Thanks Wey!!!! My New Desktop!!!!

Is it June 23rd yet??..........................ANYONE?

Ok that is sweet as hell.  Very Awake-esque artwork.  Can't wait!

Probably no one got that one, but - guys - Mike waited till friday 13th with annoucement !!! :D how cool is that, to announce also 3CD album, with 6 songs each (three sixes) ? on 13th friday :D

Im scared.Only 6 songs,looks like another epic album with 13+minute songs,and progressive as hell.
 
Looks like we here in TOT have our work cut out for us!!

Yeah, it may be a concept album...DT's hasn't written one in quite a long time...be cool if they wrote another...   If it is not, still cool to get some new DT and to check out PROG Nation in South Texas!

Man, I wish they came to South Texas!!  I really doubt it, though.

Thanks for the bigger artwork Wey

(ps - get your butt on steam at some point!)

Huh? What? Have I stumbled into the tear the new DT album apart based on the cover and titles thread?

No, just kidding. I totally can't wait! Definitely the coolest Album cover since Awake. The concept is great!

I will be purchasing the Vinyl edition...

Awesome artwork!!!!

Seriously, I can't wait anymore.

It's obviously not a concept album because it has to have the last song of the AA Suite in it.
Album 11 I bet will be a double concept disc.

8V was a concept album and included an AA song...

Not really. Yes, 8V had continuing themes but I view a concept album as an album that tells a story through the whole album, not just random nuggets and speculation. Quadrophenia, Scenes From A Memory, and Tommy are concept albums, 8V is not in my opinion.

aye I figured, whenever you've got time to kill ;)

2. Metallica The Unforgiven
3. Queen Love of my Life
4. Rush XYZ
5. Spocks Beard: The Light
6. The Beatles: Dear Prudence

Okay I want to changle my Beatles prediction. I can't imagine these guys not covering Metallica or Rush or Yes or The Beatles or a band like Queen (who they have never covered any of their albums)

I'm going to change from Dear Prudence to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"

That would be amazing to hear DT cover While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

Holy Shit!  FUCK YES!!! (figuratively comes in pants).  June 23rd cannot come soon enough.  I cannot wait, I am so anxious to hear this.  AWESOME cover art.  The question that is most on my mind is not what the six cover songs are, but which song is the finale to the AA suite.

Awesome~21 Cant wait... I hope it turns out great.

Fuck yeaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the title and artwork (reminds me of Awake!)

So, I guess instead of ants we're gonna see mice or elephants on top of JP's amps?

- The album will suck but everyone will dig Labrie's voice
- Mike won't be using odd time sig
- Petrucci won't shred that much
- Kevin Moore will play about 95% of the album
- Rudess will only play some ragtime fills here and there
- Myung will be giving a speech of about 12:34 minutes at the end of the CD as an hidden track and will play a 4 string bass on the entire song list.

can anyone try to guess what the artwork on the new album means?

today is 22nd of june right? i cant waitttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!

Will there be a 5.1 version as with Systematic Chaos?,that really rocked!
Going on the titles,could the album be split into two halves,the black side and the lighter silver side?

I made an alternate version of the cover with extra lens flare, for those like me who just can't get enough lens flare.

I love the title, love the artwork and cannot wait for this release

Ah yes, the "Star wars-ification" of the DT message board continues.  You guys on the threads...it's entertaining, seriously...but...c'mon, "Jizz"ing over the song titles and cover???  It's the die hards that ruin every message board, everywhere...Star Wars geeks, Trekkies, movie geeks....since I despise that word used to describe your type...."fanboy" - is the worst thing to ever be created....

"I'm looking forward to the album...." isn't that much easier to say than "OMG....I JUST CAME IN MY PANTS....DT BC&SL RULES...CAN'T WAIT TO ROLWNFAMGAH AT THE SONG TIMES FROM ABCEDIEFT??

Don't you have girlfriends?!?! wives?!?! something?!!

just sayin'....HAVE SOME DIGNITY MANNNNN!!!

OMG....!!!! I'm more excited than I was about SC. Everything looks like it'll be great!!!

Well. I know what my next tattoos will be now! The artwork is f***ing awesome.

I'm already dead, it's a matter of time

There is more premature ejaculation in this thread then there is in junior high.

First thing I thought when I saw the album cover was Awake.
Not saying that has anything to do with what the music will be but that was just my opinion about the cover.

Can't wait for the album though.  I completely agree with what Darlene said earlier in the thread about the timing just feeling right.  Maybe b/c I haven't seen them in so long and I really need some new DT.
