Dream Theater back in studio, again!

Apparently, after their world tour, Dream Theater immediately got in the studio to record a new album, just like they have been doing since Scenes from a Memory.

The firsts news come from Jordan Rudess's web site: http://www.jordanrudess.com/jr/ (click on Wizard's Log).

Lets hope for the best!!!!!!!!!!

The funniest thing is to check how they are getting old. Mike is growing a freaking gut and gray hair and Petrucci looks like a  middle aged biker, lol.

I hope for a good release.

Systematic Chaos was a very good album, a giant step up fomr the lame-ish Octogenarian.

Oh, come on people, lets have a bit of optimism, please!!  I'm always happy to hear they've returned to the studio, but then I'm an unashamed, 40 year old DT fan-boy....

i was hopeful for Octavarium... it sucked with the exception of the first and last tracks. I cannot really even listen to that album anymore, except maybe Root Of All Evil and Octavarium once every 2 months or so.
I waited another 2 years for Systematic Chaos.
It was not really worth the wait, they could have just easily done that album 2 weeks after Octavarium rather than releasing something quite average like that.
I barely listen to SC anymore either, I can think of so many 2007 releases that were so much more inventive, inspiring and left me wanting more.
It's hard to be optimistic when a band managed to disappoint me several years consecutively with studio albums.

Hell, I understand your post was being a bit on the fun side, but still

YES! That means new tour, finish to the AA suite (full AA suite live), possibility for more meet & greet oppurtunities.

For me, Octavarium was the best recent DT album - it was the only one that showed the full range of their material - light to dark, dark to light.  Systematic Chaos and Train of Thought were both a bit unvaried and heavy for me.

I enjoy FII a fair amount. Less than many other DT releases, surely, but still a fair amount.

It's Train of Thought that gets me a bit derailed sometimes. Enjoyable, but hardly memorable (IMO!!!). But DT certainly does have some killer albums . Personally, I hope the new album is in the SC style... although I hope they change it a little bit, because I know a lot of critics who will have their heads if they don't.
