DT #16 Album Contest
« on: February 27, 2024, 08:11:16 AM »
The vast majority here seem to be in various degrees of "super pumped" in anticipation about this first album with MP back. There has been the inevitable fun speculation about epics, single or double album, etc. So this is just a fun idea I had to see who can predict the album particulars the closest. The only thing you win is bragging rights. It has to be done soon before MP drops and hints.

Criteria #1: Number of songs
A lot of folks will nail this one, so at that point we move onto the tie-breakers. 

Tie-breaker #1: Number of song of 10+ minutes

Tie-breaker #2: Length of longest song to the nearest second

Tie-breaker #3: Placement of shortest song (i.e., track #2)

Since it's just for fun, I'll throw my predictions in now to get it rolling:

8 tracks
3 tracks 10+ minutes
longest track 15:33
shortest track is #2

8 tracks
3 songs longer than 10 minutes
17:17 longest song
Shortest track will be the track before the longest song... which will be track 7 according to my crystal balls

2 of them +10 min
Longest 20:00
Shortest is #8, because it's not really a whole 'song', just a small introductory instrumental to the last (epic) song because..

..It is Octavarium pt 2, after all.. ✨✨✨

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.

I don't want MP playing with DT unless they were making a drummer change. If they let MM go and bring back MP, then fine, but no guest appearance please.
