Digging the Art work... very much... very good....

 

 

I cannot find official confirmation, but the Wikipedia page is listing the artwork as a Hugh Syme (Who designed the artwork for Octavarium, Systematic Chaos.. as well as almost all of the artwork for some 1970s Canadian rock band as well wink.gif ) piece

 

 

It looks like his handiwork.. Loving it!

 

 

The artwork, while not exact reminds me of the Awake artwork.

I hope the album marks a return to traditional Prog. I still can not get into SC. If it turns out to be like Awake, I will be very happy. However, without Moore's moodiness, it is unlikely. Octavarium was the closest Rudess could come to a match, but it still had some cheese. Case in point how Rudess ruins a song by overplaying. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGk5aUDntwY

Yup...that's exactly what I thought of too. It has AWAKE written all over it. 1022.gif

2009 marks the 15th anniversary of Awake smile.gif

Im betting "A Nightmare to Remember" is the finale to the AA suite.

just my guess

I'm putting my money on "The Shattered Fortress" as the AA Suite finale. To me it references "The Glass Prison" being broken, also the shattered bottle by the boy in front of the door. The boy could even be a reference to MP himself, being reborn again free of alcoholism.

 

I turned around, saw a light shining through

The door was wide open

 

Cannot wait for this album, everything i've seen so far is epic! 1022.gif
