The Drums Are Done!!!!
Thursday, November 27, 2008 1:16 AM
( permalink)
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

Indeed I am! 
When it comes to seeing your favorite bands in concert, school and work be damned. You can always make up for it some other way. Can't make up for a missed concert. -astrotrain_jlr

REALLY looking forward to this now.

I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. -Thomas Jefferson, letter to Francis Hopkinson, March 13, 1789

Track list like that, sounds like they're pushing another double album.
That is outstanding news, though!

Shazam Great news, thanks for my daily MP/DT news fix. Wait... maybe this new album is just going to consist of Dream Theater doing covers of their greatest hits such as A Change of Seasons, Octavarium, Learning to Live, Pull Me Under and The Glass Prison

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???????
Could this album finally reunite the factions and restore peace to the boards as we all join together and sing "Ever Enough"? Probably not, because I'm guessing that some people can't handle it:  But we idealists can always hope

Didn't they go into the studio only a month ago? Please, Portnoy, for the sake of the fans, take some time to write quality material.

Due to DT's use of odd time signatures, a month is really more like a year... So don't worry your little head about it.

+1. I'm guessing Petrucci used some 69/42 on the album so they could go back in time write for 83 hours a day.

I could, but I don't think a red book compliant CD would. It would be exactly 40 seconds too long.
