The Letter M

Quote from: Stadler on February 09, 2024, 12:04:52 PM
At least we know the black jeans and black t-shirts of the last couple years weren't Mangini's fault. ;)


In all seriousness, though, that's a thing of beauty.  James looks good there, and John M. is smiling, so all is well so far!!!

Next album title:

Black Clothes & Silver Locks

For years I doubted this would ever happen and had accepted that reality so that picture is really impactful.

Hah, I was thinking Black Beards and Silver Linings, but Silver Locks is good.

Maybe a lo-fi direction with this as album cover?  :P
Dear lord I hope not. PoS did that with the Road Salt albums and I lost complete interest in them.
You lost interest in a band over an album cover?
Take a look at the bolded type - I lost interest in PoS because of the lo-fi direction they went in.


Ooooh.  I thought the "lo-fi" referred to the art itself. 

DoctorAction

Great pic!

I would be beyond delighted with a lo-fi approach from DT. Musicians of the calibre of our dudes don't need the polish to shine.

HOF

I don't know about lo-fi, but I'd be happy if the new album doesn't have that plastic, compressed production that most modern metal albums have.

Good shit.  Looks like they all had a very plentiful Christmas also!!  :metal

I have to admit, seeing that photo made me FAR more emotional than I thought it would.

The Letter M

Anyone else notice they're positioned as they usually are on stage, with Myung on the far left, Jordan closest to Mike, James near the middle, and Petrucci on the right?

I wonder if that was planned or coincidental?  :lol

Good spot. I think it was planned that way.

Sweetwater, what a great company.  Their employees are the bomb!  (Making a joke about the watermark, but not about the employees.  Aaron is the best!)

Sweetwater is the only place I'll order gear from besides my local music store. The best customer service in the business.

I'm catching up so sorry for bringing this post up from 2 pages ago but Sweetwater is indeed the shit. I just got a plek'd martin from them and it's incredible.

Dumb question I'm sure everyone else knows, but does DT's studio have accommodations for everyone so they can just essentially live there while recording, or do they have to commute or stay in hotels?

I don't think anyone knows. They did mention that they had plans to expand the studio, but never said anything about accommodations, and from the video that they shared of the DTHQ a while back, it doesn't look like they had anything of the sort then. So I would imagine they're commuting and/or staying in hotels.
Quote from: BlobVanDam on November 13, 2015, 07:37:14 PMAs 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.

Ah, that's too bad. At the least they could have shoved some bunk beds in a corner of the studio somewhere (maybe lofted over the amps!).

IIRC, Mangini actually stayed there during the writing process for A View.

What is considered an average amount of time working on a studio album for DT? I know 2 weeks is on the short end. What is on the long end?

That's a good question. I always assumed it took them about a month to put things together (maybe a month is too long). I wonder what the longest they've spent in the studio is.

IIRC, the longest amount of time was 8 to 9 months for The Astonishing, followed by 6 months for View. Dramatic Turn and DT12 were written and recorded in 5 months each. D/T was written in 18 days and recorded in 3 months in total. (this is all the MM era numbers here). The average time for MP era DT is around 3 months, yes. (barring 6D, which took about 5-6 months to write and record) That's all I can remember right now.
All my natural instincts are begging me to stop
But somehow I carry on, heading for the top

The better question is, if they're in the studio now, writing and eventually recording, what are the odds that the album will come out before the end of 2024? Or will is be a 2025 release to coincide with the band's 40th anniversary?

I think we'll get it this year. My guess is October or November.

That picture should be the album cover, with the title of Majesty.
