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

What do you take us for?! We have gigabytes of porn in our PCs folders

So I jumped on the lens flare bandwagon:

So I jumped on the lens flare bandwagon:

Haaa I get it.

Or wait, was there supposed to be a picture or just a big white box?

So I jumped on the lens flare bandwagon:

It's not bright enough...

Ink, that cover is really awesome if you invert the colours!

It was meant to be white.

I have never been as psyched as I am for any DT release going back to the beginning.  I really hate to put so much hype on something because that's usually when there's a let down.  I have a feeling this one may be the holy grail in their career from a musical standpoint.
 
Three months and counting....since I'll wait to actually BUY it!!!!!!!!!!!!!  A novel concept these days.

I am very excited to see this release!

Those white squares are very irritating.

I am excited.  My birthday is the 21st, so I will be requesting (or possibly purchasing myself) the 3-disc set.  That sounds awesome.

I LOVE YOU DREAM THEATER!!!11!!1ONE!!!1

P.S.  I totally love the name and album cover.

My predictions for the 6 songs

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

I love XYZ!

Me, too...
And I guess even Rush would be surprised, if DT would cover this song...

@KS and RTG
May it be that you keep an eye on it, whether someone uses wrong song titles...?

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)

No offense, but they covered "Bohemian Rhapsody" on "A Change Of Seasons"...

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.

Don't forget that Dream Theater did record Iron Maiden's To Tame A Land for Kerrang Magazine, which will probably be one of the six cover songs on the special edition.

I'm so stoked about this album.    I was very disappointed after SC.   But I suppose it was to be expected that the creative peak (IMO) of the last 4 albums could not last forever.

That being said, I expect fantastic things from this album.    From the teaser clip, it truly sounds to me that we will have a MUCH more *balanced* album.   (something that I really appreciated about Octavarium....which is an album I didn't fully grasp for almost a year...it is currently my all time favorite DT album)

What happened to the gigantic version of the album cover or am I simply in the wrong thread?

It disappeared, LOL. For whatever reason. You are definitely in the right thread.

argh, well I was looking for it so I could save it lol...you wouldn't happen to have it would you?

Of course I do. I ALWAYS save EVERYTHING DT related haha. Especially pics/artwork and the likes ;)

Maybe you're thinking of the picture in the nuggetz thread. Click the link below and scroll down:

No no, that pic was posted initially in this thread, that's how it got into the nuggetz thread. I have no idea though why the big version has been removed from this thread.

What the heck is Rush XYZ? I know of YYZ but what is this XYZ? Is it a new instrumental?

I'm not talking about the first picture in the nuggetz thread. I know that one came from here. Later in that thread a higher-resolution picture was posted on page 2, which is what I linked to.

It's the upcoming Part X of the Gangster Of Boats Trilogy!

Ah yeah. Though. The pic in the nuggetz thread is only 600x600, Wey posted an 800x800 in this thread at one point, which is gone now.

It will be back later. I was asked to take it down for the moment.

I can only assume it's because Syme will do some minor changes, much like what happened with SC's cover, but I'm just guessing.

I saved it too on my hardrive, just in case.

 "Star Trek" works well also.

The artwork rocks! 

Totally sets a vibe for the record.  DT going back to more progressive roots? 

Good... I love the artwork.... and those song seem killer.....
greetings from Chile....

I don't think it will be a concept album, but I do think it has got a lot to do with the renesans.
Each song is related by title to the renesans:

A Nightmare To Remember - The Black Death - an epidemic spread in italy and was one of the factors for the rebirth, uerope needed a change - the black raven in the cover.

A Rite of Passage - The transition from the dark ages to the renesans

Wither - The attempt to make a change, a renesnas.

The Shatered Fortress - The rebirth, probably the last song in the AA saga.

The Best of Times - The prosperity of the renesans

The Count of Tuscany - The countdown to the end of the renesans
