I know don't judge a book by it's cover, but... the songs seem to have the same cheesy naming scheme of the less than stellar songs off of Systematic Chaos. Still going to buy it though

 

[AySay]

Yeah the names kinda make me worry a little, especially The Count Of Tuscany....WTF is that? However, I can never hate anything DT puts out, even though SC wasn't too great.

I think JP's been hanging out with Mike Romeo to much.

Sounds like an epic prog album is coming

I wonder which song is Part 55 of Portnoy's ongoing Al-Anon epic?

 

[Æxitosus]

just reading that made me jizz my pants

The Shattered Fortress. It's the last part.

The Shattered Fortress. It's the last part.

Does this mean he's going to start drinking again?

I've come around a bit lately on Systematic Chaos and am looking forward to this album more than I thought I would.

 

[Curt-Platt]

im impressed with the song legnth. no way can you judge a book by its cover though, regardless of a song name its still a good song no matter what name is has.

Here's hoping it delivers.

Yep, it's gotta be.

I'm really looking forward to this, Dt's best songs are definately they're longer ones imo, hopefully this will also deliver.

 

[Xiphos68]

19 minutes, one song!

 

[Zehailiu]

Pfft, I thought their best was a 60 min song disguised as a normal album.

I open my window, a breeze rolls in...

Well, I liked systematic chaos. But, If you look online, you can find streams of the first two tracks and I must say... godly.

It will not be a letdown to anyone, I assure you. I have been listening to a Nightmare to Remember like... every time I drive. And A Rite of passage is unbelievable. These lyrics are sooo good it's not even a joke. I get the chills from these songs.

I can't wait for the shattered fortress. I love the Twelve-step suite.

"Wither" sounds pretty bad ass by the name, so it better have some 7 stringing on there, sounds heavyish by the name
