SystematicChaos There will be plenty of areas of discussion about the merits of the album by the Dream Theater die-hards. But taken as a whole, this is Dream Theater’s finest and most balanced album in a decade. If Systematic Chaos helped them to partially lose the cult band tag, then Black Clouds & Silver Linings with surely take them to the next level. Isn't that too much saying?? That includes SDOIT!! :O Yeah man, if this is better than 6 degrees I'll be a happy happy boy.

breaktheprisonwall does anyone now of a site in the U.S. where i can purchase the Special Edition from that IS NOT Amazon (where it's listed as like $55....?) I mean, i know i may have to pay like $25-30, but $55? come one... any insight would be appreciated. Uh, that "like $55" one on Amazon is an IMPORT. Imports almost always have a high price. If you hold out a little while, they'll have the domestic version for a lower price. Also, as a side note, Amazon's prices for preorders usually fluctuate, often going quite a bit lower than the original price indicated, but they price guarantee preorders (which means you'll only be charged the lowest price the CD is listed at from the time you place the order until the order is shipped).

I've looked at a couple different sites, and so far I haven't seen it listed. It's not due out until June, so there's plenty time. I do imagine that it will be up fairly soon, though.

So, Rick. I bet I know what you're saying regarding the "growls". And yep, they must be terribly bad. How the band let that hideous thing come out?

Don't want to fall on the negativiy side, but I'm not that excited for the album as of that review... I'm sure that as a whole the album may be awesome, but I'm concerned about the individual "controversial" sections...

Hey Rich, As a point of reference, so I can better understand where you are coming from in your review, how would you rank previous Dream Theater albums? Thanks, Mark

Hey all I don't want to sound funny, but I don't really want to start getting into reviewing the album here. I always think it's best not to ruin the surprises. I did the Hammer review as they asked me. But trust me, it's an awesome album.

I am trying to find some parallels here, with previous album schedule. SC was out on June 4th, BC&SL are to be released roughly 3 weeks and two years later. "constant motion" was released as single, and free download for a bit from RR website on April 27th. My vague guess is that we should expect similar event for new album around May 18th, if they follow the same sort of schedule that is. But I still hope video and official single(s) is/are to be released sooner than that. Oh, and on top of that covers. Yessss. :D

I went ahead and preordered it, but I will keep an eye out in case another version shows up at a lower price, in which case I'll cancel this order.

Wasn't tryin to be rude or anything. Just throwing that out there cause I thought it was cool the last two ablums being released 2 years and two days apart and all. I did notice that your post was related to singles being released and stuff.

ResultsMayVary Please help me with that... I meant that as we already know which is one of the covers, it makes sense that it is uncovered during the first week, so we'll have to wait until the second week for the interesting stuff and the names of the covers we are anticipating. That said, "To Tame a Land" might be uncovered during the second or third week or something.

That review sounds fantastic but I absolutely will not let it influence my own unfolding of the music, nor will I allow myself to compare it to any other DT album. I going to let it be what it is. I'm very excited though.

I'm sure that as a whole the album may be awesome, but I'm concerned about the individual "controversial" sections... This. Just the growl thing tells me that they're continuing on the post-SFAM style. Hopefully I'll hear something I like. SC was the first album where I didn't like anything by them. I'd love to see a producer other than them. All IMO of course. I know most people love this and that's what counts.

I'll see your outside producer and raise you a writing session outside the studio, with demo's, and lyrics by Myung.

Never heard of before, Mike didnt say anything about it in the orginal post, but maybe we´re lucky. If this is the case im quite happy with the 3cd, my own mixes doesnt appael to me but i guess very many people will enjoy it. But hey, im just speculating. Though i dont feel so pumped for a mouse mat.

mini_monkey Is this stuff about the uber-deluxe edition old news? On the description bit on the left side, about the DVD, mouse mat etc. Sounds interesting http://roadrunnerrecords.co.uk/release/Black+Clouds+%26+Silver+Linings now we can understand why the preorder link from amazon was so expensive! but, it says import, maybe the american version will be cheaper?

cyberdrummer http://www.dtnorway.com/anmeldeser/35-anmeldelser/66-dream-theater-black-clouds-and-silver-linings.html That review made me really excited for Wither, The Shattered Fortress (I love references to old riffs), and The Best of Times, but it pretty much did the opposite for the rest. I'd say I was most looking forward to the Count of Tuscany since I love DT's epics, but this review makes it sound like it's some disjointed mishmash of riffs and song ideas. Still, I can't wait to hear this bad boy. PS - I really want to know what the lyrics to The Count of Tuscany are about...

I love to read the reviews for what other people think about it but i normally just give it a full listen before i judge on an album.

Hmm, these reviews aren't making me much excited... good overall, but certain sections that are either controversial or completely disjointed.

You know what, I listened to the album again on the train today, and I completely had a revelation. I had to change my review somewhat as it was a bit too negative at times, and to clarify a few things about it. For instance, the last song just clicked today, and i realized it was the lyrics that completely hindered me from having it click before.

jif26 The New Guy Don't want to fall on the negativiy side, but I'm not that excited for the album as of that review... I'm sure that as a whole the album may be awesome, but I'm concerned about the individual "controversial" sections... This. Just the growl thing tells me that they're continuing on the post-SFAM style. Hopefully I'll hear something I like. SC was the first album where I didn't like anything by them. I'd love to see a producer other than them. All IMO of course. I know most people love this and that's what counts. + 1 I pretty much agree with everything you said.. If the SC trend goes on this might be the first DT album I will not buy

Then yet another section of different riffs, large amounts of rhythm changes and riff changes, typical for what we’ve come to know from DT the last few years. We also get to hear MP try out blast beats for a size, So Mike can has play Blast Beats?

I'm totally still pumped for the album, but I'm pretty disappointed to hear about the all-too-familiar solo trading and unisons. Bleh. I was hoping they'd moved on from that... guess I shouldn't be too surprised.

From Jem Godfrey's blog: "Then I had a top afternoon with Mr Rudess, we drank some beer, had a jam on his iPhone. Man, some of the apps he showed me were astonishing. We also shot lots of amusing vidcam stuff which I'll edit together this evening. And he played me The Count of Whatsit from the new DT album, it's bloody good and I feel a bit of a return to the more "melodic prog" that DT are adored for. And only a snitch at 20 minutes long."

I was hoping they'd moved on from that... guess I shouldn't be too surprised. Yeah, I agree with this. I'm so tired of the JP Solo > JR Solo > JP Solo > Unison formula that we've heard over the past couple of albums. It's almost like you can hear it coming. Of course, still pumped for new album etc etc

You've rendered this thread useless for those who might want to speculate about the album, or find out if there has been any more official news released (which is what I was doing).

If you want surprises then hear another band. I dont understand why is never enough for many. DT is like a person who you love, you love her/him with virtues and defects. WDADU had unisions, I&W had solos; SFAM had the "FORMULA" and they are great. DT is DT the best band of all times (at least for me)... Period.

Yeas but with those albums there was a cohesiveness to everything. A sense of a whole work, not just individual pieces put together.

stratomailer Oh, please. It's just discussion of an official, "legal" review. And I believe there was a separate thread for speculation. Well, if it doesn't violate this: Wey This is Mike’s personal website. This is not a discussion ground for content that you’ve heard prior to the official release date of the album. Have some respect for the owner of this site. Yes, we know that in this day and age, everything becomes available on the internet before it’s legally available, and it’s your own personal choice to obtain it. This site is not the place for you to discuss what is not officially released. Users discussing content that has not officially been released by the band or RoadRunner Records, on an official site is not tolerated. As well, providing links to content, hinting at site names where content can be found, broken URLs, etc that has not been officially released by the band or RoadRunner Records, on an official site is not tolerated. I'm wrong then. I'm not going to read previous posts to make sure this was an official release. Also, there was a thread for speculation, but this is where I went to find out new news, and it had been awhile since I've checked here. I'd say I found new news, but not the kind I was looking for.

It's pretty obvious that reviews are going to be coming out now, as that's the -point- of the promotional period before the album release. We who recieve said promos are going to write reviews, and some of us put it online. Basically, if you don't want to know anything about the album, at this point you should probably not go about reading anything on the internet relating to it as it's only going to become more and more spoilery. And these reviews ARE legal, the record company has not put an embargo on when we can release the reviews. Although I did conciouscly not add it to this site, I cannot be held responsible for what other people link to here - but i would hold the right to clarify or correct anything that is related to my article.

Noxon, like myself, has an official promo copy. The warning about discussion is in regard to regular users, illegal downloads, etc. As Noxon stated, we're going to start seeing reviews posted online at this time as it's getting closer to release.
