Official album cover :metal
It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

Such a sick cover. Actually kinda reminds me of the artwork for the first Flying Colors album which is cool. Both some of my favorite artwork seen on a DT related project.
Check out my various music projects - I’ve got concept albums, singer/songwriter, rock, metal, prog, and more coming soon:

Really excited to follow this release.  A high school friend's burned copy of Suspended Animation was my first exposure to the world of DT, so I'll be interested in seeing what his approach is 14+ years later.

Btw, am I the only one who is not really blown away by the cover? I don't know, it's just your typical digital/computer stuff. It does look kinda cool yeah, but I feel like that's its only purpose... like the artist thought "I have to make something that looks cool". Also I feel like I have seen this cover three hundred times already. Sorry to be a bummer.

You're not the only one. It's fine for what it is, especially as a companion cover to Suspended Animation.

But the holyshitmygodthatisawesome reaction seems a bit over the top.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

I really like it tbh. If I saw that in the music store and had no idea of who this Petrucci guy is, I would still consider buying it based on the cover.
This first band is Soen very cool swingy jazz fusion kinda stuff.

JP's new album title kind of reminds me of that song by Megadeth called High Speed Dirt.  :lol

I'm not too familiar with how these promotional campaigns work and we don't know if JP is working with a label or not, but I'm really hoping we get something else from the album soon. Some of the things to wait for in the following days/weeks are the tracklist, release date, lineup and first single. I'm ready :metal

 :lol To be fair, Constant Motion was an MP title (he even had a DVD named like that before the song).

haha, The Oddfather :D (thanks for a much-needed laugh JP)
(although having Porty on it is a deal-breaker for me, why not MM? Seriously. As long as he won't ever rejoin DT...And yes, I'm sure quite a few of us here welcome MP's involvement on the album. Carry on then.)

Was never expecting for MP to drum with JP. I'm excited about this but I'm also a little bit disappointed. I thought maybe Thomas Lang or even Marco Minnemann would been good choices. Anyways, really stoked for this solo album! Loved SA.

I'm hoping it's in there but with a different name, same as "Happy Song" which used to be "Cloud Ten".

I don't see why people would have an issue with MP on the album. It kinda makes sense to me.

Just like it would make sense to see MP on a JR solo album.


I think MP fits with the JP's solo style better than MM.
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

My take on this.

I'm happy for MP and JP...

But I can already see all the MP warriors claiming that this means Mangini is getting the boot and MP is 'definitely' back in DT.

But it would be easier to swallow if MP hadn't been such a cry baby in the years following the split. If he was upfront about it and was like " yeah I wanted my cake and to eat it too. My bad "..

Then fair enough.

Do people really have an issue?

And I agree, JP and MP have a chemistry that’s hard to deny. They’ve always seemed like they were cut from the same cloth.

It will be interesting to see how MP sounds on a “modern” Petrucci album. Will the drums sounds be good? How much flair will MP bring to the table? or did Petrucci write most of the drum parts already?

If the drums sound like they did on BC&SL or even Octavarium - people are gonna whinge even more about MMs drum sounds in DT - even though

The Astonishing Drums sounded fine to me and Distance Over Time sounded even better. :dunno:

Maybe, but I took it as a potential positive for another LTE album in the future.  I'm really glad to see this reunion of two fantastic musicians but I DO NOT want MP back in DT.  I really like MM's style and personality.

That's my take as well, this should be a good album and I'm happy to see them play together but I hope MM is the drummer of DT until they decide to call it a day.
