Great cover indeed, never saw that one coming. I was crossing my fingers not to see a mainly achromatic presence on the cover, when the image was opening (yeah, my PC's that slow ). It does seem to fit the title in ways not expected - although the band and album's names are a superfluous element in the picture, it'd look better if it wasn't posted on the cover, out of the picture -, hopefully the sound will do the same with its titles. Long tracks are a positive hope for a great album: think about it, with so many minutes, something's bound to turn out fantastic with a great band like DT...and taking they already did ToT, probabilities increase. Then again, I might just still be overwhelmed with Fear Of A Blank Planet...

This is why you should let Robin save the day...

My friend seemingly found an instrumental promo of the cd and I know it's been floating around the web for a while and considered to be a fake, but he sent me a track and I'll tell you it really sounds like it could be real. The quality is pretty bad, but it sounds like the band's playing. It's not LTE either. Who knows it may possibily be real. If it is, it definately sounds promising. Definately back to the roots.

Another Hugh Syme. Not my favorite of his, but still good stuff.

That is an excellent cover, other than the CGI bugs. Good interpretation of the title. Clap

Did I really get suckered in?

I read that about the Flower Kings and also that Riverside was moving to the U.S.

I think I have just grown gills on the side of my head and huge sucker lips.

April Fool's!!  I just read the Flower Kings were recording their last album together because Hasse is moving his family to India to be a teacher.  Take it all with a grain of salt.

DREAM THEATER: The new Dream Theater album Systematic Chaos has been postponed...
ROADRUNNER RECORDS regret to announce the delay of the new Dream Theater album Systematic Chaos. The album, scheduled for release on June 4th has been postponed due to errors in artwork printing. A&R man Derek Oliver commented: "We regret the postponement of the Dream Theater release due to printing errors in the artwork. The booklets received from the printing factory contained errors that did not pass our high standard quality check, so we had no other choice than to reject the artwork and get it reprinted."
The release date will now be July 23rd.

Systematic Chaos if the first album for the band to be released on Roadrunner records and is the band's ninth album, following the critically acclaimed Octavarium. The album was recorded at Avatar Studios in New York, with veteran engineer/ mixer Paul Northfield (Rush, Queensryche, Porcupine Tree). As usual, Portnoy and Petrucci chose to co-produce the project, which features seven compositions (one a 25-minute epic).
DREAM THEATER - SYSTEMATIC CHAOS

  1. In The Presence of Enemies Pt.1
  2. Forsaken
  3. Constant Motion
  4. The Dark Eternal Night
  5. Repentance
  6. Prophets of War
  7. The Ministry of Lost Souls
  8. In The Presence of Enemies Pt.2
Produced by John Petrucci and Mike Portnoy
Engineered and Mixed by Paul Northfield
Drummer Mike Portnoy was slightly less diplomatic about the error:
"Apparently they misspelled my name. It must have been a sick joke from someone at the printer's because when we received the test print everything was ok, but the final artwork showed my name as "Porntoy" and this was only discovered after 70,000 had been printed.

I personally thought it was very funny. After all the album is called 'Systematic Chaos'!

The product manager of Roadrunner was less amused tho. He said it was unacceptable and that some stores would refuse to stock it like this, so the artwork is to be reprinted.

That's politics. We will just have to budge and accept it. I am sorry for the delay but will ensure you the album will be worth the wait!"
