I was ecstatic to hear this info recently. June can't get here soon enough!

 

[fool_in_paradise]

Certainly can't! June 23rd is the day after my birthday so i'll be getting myself the triple disc edition of this as a present. I'm also going to see them on 13th June so i'm really hyped up for this release.

 

[Symphony]

Yeah...looking forward to this as always. they are in Southampton I think on June 13th...so i'll be there!

 

[Andiferum]

Very much looking forward to this! Hopefully they'll be back on form once they've lost the 'Roadrunner bug'

 

[Symphony]

Only 120 tickets left at lunchtime on friday for the Southampton show!

 

[Andiferum]

Fuck. Doesn't look like I'll be there, then.

 

[Dan W]

Just purchased a standing ticket from ticketmaster for the Southampton show

Thought I might miss out cos only just found out today

 

[Symphony]

Really looking forward to this show......providing the notorious Guildhall acoustics don't throw a spanner in the works..lol!

 

[Andiferum]

Well, I'm ticketless. So looks like I'm out of this one.

 

[fool_in_paradise]

Really looking forward to this show......providing the notorious Guildhall acoustics don't throw a spanner in the works..lol!

Yeah should be a good gig, my first time seeing Dream Theater so i hope the acoustics don't spoil things too much. That reminds me i still have to arrange transport for this will do though, there's no way i'm missing this

 

[Andiferum]

I've only seen Dream Theater once. But it was supporting Iron Maiden. Needless to say: I was very happy.

MP3 download of 'A Rite of Passage'

Video to follow shortly apparently!

 

[fool_in_paradise]

That song is really good, but then it's DT so i wasn't expecting any less This album looks to be a bit more balanced in terms of heavy and light sections to the songs even though has a lot more of a gothic element. From what i've read and heard of samples on youtube it seems very much like this will be reviewed as 'the best album since Train of Thought'
I like every album though so it's all good for me

 

[Dan W]

To download or not to download that is the question

Have preordered the album, and getting it regardless. But since I'm going to see them there is a strong chance they might play new stuff and it would be good to have an idea of the song

 

[devilsrule2004]

I would wait.. will make it more of a surprise for u..

 

[Symphony]

Well I'm waiting...I don't want to hear anything from the album until I get it in my hands and take it home! Old school I know......lol!

 

[1928]

Can't wait for that 3 CD set, it's going to be amazing...

 

[Symphony]

Yeah...Southampton show tomorrow!!

 

[Andiferum]

I dislike you, Steve.
