Just another "all they ever do is play in ****ed-up time and shred" guy, most likely. :-/

when is the new cd coming out -?

Like June 10th or something.

june 7th

God... the album cover is pretty bad imo. Oh well. I don't particulary care, I can't wait for the album.

I'd like the new album to come out on the 7th, since that's my birthday :cool:. They're doing something different than ToT right? Not to say ToT is a bad album or anything.

Looking at that cover, I don't think it's real, or it's not done yet atleast. Here's my reasoning:

I think the black part is hiding something were not supposed to see. I've also read a post on teh DT forum that said that maybe it was the back cover and that the black part is hiding the track list, and the track times.

Oh and look at [URL=http://www.dreamtheater.net/news_dreamtheater.php#octavarium]this[/URL] , it clearly shows that it's not fake. But, I don't think its finished.

Yeah, that cover is pretty bad. It may improve a lot since it isn't finished though. I'll be disapointed if the album cover looks almost just like that. That doesn't mean, however, that the album will be bad. I'm expecting good things from it, and hopefully a new sound.

^ Well spotted @ Otherside

It's not too great a cover (if it is real).

Hopefully the music will rock though.

I am only a recent Dream Theater fan, and i must say, i have been missing out! I think the album is going to be great, i just cant wait! wow i rhyme all the time!! oh, im a poet and i didn't know it?? Sorry, i just had to!

ANy leaks yet.

I don't think the cover is that great. But are those birds the ones from ToT?

No you didn't, you could've just said what you had to say and not been a loser about it.

I'm downloading the cd now, i found all except one song, so far the only song i finished dowloading was "The Root of All Evil", i would describe it as Dream Theater doing thrash metal, sort of like old school metallica but heavier and with way better solos. The riffs themselves on this song aren't really technical at all, but the solos in it are pretty awesome as usual. Its heavier than anything they have ever done, heavier than TOT by far. Its good stuff.

Listen to "crucify", the first song off James Labrie's "element of persuation. That's what you heard.

And read [URL=http://www.dreamtheater.net/bb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=75206]this[/URL] before saying you heard Octavarium.

can't wait for the new album

I love all their stuff since rudess started playing keyboards. they were good before him, but I think he really matured the sound of the band.

Petrucci is my new idol.

btw, did anyone read about what CoB's guitarist said about John Petrucci in Guitar World?

little upstart. :angry:

If you read the DT board, LaBrie describes Octavarium as "is an atmosphere's album with deep prog roots, halfway from "Images And Words", "Awake" and "Scenes from a memory". A Heavy album with big sounds and emotions, maybe our greatest album ever!"

This ought to be interesting

Petrucci > Alexi...

I've been listening/watching a live version of The Glass Prison from Japan on their '02 tour. It pwns. I can't wait to go to the Gigantour if it comes to Philly.

Still talking about this :lol:

Gigantour should come to Philly, Blackmail the Universe was there... and I saw the Electric Factory show.

I was going to go to the Philly show back in November, but I didn't get tickets in time. :\

That sucks, you missed a hell of a concert.

/has new album

/is listening to the new album

Somehow, I highly doubt you have the new album.
