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

[evilasiojr]

IM - invisible monster.
Those glasses are the classic presentation of the Invisible Man.

I would say that's correct too.

It seems like there's a story telling here in the song titles, right? Perhaps the whole is based on the tale after all.

[geeeemo]

Where did the icons come from?? Did I miss this in the video? I am pretty lame at this stuff, so I wouldn't be surprised. 

NVM, I just looked at the DTWorld post again....like I said.....

[Lonk]

I like some of the suggestions so far:

TA 09:32: The Alien
ATC 07:35: Answer The Call
IM 06:02: Invisible Monster/Man
SG 10:05: Sleeping Giant (A extended cover of Mastodon's song by the same name)
TT 6:25: Time Travel(er)
ATM 9:47: Alarm The Masses?
AVFTTOTW 20:24: A View from the Top of the World

[The Letter M]

Alright. How can we match these -

My guess
TA- The Alien
ATC- Answer the call. 🤙 looks like answer
IM- Invisible Monster
SG- S is sleeping. I don’t see where they get Giant from. The phrase makes sense though.
TT- Time something. Time Traveler would make sense for the phrase.
ATM- Alarm something. I don’t get the vampire emoji
A View From the Top of the World. Certain on that.

Edit. Just saw The Letter M’s post with Alert the Master. Yeah, that makes sense. I hope it’s not though. That’s a dumb name for a song! 🤣

[Revenge319]

The "ATM" song is actually called "Alert the Master" and it's a sequel to In the Presence of Enemies, in which the Dark Master is alerted about... something. I'm not really sure why he's being alerted. 

[Chino]

Is the name of the album "All Will Be Revealed"? That'd be funny.

I remember thinking some of the song titles on Distance Over Time were weird and unusual for what Dream Theater's song titles are usually like. If these emotes and song title guesses are anything to go by, this album could end up having even weirder names! Not that I consider it a bad thing, it just might take some getting used to them.

Nothing weirder than "Barstool Warrior" imo

Barstool Warrior is the classic title that, in a supposedly leaked tracklist, would make you call bullshit, "no way DT would make a song with that title" 

[devieira73]

ATM - Awake the...
How to concile a siren and a vampire?

[JRuless]

As I said before, from the images it looks like a part of the album is about Tom Thumb & The Sleeping Giant

The sand in the hourglass is rising, so I bet on TT- Time Traveler (there's a man at left)

Here are the direct emoji translations.  Looks like some of them are slightly changed from the originals.  Are emoji sets specific to languages?

1 second of drums

Dream Theater fan: I didn't like it.

 

[CirclesSquared]

1 second of drums

Dream Theater fan: I didn't like it.

 

Some things never change, don't they?

Drums isolated from the rest of the album's audio, even.

[Metro]

TT - Time Traveler or TikTok Tick Tock

ATM - Awaken the Monster

[Mladen]

I absolutely knew we were gonna raise hell over the drum sound in the second long snippet. 

[Another_Won]

Most important: will they sell these red plastic look-through-thingies from the videos? I need one of those.

They are called "View-Master" and the inserts are "reels".  I had one when I was a kid. They were very cool.  I would TOTALLY buy the DT ViewMaster!

6. Alert the Masses - 9:47
7. A View from the Top of the World - 20:24

I think this is the one.  Maybe something different for TT though, someone mentioned "Time Traveler"

[fadetoblackdude7]

I wonder if lyric duties were split up relatively even this time like on DoT or if JP did most of them again?

[emtee]

If the epic is A View From The Top Of The World, I wonder if there will be tie-ins to Pale Blue Dot?

Oh ya, so would I.  Can you imagine the possibilities here? I dare say, it could even be More cool than when I was a kid!

I remember an interview (or short video) very early in the year where Jordan said "the guys are writing lyrics now". I expect to see lyric credits by all the other 4 members, just like last time

[lightbug]

So SG has to be Sleeping Giant after all (the emoji makes no sense). In the first video you can clearly see a giant sleeping:

[Trav86]

So how are you guys coming up with Alert the Masses.
I get the alert. But, how do you get “masses” from the vampire?

I think it was a joke. God, I hope it was. Green font shouldn't be necessary for all jokes. Kinda ruins it actually.

[T-ski]

This may have been answered already, but why is this being promoted on Dream Theater World instead of the official Dream Theater page? I’ve never heard of the Dream Theater World page before.

Seems a bit odd.

[DreamerTV]

Seems a bit odd.

Dream Theater World is the official DT fanclub, which is run by Noxon.
As it happened with DOT, he’s involved in these “Games”, and i guess is mutual interest to give the page a little extra exposure.

[YouMakeMeSick]

Maybe TA is not as literal as the emoji and it stands for “The Abduction” or “The Arrival”, etc… I’m getting super pumped about this album.

All of this + the fact that this way they can tease and reveal stuff to us without making "official" announcements that need to be run by/with the label and their promotion schedule.

The Arrival was a very original movie about aliens and very deep.
