@Jim:

Me too, I'm anxious to hear Dweezel.

One thing I hate about seeing them with this many bands is they play a short set. I've always enjoyed the shows that they play 2+ hours. I saw the last Progressive Nation show and they were spectacular--as normal.

I just went to DT's My Space page and saw the song Forsaken has 1+ million listens--not bad for a band most people have never head of.

@Eric:

I first heard DT back in like '88 when a buddy turned me on to "When Dream And Day Unite." I remember when I first heard "Pull Me Under" on the radio, I said "Damn, that sounds like DT, but with a different singer." I never really expected DT to be on the radio at the time, because they were still very unknown.

I've been following them ever since.

If you liked Images And Words (which is still probably may favorite from them--it's certainly my most listened to album of all time,) then I'd recommend checking out "Scenes From A Memory" (aka Metropolis Pt 2.) It's concept album and a fantastic album all around--probably my 2nd most listened to DT album.

I'll be seeing Dream Theater in the middle of June at the Download Festival in the UK, along with bands like Opeth, Faith No More (they've reformed!), and others... It'll be the week before the album lands (man I can't wait for that BTW) so I hope they play some new stuff! Will be my 2nd DT gig too, it should be awesome fun :)

Good to see another DT release..  Also releasing in June is the new Chickenfoot CD...

Yeah buddy. .this is the first time i send a comment 4 this blog. .i'm from indonesia. .
I liked DT when i was in junior high scholl. .i knew it from my friend. ."pull me under" is the first song i've listened at that time an i'm not so interested,but after i studied in senior highschool. .i knew "Spirit Carries On" and i think this song was very amazing. .so,since that time i like DT,although many of my friends and my guitar's theacher didn't like DT at all, but i still like DT. .and about this tenth album. .i'm sure that this will be a great masterpiece. .but, i'm worried if in my country there is no DT album sells. .
If the condition like that. .can you give those DT album for me? I really want to have it,.thx. .reppy my comments

@dtcoop:

Oh yeah, I meant Constant Motion... That's the problem with rarely ever paying attention to song titles. :)

i hope that the new album will be more progressive and less metal,,, systematich chaos is a good album but i think that Dt actually is going to another style ... sorry.. semi-poor english .__.

Excited for this album!

Mabuhay from Philippines!

This record is freaking awful of course the public will love it cuz they stuck with the "Dream Theater" formula at least through Train of Thought. It has "classic bits" here in there but there are also many overtures to other bands like Rush (Best of Times, Count of Tuscany), Metallica (Shattered Fortress riffs), and Opeth (A Nightmare to Remember - the entire stupid song). Dream Theater feels like a cover band now. They rip off so many bands' ideas and have nothing original since 1999's Scenes from A Memory. Thats the past decade devoid of any albums save a song here or there. They increasing frustrating to listen to like Pearl Jam, Radiohead and Tool. Its like the equivalent of Star Wars, Star Trek, Terminator, Spiderman, Batman and all those stupid movie franchises. You will always find mistakes for what it is. They will never achieve the greatness of the original band when Kevin Moore was still there 15 years ago for his last album, Awake.
