DREAM THEATER - BLACK CLOUDS & SILVER LININGS - Coming June 23rd!

FWIW, the album is already out and available throughout all grocery stores and street cigarette vendors across South America, and this one island southeast of Australia.

^^ wait, WHAT!?!?

Please tell me you're joking. It's too early in the morning for me to tell.

^^ haha!

The album cover is really promising, it really is very reminiscent of that old school IAW/Awake style artwork. I know that doesn't mean the album will sound similar, but it's still pretty cool. I haven't been that into DT's newer albums, but I'm always interested in hearing what they come up with.

Finally a new Dream Theater Album on Vinyl! Yippeeeeeeeee!!!!! I am sure it will kick major A$$

Yes, he's serious. It's already out here. We're in the future, you know.

I thought the name of the album was just OK...until I saw the cover art! The cover definitely makes the title that much more intriguing and exciting!

The song titles of course sound very interesting (Especially The Count of Tuscany). Because Mike said this album will be like having A Change of Seasons and Octavarium (among the other titles) I'm blown away by the prospect of having two majorly epic songs one one album! Given there are only six songs, it is safe to assume there will be!

The special edition sounds amazing! I love instrumentals, so this pretty much doubles the amount of new songs for me! I also can't wait to hear what the six covers will be!

Truly an amazing release and I thank Dream Theatre for always doing new things (i.e. double disc release for 6DoIT and Making of DVD on SC). Suffice to say, buying the special edition is a no brainer!

thats one of the reasons i love roadrunner...they get all the albums in special edition format...its only with DT that they release them in the begininng itself and not months later like with killswitch , slipknot etc

Also, you are so right about roadrunner too!

I know I'm a dumbass but isn't Australia south-east of New Zealand?

I'm weird......I dreamt that I got a song from the new album on my cellphone, from my provider....it was Wither and it was Mike doing lead vocals on it....weeeird @-)

Black clouds & Silver Linings smeells really good! I will TAKE THE TIME to listen....and I'm shure that this disc will not be A LIE hahahahah....DT rocks for life!

Ok, so albums on vinyl.... do they sound BETTER than CD's, or just different? I mean.... why buy the vinyl other than for the collector in all of us?

Some people claim that vinyl has a "warmer" sound and more dynamics than a CD. Haven't listened to too many vinyls in my life so I can't tell you if it's the case or not.

the do have a warmer tone to them for sure. but you only get the truest vinyl quality if the source was recorded to tape originally.

um

I have lots of older albums on vinyl that sound 'warmer', better, but these days you need to spend quite a bit on a decent turntable.

KIWI, I was joking about Tasmania, after all I did live in Sydney for 22 years, so I am well aware of where NZ is :)

Holy crap, the world changed since last time I went outside 

Brakkum

How much warmer would you say? About five degrees Celsius? Or even ten?


Yes, I think this is a really strange word to use to describe sound, no matter how common it is.

Does anyone think that the album will be downloaded via Itunes the day it comes out?
as I refuse to download without paying DT, and the hard copy will only come to India when the next album releases :S

even so, it will still be compressed to death for mp3 players. So what's the point. 

(btw, someone fixed my safari-experience here - thanks !)

i dreamed the other dayy that i had a rite of passage in my computer! it was like the dark eternal night! lol!

i need to listen some of this new album please...move on DT =(

Vinyl sounds 'warmer' because it has more dynamics in the lows in stead of cd's which have more dynamics in the highs....or something.

I would assume so.  I still want to find out if online sales count towards the bill board

Tasmania isn't south-east of Australia; it is, in fact, part of Australia.
