 The eleventh DT album with MP, so.....eleven songs (or eleven total titles and subtitles)

Two songs over eleven minutes

Longest....  16:11

Shortest song is the reprise at the end

Additionally:  maybe birds and waves at the beginning of the LP, just as they faded out in TCOT

Two song titles begin with 'The'
...going along with Dragon Attack's Queen thread has been like taking a free class in Queen knowledge. Where else are you gonna find info like that?!

How many times does "water" appear in the lyrics?
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.

16 Tracks
2 Songs over 10 minutes
Longest Song: 32:00
Shortest track: #1

Man how long is this hypothetical album?!

Since it will be Octavarium II: Hexadecivarium, it will be twice as long as Octavarium.

Nine songs. The title track called "The Prodigal Son Has Returned".
