Gompers Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 http://www.progrockm...d-tracklisting/ http://www.progrockmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/album_610_340.jpgUS prog rockers Dream Theater have revealed the cover art for their new album, simply entitled Dream Theater, due to be released on Roadrunner Records on September 23. Says guitarist John Petrucci about Dream Theater, “I see every new album as an opportunity to start over. To either build or improve upon a direction that has been evolving over time or to completely break new ground. This is the first self-titled album of our career and there is nothing I can think of that makes a statement of musical and creative identity stronger than that. We’ve fully explored all of the elements that make us unique, from the epic and intense to the atmospheric and cinematic. We’re incredibly excited about Dream Theater and can’t wait for everyone to hear it.” Produced by the guitarist and engineered and mixed by Richard Chycki at Cover City Studio in Glen Cove, Long Island, the new album is the first that new drummer Mike Mangini has had a hand in the writing process. “When people hear the drumming on this album, they’re gonna be pretty freaked out,” adds Petrucci. “On the last album, he did a great job, but he wasn’t there for the writing process and he was interpreting drum parts that I had programmed. Even though he used his creativity, of course, to change them up and do his thing, I feel like now he’s just Mike Mangini unleashed. It’s all him. It’s all his creativity, all his decisions and ideas and man, the guy’s an animal.”The full tracklisting of Dream Theater is: 1. False Awakening Suitei. Sleep Paralysis ii. Night Terrors iii. Lucid Dream2. The Enemy Inside3. The Looking Glass4. Enigma Machine5. The Bigger Picture6. Behind The Veil7. Surrender To Reason8. Along For The Ride9. Illumination Thoeryi. Paradoxe de la Lumiere Noire ii. Live, Die , Kill iii. The Embracing Code iv. The Pursuit Of Truth v. Surrender, Trust & Passion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I could be wrong, but The Bigger Picture and Along for the Ride sound like Petrucci´s lyrics. And judging by some of the other titles, it seems John Myung has started to contribute a little bit more with lyrics. I can definitely see the man who wrote "Lifting Shadows of a Dream being the author of Behind The Veil and/or Surrender To Reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Eh, not crazy about that art but I'm super stoked about this album. That is ONE uninspired cover art.But like you, I´m very excited about what the new album will bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Album covers really don't mean that much anymore when you consider we live in a world where people don't buy physical copies of albums like they used to. Still, i'm very much looking forward to the album, it is Dream Theater after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Boring artwork and title, interesting song list. Why didn't they call the album False Awakening? Or...Illumination Theory? Or Enigma Machine? All better than just calling it Dream Theater... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I'd rather an album with a dull wank cover with colourful, vibrant music over an album with a colourful, vibrant cover with dull wank music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spindrift82 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I thought the artwork was lame, but I have a good feeling about the music. After the last two albums, they are on a roll musically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
