus material disc. This is such a big release for the label (as was LTE3 to some degree) that they might want to offer as many special versions of the album as they can. This is also something IO does a lot too.

it's DT, they fully deserve the royal treatment and they got it with D/T (and I'd be very surprised if DT15 will not get it. Besides, we know that there will be the making of documentary on the Bluray). They are IO's biggest act on the label after all (and the biggest prog band in the world too IMHO) No need to worry there.

They're waiting for George RR Martin to finish the accompanying novel for the album. He's promised to have it done by August.

[dream75]

Noxon has confirmed on the DT Discord that we won't be getting anything regarding DT15 until August. Not too far away now.

You might be joking, or might not be, but a few weeks ago I asked MM on Facebook about when we would get updates on DT15. This is what he said:

I think we basically just wait until the fall. I'm sure the label will release tidbits and things. It's a strong album. I like it. We really put our souls into every note; lots or a little; frantic or spacious. We'll see. Hopefully it is welcomed.

I just had completely lost not forgotten about that reply from him untill now.

I was only speculating on why the band was not going to put out ANY info on the album or release a single until August, not why release dates will be what they are or anything related to tour scheduling either.

[Kotowboy]

MM reminds me of Rob Trujillo sometimes in the way they tell you about the next album by telling you absolutely nothing about the next album.

It's a lot of waffle about blueprints and feeling good and energy and vibe and feeling good. And absolutely zip about the actual music.

I just read a Corey taylor interview about the next SlipKnot and it's what really annoys me about American musicians.

It's all " We're in a new zone. Its a vibe. We're creating and we're going outside of ourselves and we're in there and kicking stuff around. "

It means absolutely nothing.

What do you want them to say? It’s too early for them to give any real details. They have an entire promotion strategy lined up over the course of the next few months. They can’t give any info about the songs or album. Like, seriously what are they suppose to say right now?

Perhaps they should talk about it by humming a few of their favourite passages, or listing off some time signatures they've used.

Nothing, I have no idea what the problem is.

[RoeDent]

So if we're not getting anything at all until August, that'll push the expected album release to October at the earliest. IO need time to release half the album as singles beforehand.

Does anybody know what session is Mike M working on? Would this be for his solo album?

I would guess so. (can't be DT15 obviously.)

Taylor Larson's studio - https://www.instagram.com/p/CPi9I0An72l/. I remember Mike saying he was doing or had done something for a country type thing but I don't think it's this.

[Max Kuehnau]

Ok bruvs, mastering for DT15 has been initiated.

Nice find! I also remember he said he was going to record a couple tracks for a country artist, but I doubt he'd bring the full kit for just a country session, right? (well, maybe he did! )

And I thought the album had already been finished for a while. Isn't it strange that it was mixed in April but it's just being mastered now?

I believe the final mix started being worked on in April, though rough mixes went on throughout the recording process.

Exactly.

Wonder who is mixing the album. I really dug Fates Warning's mix with Joe Baressi on their last album. And now that I think about it, Fates has really gotten pretty good sounding records. I can't think of any that sound bad.

For all we know as of now, Andy Sneap mixed it. (he mixed Terminal Velocity too and is otherwise known for working with Saxon and Judas Priest.)

I hope so. TV sounded awesome. LTE3 was mixed by Rich Mouser and love that production as well.

[Mladen]

Someone posted a while back that Biff Byford of Saxon mentioned in an interview that Andy Sneap is working with Dream Theater. He wasn't sure, though. But if it is Andy, color me excited. Some of his work is tremendous.

[Cool Chris]

Biff Byford sounds like a jobber from 1990s WWF.

"Hopefully it is welcomed" doesn't sound like the superlatives we were getting a couple of months ago 

[evilasiojr]

MM has always been more humble about the album, if I recall correctly. I think it's part of his self defense system  Jordan was the one using some more excited words.

Jordan, JP and James were the ones really hyping it. MM talked about energy, soul, songs being lenghty and frantic. JM used no words so far

Maybe there is a bass part where he plays a chapman stick?
