Yes, Neil has commented that the thrust of the songs so far have a musically "spiritual" thrust to them.  Let me tell you, it is indeed okay to be pessimistic about the new Rush album if there is any inkling that it could resemble the absolutely horrid audio production of Vapor Trails.  There is no better example of great songs butchered by botched production procedures.  This is all, of course, in me umble opinion.

	Taken from the DT.net forums: "Last night Mike Portnoy was on a New York Classic Rock station and had an interview with Eddie Trunk. For those of us poor souls who had to use radio-stream, the interview was cut off and replaced with country music Here's what a member on the MP Message Boards said who actually heard the entire thing: All right,here's the scoop. Mike and the boys in DT have been in the studio for a month already and half of the album is done! So expect the new album to be out in April/May of 2007 with a summer tour to follow. He's also planning on doing another side project but it won't be a prog,classic rock,or tribute project,it'll be a METAL project. He always wanted to do one but always got side tracked. He plans on doing this project with members of Opeth and Porcupine Tree but that's still in the talk process. If u remember Mike had a little feud with Geoff Tate and that's now "water under the bridge." Whatever was said between them was just blown out of proportion so they're cool with each other. They would love to tour with each other again,hope it happens. That's all for DT. Now to Rush. They r in the studio right working on their new album as well. It will sound like 2002's "Vapor Trails" and lyrics came from a "spiritcial" influence on a motorcycle journey Neil made while chronicaling his new book. Expect new Rush maybe around the same time as new DT. Also,starting October 30th,you can buy a special "30th Anniversary Commemorative" drum kit. It's the exact same kit Neil used on the 30th anniversary tour complete with drums,cymbals,hardware,& sticks. Only 30 kits will be made and it's exclusively through Guitar Center. Phew,ok I'm done." Color me pessimistic, but I don't have a good feeling about these new DT and Rush albums.
