Hemispheres4Echo Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 John Petrucci wrote this on his Facebook page yesterday: Hope everyone's summer has been awesome! Had a great time on DT's Euro festival run and we continue to work real hard on the new album. Couldn't be happier with the way it's coming out! Will have news to share very soon. Got some really cool announcements coming in the next couple of months as well. Lots of things in development. Enjoy the rest of the summer! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New_World_Man Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I've heard a few albums by them over the years. I'd say maybe 1/3 of their output or so. I honestly do not like Falling into Infinity much but I actually do like Train of thought(even though I'm more of a prog head than a metal head). I lost track of them after ToT though. I seriously need to check them out again. I saw some live stuff from one of their recent tours(possibly their first post Portnoy tour)on tv and actually liked it quite a bit.

RUSHHEAD666 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Do I smell a concept album? ...or their own RPG? And you guys think that GHOST is pure CHEESE? Cheese And Rice man! Give me a break! This band has totally lost it. Not even old Bluebeard can save them now. The key"bored" player in Dream Theater has seriously ruined it all. Pure EGO mixed with overplaying on the ebony and ivory. Michael Jordan "Rude"ess is a joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) I have to say it's a bold move to play a new album in its entirety...even more so before it's even released! Agreed. At least they play their new stuff though. A lot of bands who have been around as long as them rely on the old stuff live and don't bother with much new material. Which makes you wonder why some of them even come out with new stuff? At least play half the album live to justify the release. I was thinking that about Judas Priest the other day. They came out with a great top to bottom 13 song album last year and they only play three or four songs off it? What a waste, why bother recording so much new material if you're not gonna showcase it more? Edited November 2, 2015 by J2112YYZ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) And so it begins…our new album is entitled The Astonishing, and we cannot wait to share it with you early next year!

Entre_Perpetuo Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Anyone else recently receive an e-mail about this cryptic concept they convinced me to sign up for? I,m starting to regret my decision to join the Great Northern Empire, seeing a lot of 2112 parallels in the e-mail and I know which side is better based on that.

Entre_Perpetuo Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I received it, but neglected it. What is it about? It's appears to be a fictional message from the fictional empire ruling over the fictional North America (oh wait, that one's not fictional) in the fictional future, advising all citizens of said empire not to join with rebellious forces or to be enticed by any of their sonic pleasures, but rather to keep working for the empire so that the empire will work for them. Like I said, 2112 parallels, starting to wish I'd picked the rebellion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Just found out this news and for some odd reason it got me so excited I will just post my thoughts: Not a big DT fan. But this looks OTT barmy. I want the crazy side! I need crazy! It got me so excited I had to share.
