The logo is "Dream Theater" in that crazy font that most of their albums sport. The Majesty symbol is what's on the new cover art. But that's what it's always looked like, it's just really shiny now.Tongue

Excited!

The titles sound a bit more 'boring' to me than the titles of the songs from the last couple of albums (The Count of Tuscany, On the Backs of Angels, etc). Anyway, we also know thanks to a Roadrunner Podcast that one of the songs goes for over 20 minutes; I'm assuming that that song is the last track.

Meh. At least it's not insanely stupid like their previous one two three.

Especially the last one... I think I hate it more than any other album cover

What's wrong with a simple cover? Metallica did it on their eponymous  album. The Beatles did too. If it was retro, I'm sure there would be more criticism.

What's wrong this simple cover? It isn't any good.

Indeed. The cover is just awful, but not because it's simple. Just look at it, it's the laziest thing ever.

I don't really see anything bad with the cover. But then I saw on Facebook a fan made possible cover that was really great and I would have loved that one to be the real one. It was a black and white photo of a lake with a hand emerging from it with a pen, and it was writing the Dream Theater logo on the surface of the lake. That one would have been my very favourite Dream Theater cover of all.

Yeah considering their prestige, you'd think they'd have a good artist do their stuff.  It seems like they don't give a sh*t what gets put on there on a lot of their albums

I won't give a crap as long as the music's good. I don't know why, but I've got a really good feeling about this one...

Indeed. I like the concept of this album cover, but the execution was sloppy. And that cut of light to the left of the Majesty logo is super annoying.
