Segue Myles Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 New Dream Theater, Tremonti, Trivium and Iron Maiden before November? Take my money! All these bands new stuff has me moist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Probably have to get another one of those art books to get everything I need. Holding off on buying tickets until I get better idea of where this Covid thing is going. Normally Dream Theater tickets would be a no brainer but not this year. You are justified to be concerned large gatherings may not be a thing for much longer at the rate delta is spreading and degree of sickness it's causing compared to the original. We'll see. Too many unknowns at this point but maybe more will be known in November and I might get to see them anyway. Saw Jordan Rudess in June and that seemed to go well. Kind of regret getting Neal Morse tickets for October, but we'll see how that goes too. Live Nation said yesterday that they will require proof of vaccination or a negative covid test for all concerts in the US. I don't know if that will cover your Dream Theater show but at least they're trying to do something to make people feel ok going to shows again. We'll see. The timing isn't looking great...even for Neal Morse now which I got tickets before things started heading south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I haven't even listened, but ordered the artbook and bluray package just for the 5.1 mix, which they tend to do fairly well. I'm avoiding everything until the artbook arrives. Should probably order relatively soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) I didn't like this one as much as the alien. got heavy Dramatic turn of Events vibes off it. that said i still think this is the best this era has ever sounded on record. and i'm glad James is using that lower register more and no longer killing himself. this is probably gonna be a grower.

J2112YYZ Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I don't find the new song to be anything special. Sounds to me like one of those songs that will sound better in the context of the album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I like both singles so far, but don't love them. But do I have tickets to see Dream Theater in November? Hell yeah!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to me like one of those songs that will sound better in the context of the album. my thoughts exactly i've heard it about 4 times still boring. but that's no indication of anything. the first song excited me way more though......still does.

The Analog Cub Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 The Alien was fantastic. Invisible Monster is pretty good but let's be real, their "singles" like Invisible Monster are never the finest bits. Looking forward to the rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Why does James look so angry in this interview? http://youtu.be/vCoiAWQigP4 Like, Mike's cracking a few jokes at the beginning, and everyone seems to respond except James. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) Tour postponed to next year due to covid concerns. I guess they're just not quite ready to get back out there even though many tours and sporting events are back to full capacity. https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/dream-theater-postpones-north-american-tour-due-to-covid-19-concerns/ Edited September 27, 2021 by J2112YYZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they do come back I'm sure they'll sell out after being away for so long, and with a new album to promote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 It's amazing these guys can put out new music so frequently. Been waiting for over a decade for a new King's X album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it the fact that musically King's X doesn't really have a mass appeal quality to them like Dream Theater does? I think King's X was a much harder band to market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King's X definitely has the chops for mass appeal, but they've leaned into some odd musical choices over the years. The lack of a promotion machine behind them after the Dogman era certainly is a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
