WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh good, now I can post in the desktop thread ;)

I'd just like to state for the record that the rumors are false.
MP.C has no intention of replacing me with Jay Leno.

I'm loving the album art. Totally reminiscent of Awake.

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and... uh, ruin a stupid anecdote. I think that's how it goes...

I just exploded

I wonder if it will be track lengths like Train of Thought, since there are only 6 songs

OH MY GOD! 3 DISC SPECIAL EDITION? HOLY SHIT!!!

"Well let's hope that your attitude is as positive as these test results"

Can't wait!

Killer artwork! Can't wait to start hearing these tunes and see the video!

P90X is freaking awesome!!! BRING IT!!!

I dont want to wait til June!!

I might be wrong, but if the artwork is any indication, im thinking OLD SCHOOL Dream Theater!!!!, freaking awesome!

HOLY SHIT!!!

AWESOME ART!

i just jizzed my pants

My Myspace

Fuck Yes!!!!!!! I am really excited for this, but the only problem will be waiting for a few more months! And another thing is if there are only 6 songs, how long are they? Cause the longer they are, the better! June cannot come soon enough. The only way this could get any better is if they announce a MN date for PN09...

BAM! Hit Em With A Freezepop!

Kinda odd song titles, wich indicate we are still in the realm of fantasy lyrics I guess.  I love the album title though, conjures up interesting images and the artwork works in that direction.

Awesome artwork!!!!!!!!!

And shit, 6 tracks = LONG songs! =D

June 23rd is my birthday, actually. That's why I'm so excited! Apologies if that was unclear.

Yeah baby yeah!  Another masterpiece awaits us!  The album cover rules, the tracklisting rules, and six songs???  This is going to rule.  I don't want time to go any faster, but June 23rd cannot come soon enough. 

Cool.

Wow, I really am spacing out in that case. D'oh!

Holy fuck, I just realized something.

I watched The Number 23 like, 20 minutes ago. I check the forum and, who would guess it?

New album on June 23!!!

Oh, and yeah. The Count of Tuscany is going to be fucking epic. I can smell it already.

Black Holes and Revelations?

I'm not as excited as everybody else here.

I just hope that the "3-disc special edition" will be available for EVERYONE, and not that HUUUGE mess with the S.E. for Chaos In Motion. I remember the stress when I read that the 5 disc edition was "limited"

Six songs? Hell yeah!

Hopefully they aren't all like five minutes though...
