      This thread reminds me how back around the Awake days I use to show people Live In Tokyo all the time.  It was interesting how many people couldn't get past their look--MP in tights and the general 80's hair band look and all.  They couldn't concentrate on the music, they were just constantly talking about the hair.  I was like, "Really, you can't even appreciate that drum solo, or the tightness of 'Fortune In Lies' because of how they look?"  Not saying people here are like that, it's just funny to me how hung up people get on appearance.  I guess that's why Justin Timberlake is more famous than DT.

      As far as this promo pic goes, it's pretty cool--very much old-school DT.  With wedding rings. ; )

        I see that shot of JLB...what he's ready to say is:

        "Draw!"

        Badass-looking pic, no doubt.  Can't wait to hear the music.

                what is that song again.........oh yeah "Never Enough". Everytime DT does something be it a CD,DVD,Picture, or Tour people have to be so critical. We should be so lucky to have a band that is willing to do some pretty cool things for their fans.
                It could be a ton worse. DT could be like QR and lie to us all the time and treat us like a piece of crap instead of the people who give them an outlet to make music.
                I'm sorry but I'm tired of always seeing these posts every time something new comes from the DT camp.

                Amen, brotha!

                  Being part of the Mickey Mouse club at such a young age, followed by joining the biggest boy band in the world, followed by releasing two huge solo albums on much bigger record labels is probably the answer to that question.

                        Maybe they'll do another promo pic that's brighter to portray the silver linings theme?


                        yes and it will be a pic with the 5 guyz naked on a silver bed and with a rosebud in their mouth. Could u imagine it?

                        The only thing that I want to say about the pic is that I want to kill the hairdresser...he had ruined my Shirley Temple Mike. just this.

                          It's not about how they look, it's about what the picture represents.
                          It isn't actually just 5 guys standing there.
                          What are they saying with their faces? What's the colour and the shape of the picture really communicating? What emotions do the colours and shapes convey? Is it inconsistent and unstable thematically or is it focused and intense? Dull and blunt, or sharp and convoluted? Think about it.

                          Am I over-analysing? I don't think so, I think these are things the photographer would have wanted to communicate. Alot of thought goes into this sort of design stuff, and for the moment this and the cover art is all we really have until an actual song is released... So to write it off as unimportant and trivial is more offensive and ignorant than saying how it makes you feel, IMO.

                          Yes, it might be unfair to make judgements and to have pre-conceived ideas about the music based on this picture...
                          But it's not really a stretch to make assumptions. And this is a discussion board... So I think as long as it's done respectfully we should be able to say what the picture makes us feel and what it represents and how that affects our anticipation of the album.

                              I think they should've had Myung dress in an all silver outfit and kept everyone else in all black.
                               
                              That would have been epic.

                                    Are you suggesting the shots look similar? Apart from the background being clouds and the guys are standing up, I really can't see any similarities.

                                      Actually I find it kinda ironic, that their hairstyles are extremely similar to what they were in the ACoS days.

                                        Well, I posted the same thing earlier in this thread so yeah I do.  First thing I thought of, a dark acos photo and I thought it looked old school DT.  There wearing all black, and there hair is long.  Only difference is the clouds are dark.
                                         
                                        I think it's a great photo, I can't believe how people are reacting to this.  It's a freakin picture.

                                          These guys just look awesome and that's all there is to it.  Nuff said.

                                            Yeah, everyone gets older someday...
                                            Anyway, nice shot! Looks like the "dark side" of Dream Theater is coming back...

                                            For all I have seen so far, I think Black Clouds & Silver Linings will sound something like a mix of all preceding albums. Can't wait for it!
                                            And of course, can't wait to see the band perfoming in Brazil again!

                                                  i think it kicks ass, and it goes very well with the album cover

                                                    So Dream Theater finally looks like a buncha badass Metalheads, and people are crying and complaining? HAHA! Go whack off over your posters of Yes, Genesis, Kansas, Spocks Beard, and Marillion.

I mean they look better and younger then ever. MP is aging backwards for fuck sakes.

                                                      Did anyone else ever think that maybe the interpretation for "Silver Linings" might be graying of the hairs (a nugde to "aging"). Maybe "Black Clouds" can symbol scars in one's life.


                                                      Maybe, I think that's a cool way to look at it.
                                                      ...and even if it takes a lifetime to learn,
                                                      I'll learn.

                                                        The fun thing is that this is just one out of six promo shots.
                                                        The others haven´t gone public yet. So don´t judge from one. Cuz all of their music has been so inspiring and will continue to be so!

                                                              Well, Stevetheater published those at JR´s forum but they got removed by wey. Cuz they weren´t supposed to get public yet. So I´ll guess we just have to wait until the others!

                                                                          What I get from THE MAN's post is:
                                                                          - This is a picture showing how they look like nowadays, and that's how they are comfortable.
                                                                          - Their look, their music, etc..., all that belong to them.

                                                                          Personally, I only care about their music. I leave the comments of "They look cool", "They look hot", "They look gothic", "They look like pirats" for the girls and for guys that are into that!

                                                                          Sometimes it's frustrating how some people overanalyze every single little detail.
                                                                          I can't imagine the frustration of Mike, JP, JR, JLB and JMX when they read all the crap some people write here (probably also this :P)

                                                                          If you guys read this, there are some grateful people out here that are waiting the new material, that not write very often, people from far places and with other languages, that support the art you create. 

                                                                          Now let's get ready for the job on the road: You guys performing and changing lives, and we fans, buying the record, chanting, screaming, clapping and headbanging in the concerts!!!

                                                                          With respect.
