    What would you like for this album, another concept album akin to Metropolis Pt.2, Another heavy album similar to Train of Thought, a continuation of A Dramatic Turn of Events' sound, or something else entirely? Personally I would love to see a second concept album with another 20 minute epic like Octavarium or A Change of Seasons.

    I would like to see a heavy concept album but more like Awake than ToT. To go back to the sound of ToT again would lose a lot of respect In the eyes of fans I think.

    Apparently writing finishes some time this week or next, and then they'll start recording.

    Awesome! I was aware that they we're writing material but didn't know when they would finish. Looks like they're going to get the target release of September. Hopefully it might release sooner :)

    I definitely don't want to hear ToT style.

    Systematic Chaos or Scenes From A Memory was their peak in my eyes, and I don't think they can do that without Portnoys writing.

    Idk about the 12th album but for the 13th what would REALLY get me going is if they wrote 2 hours of piano ballads that all sounded the same, then made it some weird sci-fi music opera thing about music suppression

    Surely a songwriter as talented as John Petrucci would never go "what if I made 2112, but a lot longer and more boring?" Good thing that's definitely not a thing!

    You said it. What a terrible reality to live that would be. Next thing you know they would be making B-tier Breaking Benjamin songs.
