Systematic Chaos - CD and DVD release info!

Hmm, this may just be a dumb question on my part (maybe already asked in this giant thread), but I'm wondering if the booklets for both editions and the art contained in both (besides the cover of course) will be the same. It makes sense that it would be I guess, though creating two entirely different booklets would make each version kind of collectible and probably drive fans crazy haha. But maybe I'm just being silly. The booklets will probably be the same, right?

I think Constant Motion still can be an instrumental, maybe an animation like with octavarium. That will solve the problem with james labrie beeing on the video and not sing.He will be running and killing ants. Just a stupid thought never mind.

oh yah you can bet that will be on the dvd...afterall, it was filmed.  i cant wait to relive it via the dvd.

Wouldn't you all have to sign release forms for that kind of thing?

Im pretty sure they were told that they were signing away the use of their likeness by entering the studio.

Makes sense. That's going to be pretty cool to see if it's on the DVD.

D.T. and Rush doing 5.1 releases ,drool! Will it be available in the U.K.? As the Rush one is only available via the U.S. and limited to 25,000.

It seems like it will be not be limited... at least I hope not!

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!
 
JUNE... HURRY UP!!!
 
It has been said a million times.... but Mike, YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!!!.... this is gonna be the a hell of a summer!!!
 

 
 

Another interestig tidbit to ponder. Could the SE version being released signal a re-release of previous DT studio albums in a 5.1 format? And, is there a market for such releases? Would you be willing to go back & purchase their back catalogue in 5.1 if available? I'm ALMOST positive I remember past studio reports from previous albums (Octo & Train for sure, if memory serves me correctly) where MP mentioned that 5.1 mixes for both albums WERE completed, but not released. Or, would those be ytsejam releases? I would DEFINITELY be willing to fork over the dough for past DT albums released in a 5.1 format, if one man's vote holds much merit here.
 
BS

Great news, I would LOVE to see SC on Vinyl.

The 5.1 release of this album doesn't indicate in any way that the old ones would be done in 5.1. WB owns those recordings, and DT is on RR now.... unless RR bought those masters and rights, but I kinda doubt it.

cannot wait, i was already excited enough about this album, now this?  O Well June 5th

but WB bought RR, did they not? Does that have any effect on things?

HOLY FREAKIN' CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm absolutely at a loss for words....

A video? Why bother?

uhhh... plenty of reasons to bother. party pooper!

Along with the lyrics to our chant (see sig) there was a sheet informing us that we would be entitled to nothing and that everything was being filmed. I don't think anyone minded either

Ya know what? I take that back. Because I realized the answer to my own question: a new label is why they should bother. Under the previous label, a video was a waste of time and money that could've been spent on something more productive. But now with a label that's actually behind them, maybe they'll push the video and the single to get played.
 
Excuse me, I'm just talking to myself here.

These were my thoughts exactly. I am HYPED as hell for a video, but, WHO is actually going to AIR it?
VH1Classic?
MTV2?
Does eMpTyV still even play music videos during regular waking hours?
Not trying to be an additional "party pooper", just realistic.
I'm in agreement and hoping that RR does their PR job and gets 110% behind this CD/DVD release as well as the video.

...and BTW....I am BEYOND excited for this release AND Cleveland's already on the DT tour map!! Oh YEAH!

can't fucking wait!

Well, I'm pretty sure that I am going to see this new video at least a couple of times on Finnish TV.
We have Headbanger's Ball on MTV (hosted by Timo Kotipelto of Stratovarius, btw.) and they have been playing lots of videos from RR lablemates (Trivium, Opeth, etc..) so DT will be played also for sure.

Secondly, this video will be played in the Finninh Top 40 chart show (on TV2, a national chanel)
when Systematic Chaos premiers in the top 10 (probably in top 3) in the Fin chart. How cool is that?

I sincerely hope that they get lots of airtime with this video around the world, don't forget that there are many rock shows in different countries, it's not all about eMpTyV.

I can't wait..

Wow, I need that SE! I hope that video actually gets some airplay...

I'm sure i'll see the video 24/7 on italian sky satellite channel Rock TV. Can't wait!

Can anyone make a wallpaper of the Special Edition cover???!?! This is f*ckin amazing!! I can't wait for this to be released!!

I`d buy the older cd`s in 5.1,just look at Genesis releasing their back catalogue in that format.

Wallpaper I made for my computer, I have more over at wwwdt-x.com (KEVtheater)

Nickelback's videos are aired, Stonesour's videos are aired, 36 crazy fists' videos are aired, Dream Theater is next. Why would Roadrunner invest their money, even though theyre a loaded label, into a band that wouldnt't get air play. Obviously they will!

Not to be a Negative Nancy here, but I just can't get what MP said about DT not being a band made for video's. (for those who have absolutley no idea what I am talking about, please go buy the 5 Years in a LIVEtime DVD and listen to the commentary). But I have faith in MP and the band, and I am very confident that this video is gonna be great.
 
With all that being said,
 
 
....this DVD is gonna be freaking sweet!

As for the video possibly not getting enough airplay, I got an answer for all you folks:  YOUTUBE.COM

As for the video possibly not getting enough airplay, I got an answer for all you folks:  YOUTUBE.COM

Youtube is good for exposure but the quality really does take away from the experience. I wish they would do something about that. I mean the audio is mono, and data rate for both the video and audio together is 200Kbps...

I would like to see them encode a high definition verson in the H.264 codec and allow it to be downloaded.

Awesome news, I can't wait to buy both editions.  In honor of this great news, I will listen to DT's entire studio catalog (post-I&W) today at work.

Looks very Nice , Witch song is the conclussion to the 12 step series (Glass Prission, Dying Soul, Root of all Evil)?

The next song in the series is Repentance, but it's not the last.  It's steps 8 and 9 out of 12, so the last song in the AA saga will probalby be on the next album with steps 10, 11, and 12.

Sweet! 

KEVtheater, that wallpaper is fantastic!
