    oh damn didn't see this coming. again, i remember the argument that spending a lot of time writing doesn't necessarily mean a good album (cough gnr cough), and vice versa, so just cause this was quick does not mean its not going to be good.

    i wonder when this will be released. i'm pretty pumped already. i hope first half of the year!! june is probable. i hope they do little snippet releases like for SC.

      I'm excited

      And with this release I'm not going to read any threads with spoilers nor will I look at/listen to any previews.

      I WILL make it this time!


      I'm going to do the same, we should all form a group and try to be strong it won't be an easy task

      MP's post has put me into such a happy mood, sounds amazing, thanks MP! I could not be anymore excited!


      Oh god I'm game for this... it would be wonderful to listen to the album for the first time with no expectations or anticipating sections I've heard about etc. I'm up for trying too!!

        the setlist that you provided us as example for the tracks of the new album, leads us to a brand new double album.

         
        Where are you guys getting this idea from? Everything in Mike's posting points to another
        ~75 minute album with the writing process ending when they ran out of space on the CD.

          I'd have to stop coming to the forum as soon as they released the first clip.

            not necessarily
            as far as i'm concerned, nothing is official until MP says it is
             
             
            i would love for it to be another double album though

            BAM! Hit Em With A Freezepop!

                so, theres 5 tracks on this album...
                 

                /not to be taken seriously at all.

                 
                so this album is going to be more or less epic.
                 
                /meant to be taken seriously

                      ORIGINAL: CyberShy

                      So that's 5 songs,
                      4 on disk 1, one epic (+-24m) (COS), 1 metal/commecial (+-8m) (PMU), 1 very heavy (+-15m) (GP) and 1 epic prog (+-15m) (LTL) = 62 minutes
                      disk 2: Last episode AA saga: +- 50m (8v) (split up in 3 parts, one for every step)

                      I may be wrong be a few minutes perhaps ;)

                      Or are my expectations too heigh?



                      I thinking mike is not talkng about the length.

                        Not that Mike put unbelievably high expectations on this album or anything...but if it's anything like ACOS, LTL, OV, PMU, or TGP I'd be pretty freakin' happy.  Especially ACOS and LTL.  Those 2 songs are brilliant.

                        Do we really have to wait until May/June?

                          ORIGINAL: Epitaph04

                          Double album? You mean entire second disc based solely on the last part of the AA suite?




                          Damn, now there's an idea.  The regular album, including the last piece of the suite and then a bonus disc of the entire suite pieced together properly by the band.  That would absolutely blow me right the fuck away.

                              Hmmm... With the description MP gave, maybe it's the third disc of the Greatest Hit compilation : The Epic Side

                              In all seriousness though, I hope there's an instrumental track on this.


                              Believe it or not, I created my own The Epic Side for my iPod.  Mine runs as....

                                It seems there is a massive lack of overanalyzing Mike's message here, so here's what we know for sure so far:


                                i for one will be writing a letter of disgust to the band if anything you have said does not come true

                                after all, it was confirmed by the band

                                        and this is what kills me....

                                        you finished touring in what, May....then played with LTE for a tad....took a few months off...

                                        HOW DO YOU WRITE YOUR MUSIC SO DAMN FAST AND IT ENDS UP ALWAYS BEING DIFFERENT THEN ANYTHING ELSE YOU'VE WRITTEN!?!?!?!!???!?!?!
                                         
                                        While I wont speculate about your hair, I would like to know if you have an idea of when it's coming out...Spring?
                                         
                                        Happy thanksgiving everyone


                                        I'm the guy with the stupid smile.


                                        ORIGINAL: Portnoy

                                        Well, normally I wont share any studio info for fear of over speculation and analyzation (yes, there's another thread in the Forum with 21 pages of people talking about mine and JP's hair based on Jordan's studio diary!)....
                                         
                                        But I felt the need to share this excitement with y'all:
                                         
                                        Today I finished my drum tracks for the new Dream Theater album! 
                                         
                                        And as I normally never give away song descriptions, titles, lengths, etc....I will say just this:
                                         
                                        Imagine a DT album with A Change Of Seasons, Octavarium, Learning To Live, Pull Me Under and The Glass Prison....all on one album....
                                         
                                        COULD YOU HANDLE IT??????? 
                                         
                                        Excited?
                                        I sure am!!!!
                                         
                                        Happy Turkey Day Everybody,
                                        MP

                                          Oh Lord!!! I totally forgot to mention this . . .

                                          Now that I am a part of this Forum

                                          Mike!!! Remember that WICKED SOUND that Jordan did on his Keys, that you said "We should have used that for the
                                          Deep Purple Tribute!" . . . HECK!!! use it for the NEW album, that "Hammond Organ" sound (that "goes to 11") was
                                          really an excellent sound and I was just as impressed as you were . . . DO IT MAN, DO IT!!!

                                          I gotta' go to sleep! So I can eat Turkey, suffer from Triptofan . . . and go to sleep again!!!

                                            At the rate they're going, I reckon this could be out by the end of March.

                                              Shit, now I'll be extremely disappointed if this isn't the greatest masterpiece I've ever heard

                                              Don't let me down

                                                Already? I thought we would have to wait a few years before the next album.
                                                AWESOME!

                                                        It seems there is a massive lack of overanalyzing Mike's message here, so here's what we know for sure so far:

                                                        i for one will be writing a letter of disgust to the band if anything you have said does not come true

                                                        after all, it was confirmed by the band

                                                         
                                                        THAT'S the spirit, man! I think we should start working on an open letter to Mike complaining
                                                        about his shameless misinformation campaign ASAP! It's never to soon for these things!

                                                          Now that I've read Mike's post, I'm officially ANCIOUS!!!!!

                                                            I think the only real assumption we can make about DT10 based on Mike's teaser is that it will be COMPLETELY AWESOME.

                                                            Seriously, now I absolutely can't wait for this album. New Pure Reason Revolution AND Dream Theater next year? 2009 is going to be a good one for prog.
