DT in the studio again!

[Kotowboy]

Will this do, Rob ?

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

Pretty awesome! 

[Kotowboy]

5 minutes that took

It's not that hard is it Hugh?

[bosk1]

Meh.  Looks like a Circus Maximum rip-off.

[CodyWanKenobi]

Meh.  Looks like a Circus Maximum rip-off.

I was gonna say Transatlantic.

I was looking for Kevin Costner

dreamtheater.net is official.

Now I feeling the album art is going to be purple. Not a bad color.

It's purple just like the MP forum. Does that mean?

I like purple. They haven't really done it before.

[Perpetual Change]

WWRD

[Lucien]

Purple would be a great colo(u)r.

[tartarus250]

Probably a test for tomorrow

maybe it's the test that stumped them all!!

[Lucien]

Here's a nice interview: https://loudwire.com/jordan-rudess-new-dream-theater-album-tour-plans-more/

For Immediate Release :-

Dream Theater release their Twelfth Studio Album for Roadrunner Records.

" Like Clockwork " will be released on September 24th. Featuring the mini documentary

" The Drama Carries On..." a follow up to the search for a replacement drummer which ultimately resulted in the hiring of Mike Mangini.

The 36 minute documentary features behind the scenes in the studio footage and interviews with all the band members.

Special Bonus Feature !!! If you believe all this then I apologise !

Is this legit?

[rumborak]

Did you read the last sentence?

[Ruba]

Purple would be a great colo(u)r.

Purple, lilac, darkest blue
The answer's been right in front of you

[ResultsMayVary]

Did you read the last sentence?

I was hoping someone would at least chuckle at it. Of course I read it. 

[fadetoblackdude7]

"Like Clockwork" is the name of the new Queens Of The Stone Age album. Just sayin.....

[Kotowboy]

"Like Clockwork" is the name of the new Queens Of The Stone Age album. Just sayin.....

I was referencing the whole What Would Rush Do thing... plus the fact that the art was taken from the Clockwork Angels booklet.

Also the fact they release albums every two years without fail

Great pick on the title. I laughed out loud after reading that part and also "The Drama Carries On." 

[DreamerTV]

I didn't get a pop-up.  I want a pop-up.

Seems like it has been removed. Ready to have that incredible announcement being just about the album coming out on september 24th, tomorrow at 5pm?

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

It probably was a mistake by someone, it's not there anymore.

[GasparXR]

I didn't get a pop-up.  I want a pop-up.

Go to the celebrity crush thread

[atmyne]

aaaaaaaaaand i'm back on these forums just as the hype for the upcoming album is accumulating

I can confirm the popup! I can't get it again though, so yeah they've probably removed it.

[Lucien]

Yeah, it's been removed. Two pictures exist of the popup though, so BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU TEST, DREAM THEATER. THE FANS ARE ALWAYS WATCHING (and waiting.)

I just want the album title/tracklist

[The Stray Seed]

I can confirm the popup! I can't get it again though, so yeah they've probably removed it.

Same here.

[wasteland]

I hope we will get something more tomorrow, but I'm not positive. You know, if this was an early trigger for a popup to be shown starting tomorrow it would have likely featured the album title had such an information been scheduled to go public at the time.

[Perpetual Change]

Well, knowing the official DT site, it's probably supposed to be up now and just isn't work properly

[dparrott]

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD

As a web developer, it was probably a test that the popup and picture worked as planned.  Lucien just happened to go to the site at the right time.

[atmyne]

would they really test it on an active server? (I know nothing of web development). Kevin Moore hacked the site i'm calling it!
also I would expect that they will reveal information a little sooner than they had planned if they knew that information had leaked(?)

[pierre59172]

Who's planning for a concept album ?

[GasparXR]

What if the purple shiny Majesty logo that we see IS the album cover? What if the new album is called "Majesty"? The album could very well be majestic-sounding, and I think it was confirmed/semi-confirmed that there is an orchestra in the studio with DT, so that could hint at the adjective of "majestic".

[Kotowboy]

Yeah, it's been removed. Two pictures exist of the popup though, so BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU TEST, DREAM THEATER. THE FANS ARE ALWAYS WATCHING (and waiting.)

I just want the album title/tracklist

I got a screen cap too.

Thanks!

Here is a snippet from the interview:

Dream Theater are back working on new music and have been for a while. Just wanted to see how things are progressing toward the next album.

JR: We're doing very well. We're kind of in the homestretch of the whole thing. I was just finishing some keyboard tracks and we have some more things to do, but we're definitely looking at the finish line at this point.

You've got one album cycle under the belt with [drummer] Mike Mangini and he had to get up to speed with that last record, but how's he progressing within the framework of the band?

JR: Having Mike in the room with us as we were doing the writing and everything was such a wonderful thing. The man has such a strong energy and such a great player that it made a big difference to our process to have him there, have him contributing ideas.

The way I see it is like, he's such a specialist in his area. He's got such a rhythm math brain and that addition to what Dream Theater already has in the composition department was so cool, 'cause we've been able to do things I've never done before. There's some stuff on the album that I'll rhythmically is very, very cool.

With a new piece to the puzzle, does it give you a renewed sense of energy at this point in the band's career?

JR: Oh for sure. Anyone who's heard this album or stopped by the studio, you've just got to smile at the drumming, it's so outrageous. He does some fills that are like, 'Oh my God!' (laugh) I can't help but almost like laugh."
