Systematic Chaos - CD and DVD release info!

I'm going to have to get the special edition just because the artwork is vastly superior! Nice job, Hugh.

Yeah too bad I dont have the money for both!

hell freaking yes im getting both of them thanx MP for making a great night even better

This is the best thing ever. 

That is amazing news! I'll definitely pick up both versions  

Push your family members into buying em to you

Damn, this thread is growing bigger every minute - like my appetite for this record. It's great to have news like this in the middle of the night (it's 06:55 here, so it's almost morning), and meet with others unsleeping fans drawn here by sheer joy.

GODDAMN I WANT THIS ALBUM

OMFG. I know I'm getting 'em all.

well june is the month of my birthday so i will probably end up getting my family to get it for me
but its freaking 1 00 in the morning of Saturday. lol i need to go to bed but i cant i would much rather talk to fellow DT fans about what is going to be the greatest album in the world!!

donnie> we'll still be here tomorrow - along with 6789 more thread pages

haha i would rather be here to help make the 6789 more thread pages!!!
GO DREAM THEATER!!!
NEW ALBUM YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

I feel sorry for Funky

OK...

The Special Edition DVD will include:
--- the entire album mixed in 5.1 surround sound
--- "Chaos in Progress - The Making of Systematic Chaos"
(a 90-minute documentary directed by Mike Portnoy)

Those are the things on the DVD.

The CD's track listing for both editions is:

1. In The Presence of Enemies Pt.1 (9:00)
2. Forsaken (5:36)
3. Constant Motion (6:55)
4. The Dark Eternal Night (8:51)
5. Repentance (10:43)
6. Prophets Of War (6:01)
7. The Ministry of Lost Souls (14:57)
8. In The Presence of Enemies Pt.2 (16:38)

That's what's on the cd, which is the same on both editions. Work with me here folks... :) lol

So, no, the 5.1 will not play in your cd player... and it wouldn't if it was a DVD-A disc either. It's a DVD, not a CD. 

The CD will of course be the stereo mix.

i now understand all that lol
but i really didnt at first

thank youuuu so muchhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats right folks Mike Portnoy is the man!  I can not wait!

Forgot to add:

Finally!! A making of documentary

Could this possibly be the greatest cd ever?

As I saw words like "Pantera-esque" on the Roadrunner site, that might just be it. DT sounding like Pantera while exploring the realms of prog? Damn. I just wet my pants.

Count me in for buying 1 of the special editions. This just seems to get better with each post MP.... This is without a doubt the most anticipated album (by me) that you guys have put out since my waiting for Awake!!! I seriously can't wait!!!!!!!


In the words of Jay.... "I think I filled the cup!"

I would kill for a "Making of Awake DVD"  This is my most anticipated release since Awake also!

This is going to be the best Dream Theater cd ever. Shit, maybe THE best cd ever.

This causes a tingle in my happy place.

Sweet! Can't wait! <--that is what I looked like after opening this thread.

There's no smiley that can reproduce the face I was making ! Maybe a mix between and

Yeah I was actually visiting dreamtheaterforums.com when i saw where someone had posted this and i headed over here to see it, but it absolutely shocked me, that new SE cover is beautiful!

Holy music video Batman!
 

Does Roadrunner distribute worldwide?? Already thinking on howto get my hands on these!

how many fans here and many other communities will actually not buy the SE? (unless it's for a friend or something whose just a casual fan)

Must have both, I hope they will pre-order.

cduniverse is going to crash 

guau, i am drunk and with this i feel better, dvd..... i'm so excited...

i couldnt ask for any more...
mike...you are the man...man!

ORIGINAL: FlashCE

Will the Special Edition version have normal stereo settings? I want the DVD but not the 5.1...

I would say that the dvd would have the option of 2 (stereo) or 5.1 (surround) channels just as any regular dvd has.

i dont know what to say other than..............
 
 
*dies*
 
 
 
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

isn't the traffic light upside down?

Isn't your brain turned ON?

OMFG!!! AWESOME!!!

Wow Mike you are the man!!!  Can't wait to see the video ! I have never been this excited about a cd release. Am I the first to notice that there are 9 ants on the SE cover? Teh Nuggetz are coming
