Nothing beats new DT!
Except the mighty Ziltoid.
So f* right!
Couldn’t have said it better myself!
HYPE SO BIG OMFG
I wonder if the studio album releases before or after the first live concerts.. Would be kinda cool to hear the entire album live first:)
January 29th!
So hyped for this one!!
Just. Can’t. Wait.
3rd track – The Gift of Music has leaked.
The new song is amazing i want this so much omg.!!! it´s going to be so awesome!!
Changed the release date to the 29th of January, since that is the official date according to the Rolling Stone article. So a few less days to wait:)

Pre-purchase is available now.
they got the mastered album, so it’s finished, maybe we can expect some leaks in the near future
I doubt it. Most albums nowdays, specially with big companies like Roadrunner, only leaked on release week.
Avantasia has leaked and that’s out on the same day….
Aye, but it’s Dream Theater and Roadrunner record we are talking about…
Also, as I’ve just read, apparently that album leaked because some mistake with Spotify, so that’s a rare thing.
Like everyone else, I presume, I’m REALLY looking forward to this album.
The albums have been good so far,
But this is the biggest test follow Portnoy’s departure. At least this is how I think.
ALBUM BE GOOD!
I guess it could be any time very soon. Some smaller sites seem to have posted their reviews, so it def is out there
Let’s hope
Don’t get your hopes up. Those are advanced copies specially made for those reviewers. Those contain different watermarks in each copy ans with that they can identify who leaked it. I don’t think anyone wants to lose their job or be sued. The leaks usually come from the copies that arrive in stores during release week.
But every (major) record company does that to their albums, and still do albums leak all the time
waiting =D
I am mega hyped !!!!!!!!!!!!
JR and JP will be on Eddie Trunk’s show tonight for quite some time, maybe debuting an new track? (Getting desperated for some new DT musicxD)
Eddie Trunk has quite the history of debuting or breaking new news/music, thats why I’m hoping for it. But don’t pin me down on that!:p
HYPE!
My life is built by dream theater! I need this!! I need The text they give! I need The rythm they only can give…my patience is exhausted
1 day 2 days? Somebody knows how long we must Wait? /Marcus
did someone get the chance to record Moment of Betrayal?
I didn’t record or post this but someone did. It may be gone because YouTube, but here is Moment of Betrayal.

new song is pretty awful
Said no one ever.
i don’t know what to thing onestly, this two track has something already heard, nothing new
I think that we must wait to hear the full album. Two songs, are not enough to give a final veredict, in my opinion of course.
yes of course, i was just saying about the two songs
@bloodmod, first i think they never used to show us the best of their albums on a single, and honestly this 2 tracks aro so far better than almost all dream theater album, and i love dream theater album, i think this full album will be epic, like Images And Words and Scenes From a Memory togheter.
The second song is?
\m/
Those 2 songs are amazing in my opinion.. gift of music has a very light take where they explore some nice melodies and it has a freaking killer background choir and the 2nd one i really like the heavy parts..specially the drums and the solo
the video of moment of betrayal in the post.. are you sure you can post that? it’s not a official release
