New Release from Dream Theater

[ForeverAutumn]

Spinning DT today, but picked it up at HMV for less than the amazon price. But amazon keeps pushing back the IQ delivery date, now to the first week in July. Maybe they'll get it sooner than they think.

I pre-ordered the DT disk from Amazon on June 3. I got an email from them today telling me that there is a delay and it won't be shipped until sometime between July 6 - July 20. I'll be cancelling the order and picking it up at HMV. Lucky for me I still have an HMV gift cert from Christmas. So I guess there is a Silver Lining.

Oh man....I just converted some WorldPoints miles to an Amazon gift card to order this album! I don't think I can wait a month for it to ship!

Regarding the discussion of the instrumental disc....I am pretty sure DT write the material as a foursome and bring in the vocals at the end. Having watched more hours of DT making-of video out there, that's how it seems to be done. The only exception to this I can think of is LaBrie coming up with some melody on Scenes when he walked passed Jordan as he was messing with some stuff on the keys...James started humming a tune which ended up as part of the song. So I think there is probably an instrumental version of most DT material out there in the Portnoy archives simply through their writing process.

I envy those that have heard all 3 discs already...I can't wait to get my hands on the instrumental one!

My order was from Amazon.ca. I don't know what the status is at Amazon.com. You should check for yourself (assuming that you're ordering from dot com).
