I'm excite.


I wonder if MP was just behind or he/they planned him being late to bump the suspense?
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

 All things considered, this has been an AMAZING year: new LTE announced, Petrucci and Portnoy working together again, new Transatlantic, new DT live album, new Derek Sherinian album, AC/DC coming back...I know, covid sucks and we didn't have concerts for 9/12 of the year, but from a musical standpoint, it wasn't a bad year at all. I'm excited for LTE!!!!

Liquid Tension Experiment 2 is probably in my Top 5 albums of all time and Liquid Tension Experiment 1 isn't far behind. This should be awesome, hopefully!

Bearing in mind that the last time I listened to LTE MP was still part of DT, I can't say that I really care about the project. But....

BTW, it is a nice marketing.  :lol

Trying not to build up unrealistic expectations here... but LTE and LTE2 is what got me into the whole progressive music scene in the first place, I love those albums to death.

Soooo happy right now!!!!  :heart :heart  ;D ;D

Oddly, I'm kind of fired up about this.  I can't say I listen to the first two all that much but given where we are, and all that's happened since they came out, this is something to look forward to.   And I've heard Bart rave about the show a couple times, so it will be one I go see as well, for sure.

I was really excited to hear about MP and JP working together on JPs last album but truthfully I haven’t even bothered to check it out yet. But LTE 3 seems like a more exciting proposition.

exciting news, although it's been 22 years? since they composed anything together which sometimes that long of a break can impact the comparison to the original work.

To this day the 08 show in Downy is the single best show I've seen. While I'm certainly interested in new music, I'm more interested in being able to go somewhere and see them play again. That's one I'd travel to hell to see if it were the only option.

I still kick myself for not going to that show.  The Downey Theatre is less than 13 miles from where I lived at that time.

Not to rub it in, but yeah, you did miss out! Why'd you skip it?
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.

TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

I am sure there will be a few like that, but great melodies are what make the difference. The first two had playing off the charts by all four, but the great melodies throughout were what made the difference.

Never really cared much for LTE other than a cool side project. I didn't even bother to get those albums until, I dunno, 5-6 years ago.

Still, this is cool.

Did not see this one coming at all. I assume it was also written and recorded at DTHQ.

I was never in the "make LTE 3" camp, but now that it's actually happening, I'm for it. Just hope that there's more carefully composed stuff vs the "let's just jam, record it and make a track out of it" approach they used for some of their music.

Anyway, looks like we'll get new DT and LTE in 2021 :tup
It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

Let's just be grateful that we're getting an album. None of us have the right to demand that a particular artist/group does anything, and how that thing should turn out. But now this is happening, I'm really excited for it.

Both MP and JP have now posted the full picture! I love that it's still as weird and low-budget as the pictures/covers for the first two albums  :lol
