The Drums Are Done!!!!

Kyo, thanks for taking the 'Do Want' picture from my photobucket account

 
That's what you get for posting in my Hiromi thread!

Wow, this news really has me looking forward to the new album much more than I'd been before. No matter what, I'll always support DT, buy their albums on release date, see them in concert, etc.... but while I've liked many songs on each of the last 3 albums, I've been somewhat disappointed in them all as a whole. I personally think that SDOIT was their last truly GREAT album from start to finish, and if MP's descriptions are true, then it gives me hope this new one could be as good or better than that!

/me crosses fingers for Myung lyrics

What's weird is that I've been playing those songs constantly lately: ACOS (from Live Scenes); Octavarium (from Score); Learning to Live (2007 Fan Club); Pull Me Under (2007 Fan Club); and The Glass Prison (Gigantour)

I hope this wont be the kiss of death of overpromise and underdeliver

sounds like we will hear JM lyrics on the record, which 99.99% of the forum will like.

Why are we likely to hear JM lyrics???

ganpondordf - probably over speculating, cause MP listed LTL.

Oh.  Well hopefully we will anyway.  It's been too long.

damn, i was trying really hard to avoid getting all crazy for this album!

Kyo, I bow to your superior means of over analyzing.

Just wait till it all finds its way into a Blabbermouth story!

That's the most pre release info MP has ever belched out.
 
 
 
Sounds like the perfect DT album. Thanks.

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
 

Pull Me Under
We're going to see Dream Theater on MTV . Time to replace the crap MTV plays and more DT

WOW!

Can't wait! Congratulations DT!

Clyx - you DO know that MTV doesnt even play Music Videos anymore right?

And always remember - it could've been THIS instead:

Sounds great. Two 20(+/-) minute songs would be nice.
And a lot of overreacting in this thread already

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....
Metropolis Part 1
Learning to Live
A Mind Besides Itself
Scarred
A Change of Seasons
Hell's Kitchen/Lines In The Sand
Trial Of Tears
Beyond This Life
In The Presence of Enemies (both parts spliced together)
first 4 parts of the AA suite edited to one song

Nice!  I have similar playlists.  One consists of the AA saga, while the other consists of all of the Epics (I like) from any band on my iPod.


Oh, right.  Sorry.

WOOHOO!!!

This sounds sensational.  Cannot wait.

that's the best turkey day news ever!!!!

AHH! That's amazing!! Can't wait!

That tops Thanksgiving off better than Pumkin Pie!  I am so friggin excited now.  Hey Mike, tell the other guys to Hurry up! (he he)

Can't wait! So much (more) anticipation now!
 
Ok, Mike, spill the beans and tell us about your plans for the new touring kit including the new 8" snare if it works out.
 

So. . . It's gonna be long?

omg

That's what she said.

Damnyoumikeportnoy!

Can't wait to hear it when it's released.

Thank you Mike. No really, Thank you a lot.


I for one would be perfectly happy with a 5-song epic oriented album... Looking forward to this...

In my opinion, he mentions three of the best songs they have in their catalog (ACOS, PMU, LTL) accompanied by the best one in the AA saga (TGP) and, the best song they've done in the last 5 years (8V)...

high expectations indeed...



and now for the fan-boy comment:

Track numbers for the songs mentioned are 1, 8, 8, 1, 1....



OMG TEH NUGGETZ RETURN!!!
