Ooo...That teaser did it's job.

Excited to hear this one. It'd be nice if they re-release Suspended Animation.

What? Huh? No way. JP doesn't make solo records anymore. Surely thou doth jest.

I am hype. God, I've been waiting years for this.

I'm really excited to find out if a JP solo album sounds any different from a DT album nowadays.

Ooh, I'm cautiously excited about this. I never found suspended animation very interesting, but I'm curious to see what he does this time!

If this were 10 years ago I would be SO pumped, but I don't really connect to much of what he writes in DT for the last ....however many albums. So this biggest question will be (as Me7 pointed out) is if his solo album can have a unique voice from his DT writing.

I agree, but at the same time, I don't recall DT ever having stuff that sounded like Tunnel Vision or Wishful Thinking, so if there's anything like Tunnel Vision on this record, I will be a happy Katt.  :biggrin: :corn

Why wouldn't it? Don't forget that he even resurrected Lost Without You for Suspended Animation, and he played that as his solo spot (along with keyboard accompaniment) for DT shows back in 1995. Or am I overlooking something obvious?
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

Well, I never knew that about Lost Without You. "Don't forget" - dude, I didn't even hear about Dream Theater until 2003.  :rollin You'll forgive me for not having encyclopedic knowledge of Dream Theater/JP setlist trivia, Scotty. Furthermore, lots of artists play new material that doesn't necessarily appear on the next album, and Cloud Nine was last played years ago. Wintersun played The Way of the Fire many years ago and it's never been released, for another example. Sooooo....

Well, SA did come out in 2005, after you became a fan, and I know that there had been some discussion over how LWY had been played by JP years before in DT, so I don't think it would be too much of a stretch for expect someone like you to be aware of that tidbit of info. Regarding the other examples you cited, they ain't JP, so they don't really have any bearing on this discussion.

Anyway....... greatly anticipating this record. Let's get a single!!  :corn

It's been a LONG wait since JP first announced he was working on this (around 2010), so I'm ready, just drop it already :metal :metal :metal
It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

Considering how many times new forum members join, here, and in the past MP.com and the Ytsejam mailing list, and then post about how they just became fans, not to mention how active you've been on here and MP.com, I would've expected you would have been on these forums by 2004.  :P

That might be debatable, but whatever. You didn't know. That you've made clear.

15 years though !

Who does he think he is ?

Adam Jones ?  :biggrin: :biggrin:

But imagine if he'd literally kept the best song each year he'd written over the last 15 years aside and the album is those 15 tracks !!!!  :omg:

I mean surely he's written TONS of material in 15 years and kept it aside right ?

1. Lateralus.
2. 10,000 Days.
3. Fear Inoculum.
4. Ænima.
5. Undertow.

Sums it up. It’s very good but not GREAT. Too many recycled riffs. Adams limited range is wearing thin.

There’s a guy on YouTube who does TOOL covers. And you see the same licks again and again and again.

I don't really like anything before Lateralus.

I put on Ænima on a bus ride to work one day and once you realise that nearly the whole album is mono - you get tired of it very quickly.

Seriously why have all guitars bass and vocals in the middle ?!

it's so tiring to listen to.
