The real cover has not been released. Did someone add the fan one again? PA is giving me database errors so I can't check.

Promo copies aren't even out yet. I believe they're still mastering the album

Good job having an opinion on an album that's not out. 

But so far, I'm just meh on this. 

If it's awesome, awesome, if it's sh*t, well, whatever.

I'm sure you have opinions of albums you've never heard too.

Just extrapolating from Watershed, really.

Might be surprised.

A Dramatic Turn of Events is available as a $105 special edition boxset...


I definitely won't be picking it up because the special features are a lithograph of the bad album artwork, a dvd of already-released drummer auditions, and an instrumental version of the album.  The turntable mat seems to be the only worthwhile feature.  

I'll definitely be sticking to the standard edition.

Hmm, so that really is the album cover.

I'm tempted, but I think I'll wait and just buy the vinyl.

The "fake" album cover was a whole lot better. Oh well, let's hope that the music will make it worth a while! Thumbs Up
 
 
 
As for the album, I own most of their back catalog on CD but haven't purchaced a single DT album since Octavarium (and I only got that one because it was being autographed by the band). I prefer to stream their music off Spotify instead.

Yep, it'll be the regular edition for me.
 
I got the special edition of BCSL when it came out and two years later I still don't think I've listened to the instrumental disc yet Embarrassed.

I looked at this yesterday too.......very bad marketing ploy, including the "Willie Wonka" golden ticket search. $105 for material that makes no sense to have, an instrumental version?? Why?? Lithograph....are u really thinking I'm gonna hang that on my wall so my wife can yell at me everytime she sees that 3rd grade CGI in a frame...on her wall??
Might be worth $50.....
 
I would probably take the vinyl version with the turntable mat.......That's it.

I bet this will be their best since Six Degrees.  Breaking All Illusions sounds great.
