i dont like the sound of the title, it seems to be another ToT album or at least that metallic  but the title reminds me of the 101 prog metal rules: 34. Make sure your bandname is either a a) Oxymoron -Silent Noise -Tender Harshness -Healing Gun b) Some geeky sounding name ripped from some obscure book. -Deitronus -Tarakoch -Fentaran or c) Random combination of at least 2 three-syllable words. -Eternal Twilight Tranquility (Can`t get much progger than that) -Redolent Arithmetic -Evolution of Vernacular Domesticated 35. Don`t worry about if your band name makes any sense or not. Since 90% of your fanbase is from Brazil and Japan, you can safely ignore conventional English grammar and instead focus on what´s really important: The lyrics (see rule 36). ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/dAJaro/?chartstyle=basic10">

| Well.. I don't like it, after majestic title, conclusion Octavarium it seems to me like a useless step back:) I hope the music won't be. |

it's a good title – a typical DREAM THEATER monicker, as it implies the
combination of both disciplined and anarchic structures, that they are always trying to convey – think “six degrees of inner turbulence“ – personally i don't care much and i certainly won't by it. but good luck and to them on the roadrunner label! atlantic/eastwest/warner are obviously not earning enough cash with them...  ------------- progressive rock and rural tranquility don't match. true or false? |

^ I don't think that DT aren't profitable enough for Warner ... I rather think that DT wanted a label that gives them more artistic freedom.

I find the name OK, though the future will reveal whether or not the name fits the content of the album. Not an album title I would expect from Dream Theater, but hey, it's not a bad title in any way. ------------- The scattered jigsaw of my redemption laid out before my eyes Each piece as amorphous as the other - Each piece in its lack of shape a lie

I don't like it one bit. Sounds like some acne ridden teen's myspace name.

I really dont like the name, it seems to be that the next album of DT is going to be quite metallic, and a little of progressive, what a pitty, I hope I will mistake ------------- http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/191/sydbarrettg.jpg/" rel="nofollow">

| It is certainly not as interesting or original a title as Octavarium or Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. It sounds more like a Megadeth album title. But DT could call their album "Sparrow's Farts in Brine" and I would not be put off, because I know that the music will KICK ASS! |

I like the title, I think it sounds cool. But since when did the title mean that this is going to be DT's most metal and heaviest album yet? You can't draw any conclusions from the title because you haven't heard the music. Train of Thought sounds like a much more intellectual title, and then you hear how heavy the music is (not to bash Train of Thought). All I'm saying is please don't make any premature assertions about an album you haven't heard yet. |

You can usually gain some information about a bands genre from titles. I'm not saying it's full proof but with an album title like "He Has Left Us Alone But Shafts Of Light Sometimes Grace the Corner of Our Rooms" you may think the album is post rock. Or a band nammed The Plastic People of the Universe, you can probably guess to be Avant. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall.

Wait until a track list is confirmed, then we can have best track name of the new album polls.

| It sounds like they are trying to appeal to metal-heads and intellectuals simultaneously. I don't care for it, but obviously it's of no consequence if the material is good. |

I don't like it. I also think it has nothing to do with the music which probably will be great.  -------------

This is true; as far as I know, a lot of their work went Gold, which is surely profitable enough.

Yeah... mostly I hate those titles.. But this name is still quite good - if DT don't title next albums like that. Systematic Chaos is somehow genius, but after all maybe not. But ironic, and good thing is that it can descripe the music. And it's not so stupidly intertaxtual, like Octavarium. Both systematic and chaos are pretty scary words.
Could be better, but i don't dislike it much, so I like it. -------------
