Honestly, I think they should dedicate their ninth studio album to the closing series of their AA-inspired piece ("The Glass Prison," "This Dying Soul," and "The Root of All Evil") by having the concluding installment be just one long conceptual release. I'm sure I'm alone in this suggestion, but personally I think it'd be somewhat of a decent album . . . then again, I liked "Octavarium."

I doubt it IMO, their style of wrighting has changed an awful lot since I&W, so I cant see their next album being anything like it.

The new album will be more melodic, progressive and technically more exceptional according to Jordan Rudess.

It would be nice to open a section of "unreal prog" in this website



Nice one. I did a whole biography and discography for a band called Zava some 20 years ago, but the material got lost one of the times I moved to a new house....

Somwhere I have a Photoshop thingy I created of the double album by an invented band that an online friend and I used to discuss in music forums just to confuse people. They were called Eminent Domain, the album is Anonymously Eponymous. The only track name I remember was the single (first track, side two) called Pyramid Chambermaid, which I envisioned as some sort of T Rexy Glam Rock/Pop shouter. I'll see if I can find it and start an "Invented bands" thread.

I think that interview deserves its own thread...hahahah.

I personally hope DT is able to find some new interesting direction to go with the next album, show some growth (though its a tad difficult imagining a band like that having much room for growth). I found Octavarium to be a little too much of a mash-up (as well as a bit of a ripoff )...really hope they're able to find a steady new sound in their next album.

One can always dream :o )

I could understand this being a useful thread if it's discussion for what an individual would like Dream Theater to do, but as far as predicting what Dream Theater will do...that's impossible.
 
One of the few bands which leaves no indication of their next artistic route is Dream Theater.  I have to say, that when Dream Theater releases their latest album, I am always suprised by what I hear.  Never could I have predicted what Octavarium was, Six Degrees, or Train of Thought.  Rest assured, I have loved everything this band has done. 
 
What would I like to see Dream Theater do?  Well let me tell you.
 
I would like another double album.  The first disc featuring more traditional Dream Theater styled metal songs.  A lot of six minute shread tunes and a couple cool and dark ballads would be excellent.
 
The second disc however would be much more ambitious.  What I would like to see here would be a more symphonic progressive rock style showing Mike Portnoy's Transatlantic influence.  Three epics would be ideal, the longest being about twenty minutes.  Full orchestration of course is a dream, but not as much as a dream of guests appearances by Roine Stolt, Andy Tillison, and Neal Morse on vocals is.

They need to re-invent themselves. Maybe push the limits of acoustic Prog on a few songs. Portnoy needs a sound factory of pads with fabricated sounds for an industrial effect. Pertucci...well, what hasn't he done? Rudess could get one of those funky organs like Neil Young used on Unplugged for a few songs. How about a stab at Progressive Country...that could be scary though.

I thought that there allready was a genra called Progressive Bluegrass or something??? LOL 
 
I wouldn't mind seeing them excersise some Jazz Fusion styled songs (Instrumental of course) I'm sure with the skills they posess they can play some fusion for sure.

Where did you hear that? I've read a couple of recent interviews with Jordan and John Petrucci, and they both ultimately said they do not know what direction the album will take until they start writing again in the fall.
