Meh. At least it's not insanely stupid like their previous one two three.

Especially the last one... I think I hate it more than any other album cover

Excited!
The titles sound a bit more 'boring' to me than the titles of the songs from the last couple of albums (The Count of Tuscany, On the Backs of Angels, etc). Anyway, we also know thanks to a Roadrunner Podcast that one of the songs goes for over 20 minutes; I'm assuming that that song is the last track.

The logo is "Dream Theater" in that crazy font that most of their albums sport. The Majesty symbol is what's on the new cover art. But that's what it's always looked like, it's just really shiny now.

It doesn't justify laziness and a lack of artistic interest for me. Might as well put a giant 12 in the background. |
But Black Sabbath already did "13", so DT wouldn't wanna look like copycats.
Guys, you have no appreciation for simpler cover artwork? IMO, the song titles seem proggier than usual.
What's weird is the lack of the DT logo.
|
Copycats?? They copied Circus Maximus 1st Chapter album guy on the unicycle for ADTOE, almost to the pixel  . I also stared at the silver DT logo too......it does not look right  |
Well, that's another story...
I was talking about the lack of the DT logo, not the Majesty symbol, which yea does look weird.

The DT logo is on the back of the picture.....turn your screen around

I'll take the new artwork for DT12 over the clown on a tightrope somehow tied 3500 feet in the air.

It's iconic and is better because of the text and fading of colors. Still not big fan or anything..
Time and a Word is cool though. Nothing over-the-top or classic like Fragile.
I'd take the clown over both though :3

Close To the Edge is actual artwork, at least the lettering is. This DT picture is a CGI of a planet and a weird DT logo......although I suppose the "x" and III = 13....but there are 2 X's in the logo = 23?? The songs better kick a$$ from this talented group.

Yes that's the artwork for this landmark album!!!!!111
You see my point?
Calling it simple doesn't excuse it's quality lol. There are plenty of artworks that are very simple but are equally potent or visually interesting. This one is neither.

Who cares about the artwork.....the middle songs sound like songs from Octavarium.
All I know is it needs to be a killer album for them to save some face.....and yes I will buy it and if they come to Seattle next year I will go.
