All they need is Maruisz Duda on bass and you have an amazing supergroup.
Lead Guitar and Vocals - Akerfeldt Guitar, Keys, Vocals - Wilson Bass, vocals - Duda Drums - Portnoy

He has an annoying snare sound

Now that would be cool.
I actually dont mind Portnoy's vocals on The Whirlwind either!

If it brings you any satisfaction, I still like DT's Awake album , especially The Silent Man...

I think Portnoy could ruin this project. Even though not in the running, Danny Carey would prove much more interesting from a drumming perspective. |
That's true, but apparently he won't join until the music is already written

I am wondering what kind of music they will play...
A millionth uninspired prog metal album or something blending pop, space-rock, post-rock, extreme metal and some electronica ?
Mr Duda proved he can go beyond the boundaries of prog with lunatic soul...

Uh, imagine that! I guess this line-up would be way successful than for an example Transatlantic, although I don't wanna underestimate Roine, Neal and Pete (didn't mention Portnoy, as we have him involved in this one), but having Akerfeldt, Wilson, Duda and Portnoy in the same band = a real blast.

What half of the people on this site were you on again?
Anyway, this idea sounds good. I can't say I'm a fan of DT, though I'm not familiar with Portnoy, but a project with such big names will at least be interesting. Therefore I'm quite excited to see the result.

Tempting prospect but Wilson has been talking about this for almost 10 years now so let's wait and see and wait and see and wait a bit more

Yeah, they've been talking (when asked about it) for a long time always complaining that there just isn't any time to tackle the project. Now that Opeth's on a break and I guess PT too, this is the first time that they actually do something about it. But let's not hold our breaths.
I'm just as interested in the Åkerfeldt solo album which is going to be very acoustic and quite Nick Drake-like.
And clappies for the comment below

Nightshine: anyone with even a third of a brain knows that Dream Theater is a fairly good band. They've written some great songs in the past, write some good ones now. Sure, they've had their flops and some abysmal things. But like them or not, badmouthing them like you are twelve and want to rebel against what your parents listen to makes you sound, well, like you're twelve. It's fine not to like them. It's fine to abhor them. But acting like you've got the inside scoop on all us sheep who don't instantly light on fire any form of Dream Theater product... Well, write some reviews of bands that you enjoy and we can tear apart your opinions.

I gladly invite you to tear apart my opinions word by word. However, it wouldn't matter considering the layout is dedicated to collaborators and collaborators only, so reviewing here would be much like dumping a message in a bottle out into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and 99999+ other bottles lie there with them.

So you find your opinion to be invalidated because lots of other people also have opinions? That's the opposite impression of what you gave with your above comments.
It's not about taking the ratings down from a 4.0 to a 2.0. No one has that kind of power--even collabs are only slightly more weighted. Really, the important part is the review. Show which albums you support, which you don't care for. Don't use a perceived lack of effectiveness as a reason not to even try.

No drummer is flawless, and your fanboyism is clearly giving you an unrealistic take on this whole thing.
