Im still gonna stick to my belief that the AA song is "A Nightmare to Remember"...the nightmare being his alcoholism

I guess it could be that one, yeah. But the fact that both "shattered" and "fortress" are part of the TGP lyrics, makes me think that's the one.

I cant wait for this cd. I Jizz everytime I think about it.

Dude, you might have to get that checked...

Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony...

Shoot me already!
Wow...Awesome cover and title album :D

Carpe Diem !

Calls CD store and preorders the 3 disc verison.  Then I changed my pants.  2x.

A bad DT album (as if such a thing will ever exist) is 100x better than anyone elses good album.

SSSSSSSSSSSHIT,  CAN"T BREATHE!!!! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!  WOOOOOOOO!!!  I'M TOO EXCITED!!

3 disc edition
6 tracks on each disc

6 6 6

I see some satanic nugget in there


 
Ok, I'll just apologize and go to bed

Boy, am I glad it isn't self-titled.

That is probably the single sexiest DT album art ever, not to mention seriously badass album and track names. Can't wait.

Dream Theater isn't the best band in the world.

They're the ONLY band. Everyone else are sub-par imitations.

Count me in for the 3 disc special edition!
only one thing could top this....DT touring in Monterrey.
Everything sounds so epic of this new album.

now, do you think DT will play songs of BC&SL on the shows previous the release?

Carpe Diem !

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I may have just jizzed in my pants. Just a hair.

Edit:

Yep, just read about the 3-disc thing. Defiantly just jizzed my pants there.

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

How the hell do DT keep doing this?! They just keep topping themselves AND I HAVEN'T EVEN HEARD THE MUSIC YET! 3 disc edition? OH HELLS YEAH.

As soon as I logged in I saw half the the thread title as a preview and just screamed. Literally. I literally just screamed at my computer.

AHHH!!! LOVE IT!

Ok, the 6 song thing is awesome. Looks like an album of epics (assuming they're still doing full length albums)!

Aaaaaaaaand the album artwork has seriously got to be the best DT artwork since... wow. I don't know? 6DOIT possibly? I'd say it's rivalling Scenes right now.
And thank GOD the infamous 'black bar' has finally gone!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

OH. MY. God.

First the Gophers beat Northwestern today, then I watch the whole UConn Syracuse Marathon and go to check the forum before bed randomly.

Oh. My. God.

Considering that A Rite of Passage will be the single, and most certainly be released before the tour starts, I'd say they will play that song. As for the rest, I don't know. If AROP (I love how we will start using new acronyms now!) is 8 minutes long, and the album is 70 minutes long (give or take, you know the deal with DT), that leaves us with around 12 minute per song out of the other 5 songs... I woulnd't expect them to play more than one of those songs, if they should play any song at all.

^ MP said the first song they wrote for the album is 15 minutes long on his Score commentary.

It's easier to bow than keep these knees locked tight

And the logical assumption for this would be that it was the final part of the AA saga.

 I AM SOOOOO BUYING THE VINYL! AND THE 3CD EDITION! BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY THE VINYL! I LOVE VINYL!

Does nobody else care about vinyl? lol MP that is so awesome, you sir are a true fan of music.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! This made my year XD

What a great day.. beginning of Rugby League season AND DREAM THEATER ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM!!!

MP: Do you guys know how long it took to find a gravestone with the name Victoria Page, and the dates 1905-1928 on it?! Took us months!

AWESOME VINYL! buying the vinyl and cd can't wait.

Special edition here I come!

I dig mellow, life affirming songs, but then again, the despairic, heavy and dark aspect of some of DT's music has always been a source of my enduring interest in the band.  Looks like there is a fair portion here, at least from the name of the album.  Life is but dark clouds and silver linings.  Someone said to me earlier tonight "death and despair seem to follow you lately."  Lots of silver fucking lining also.  Such is life, and music.  Bring it on.

Well . . .

Its kind of a mess in here, like "Larry Bud Melman" had said on the Old
David Letterman show, something about a Porno Theatre . . .
"...and the smell of men enjoying themselves!" Yikes!
With all these nocturnal emissions, youre all gonna' make Portnoy and
the Band have multiple orgasms!
Love the Cover Art (I assume its the great Hugh Syme as well ;) )!

and . . .
YESIKNOW TUSCANY ISINITALY!!!
(my late Father prided himself on Geography and me and my younger
Brother got our share of "Lectures", and I'm half Sicilian- please don't say
"Whats That?" )
And are some of us that "old"? . . .
Title of Album = "Every Cloud has a Silver Lining" (Old Saying kids), yeah! Life is full of Black Clouds and Silver Linings . . . like my LIFE! (I'm from Calif. how
come I jus' turned New York heah!)
. . . Sorry I couldn't let those 2 things go

Frickin' album is gonna' rule (wild guess) ;)

NOW YOU KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!

I'm hoping this is different from their recent efforts due to tracklisting and artwork. Not that they're bad, but different will be good. Time will tell.

Dichotomy between Genesis fans and Dream Theater fans (after reading the 1st page):
 
Dream Theater fans jizz themselves when hey hear good news;
Genesis fans just shit themselves.
 
Must be an age thing.
 

The painting on the easel and the crow are definitely references to Train of Thought and Octavarium.

Are there any ants crawling around?  Heh.

This is bad-ass news.  That special edition is, again, a must-have.

Holy shit!  Talk about an information overload.  I'll reiterate what others have mentioned:

-Best DT album cover since Awake.
-Possibly six epics which would be fucking amazing.
-Six cover songs.  Dying to find out what they are.  Hopefully the band members were able to pick at least one track each. Would be great if one of them was a classic Genesis track.  Not out of the realm of possibility considering how big a fan Jordan is (and MP as well to a lesser extent). 

June 23rd can't get here any sooner.  Bring it on!!

WHAT. This is probably one of my least favourites
After WDADU, Awake and IaW are their ugliest covers imo (Awake isn't quite as bad though).

The easle has got 4 legs!!!!... an easle has NO 4 legs!!!... it's always 3... so why is that?...

4 Planets... 4 books... 4 easle legs... So, there is something about the number 4.

All the songs on this album are in 4/4 time!
Just kidding!!!!!
 
Also I wonder what/who the Count of Tuscany is? Is it the male form of Countess or counting, like 1,2,3? Did (the) Tuscany ever have a count? Paging the italians here...
