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

[DoctorAction]

That's not a Fast Times avatar!

It's the April 1987 Metal Hammer cover with Helloween's Michael Kiske and Kai Hansen on the cover.

Oh my god, I had that issue!

That issue changed my musical life forever.

I have really strong memories of it. Must have been about my first one. Also had an issue of Mega Metal Kerrang some the time that made a big Impression too.

We used to get the Kerrang around here periodically. I think when I saw this Metal Hammer issue at a friend's house, it was the first time I'd seen one.

In college, I found a place in Providence that sold both regularly.

Well...how 'bout that?

Wait..you're a Keepers fan. D'uh. If I remembered that when I posted it would've been way more snarky.

I mean...I'm a Keepers fan with bad eyes and without my reading glasses, and who didn't exactly pause to study it.  And, even if I hadn't thought it was Spicoli, I wouldn't have recognized them without enlarging the picture quite a lot.  But I'll take all the snark I'm due.

Your snark can be found in the Appetite thread.

When do you think we could get an announcement of the album title, tracklist, artwork etc?

[DreamerTV]

When do you think we could get an announcement of the album title, tracklist, artwork etc?

Well, we had 3 video clues in 7 days covering the catalog up to SC, from 10.07 to 17.07.
With 5 albums left, we can expect two more videos, and following the path both of those should be published by this week.
Can we expect the album title tracklist and artwork by the end of this little game? I guess so, so i would say that maybe next week, if not some days earlier, could be the right time. 

[IDontNotDoThings]

Following the pattern so far, I think it's safe to assume we'll get a snippet of the cover at the end of the fifth video. Perhaps we could even get the whole cover, in which case we'd probably be able to see the title.

[the_silent_man]

One thing I've noticed. People say we've seen the cover with that boulder stuck on the cliff that seems to have the DT font at the top of the image.
It looks as if there's another image that has the DT logo/text. The one with the sky and metal viewfinder? On the last 2 videos. Or are my eyes decieving me?

I saw that too (as others - It think it has been commented here). So I think we still don't have a "proof" of the actual cover.

[gzarruk]

I don't know if I'm thinking too much, but I'll say it anyway: I had the impression that the videos have been released in intervals around 80 hours from each other, which it could already indicate the total time of the album, if we consider that the hours represents minutes (kind of what Captain Kirk did on Wrath of Khan ). If this is correct, the next video will be released not on monday, but on tuesday and the last, on friday.

If this theory ends up being tue, then by this friday we should have, at least, a small taste of the new cover + the whole tracklist in abbreviations. I'd say we get some audio snippets next week and the full announcement + possible first single the fist few days of August.

[devieira73]

After I made that post, I checked when the videos were uploaded on DT world's Facebook and, although indeed  it had a bit more than 72h between them, it wasn't the same time interval. So I guess it was just a casual delay in the next video that they are releasinga at 3 days period. I think we'll have another one today.

Assuming that the last slide with the initials hints at new songs, it's time to start guessing song titles:

... continued from above:

TA = Troll Arithmetic 09:32
ATC = Agitated Tentacle Clowns 07:35
IM = Incontinent Manatee 06:02
SG = Squid Gymnastics 10:05
TT = Them Titties 6:25
ATM = About That Mold... 9:47

I can already tell it's going to be an album full of deep and personal lyrics.

"Against The Mold" actually sounds like a title they'd use.

Longer songs this time around, it seems...

TT = Them Titties 6:25

Lyrics by Myung.

[Revenge319]

The new song titles are just reused from past song/album titles with slight modifications.     

TA: The Astonishing
ATC: About To Crash
IM: Iew Millennium
SG: Status Geeker
TT: Train Thought
ATM: About To Mrash

[Enigmachine]

I'll take a guess and see how close I get:

1. The Artisan 9:32
2. Along the Crevices 7:35
3. In Memory 6:02
4. Solar Glare 10:05
5. Transparent Tears 6:25
6. At This Monument 9:47

Quite possibly, would make for a similarly, uhm, touching spiritual successor to Learning to Live.

Maybe they'll skip the new video for today (it's already Tuesday in Portugal) and present the two remaining videos Wednesday and Friday with the fifth video - revealing the album title, cover, tracklist, etc. Just a hunch.

[Ben_Jamin]

I'll give a stab at it

TA= Theoretical Analysis
ATC= Antagonize The Chaos
IM= Immobilized Manipulation
SG= Secret Garden
TT= Tantalizing Theatrics
ATM= Absolute Time Machine

[Setlist Scotty]

noxon had shared these with me in confidence, but I never promised that I wouldn't share them with others, so here are the song titles:

TA= Theoretical Abacus
ATC= Apocryphal Tortilla Control
IM= Insidious Mouton
SG= Septic Guacamole
TT= Tyrannical Trousers
ATM= Ancillary Toad Mechanics

TT= Tantalizing Theatrics

I like these fancy song titles. If SG ends up being called Secret Garden, my excitement for this album will greatly increase.

Interesting decision on their part to release Part 3 of The Astonishing before Part 2, "The Astonishinger"!

[RodrigoAltaf]

IM = Illumination Metropolis.

Two epics colliding into one.

[geeeemo]

TA - The Abdication
ATC - A Tough Circumstance
IM - I M
SG - Showing Grace
TT - Trial Time
ATM - After the Madness

Ever since I saw SG, I instantly thought of Secret Garden, I don't know why.

Funny thing is I had a good one for TT, related to a word used in the lyrics of a song, but I completely forgot it and can not remember what it is. So I just came up with those.


Edit: I just remembered what it was 

TT = Tripping Through ( )
