Dream Theater replies: Nah, we have the BEST DRUMMER (and also GUITARIST (and also BASSIST (and also KEYBOARDIST) ) ) in the WORLD.
And we SUCK.

We, the Idolators, post and pray the Earth keeps spinning at least until June the 9th.

Now where's my Lee solo album!!!???

No hyphen in their promo poster.



And what's up with the wallpaper ? Looks like something from my grandmother's house.

They took the photo in your grandmother's house.

They know her through seniors' night.

Moshe what about buy early get now?

send me your money and i will take care of your order.

o really ?

I think details of buy now/get early will come out early next week from
Matador...

Its probably just me but I don't exactly understand how to sign up for the Buy Now Get Early... I go on that webpage and try to register and it doesn't work, I guess I have to wait for the specific details to be announced?

and what does it mean about having to contact your local buy now get early distributor?, something along the lines of having them receive the physical items like LPs and such but only if your local record store is participating?

it's a little confusing and the map they list does't show a lot of record stores who are in on it, none in seattle, none in the mid atlantic i noticed

any record stores in the mid atlantic would be under miles of ocean

Yeah, that's confusing me too. Is there any option to get this one in germany? There are no local shops to select on the site for germany. :(

I imagine it'll be a riff-tastic sonic youth album based on what Thurston has said... so like .. EJSTNS + Rather Ripped is what I am guessing.

Don't say that, you're breaking my heart.

combination of the worst... look forward still, as ever!

Has anyone else mentioned that the album cover looks like a bloody nipple?

No way. Not just after doing Rather Ripped. Surely not. (Hope not).

So how many of you have heard the album here? I really like No Way from the video going around and bet the studio version is going to be powerful.

I for one can't wait til June. It almost doesn't seem fair that we have to wait so long... but I guess June will be right around the corner... which btw I had a trip planned for a year that coincidentally starts a week after release. So we will have travel music.

we haven't heard the album man.
