We hope some marketing students are paying attention to the work of Dream Theater and their team in the past month... there's lots to learn.
The prog rockers have regularly been releasing short previews of songs from their upcoming album, "A Dramatic Turn Of Events", due September 13.
In terms of promotion and marketing, it's a good way to get repeat mentions on rock news websites (ahem) while simultaneously keeping the band's name in the spotlight while building anticipation amongst fans for their new product.
Last month, DT released "On The Backs Of Angels", the first single from the disc, and have since shared previews of three additional tracks (check out prevous DT news).
Now, a fourth song preview has surfaced: "This Is The Life".
Post-release promotion includes a North American tour, which Dream Theater kick off September 24 in San Francisco.
I like the dominating sound of the keyboard on this album, it seems more fresh than the previous release. I´m looking forward to this, big time. This track sounds a bit weak though, but what´s to expect if it´s a dream theater ballad
The thing is that, every Dream Theater song is about 8:30 min long, so what can you expect from 10min snippet?? Remembre, they are (still) a prog. band... Soooo... 10 is not enough to judge!!!
The thing is that, every Dream Theater song is about 8:30 min long, so what can you expect from 11min snippet?? Remembre, they are (still) a prog. band... Soooo... 11 is not enough to judge!!!
The thing is that, every Dream Theater song is about 8:30 min long, so what can you expect from 1: 00min snippet?? Remembre, they are (still) a prog. band... Soooo... 1: 00 is not enough to judge!!!
Sorry damn emoticons... 1: 00 min long...
Ballads aren't one of DT's strong points; however, i have a feeling that this song will be much better than their last ballad "Wither". I read in a review that the solo in this song is very Gilmore-like =0...we will have to wait and see.
Cyngus :

Newsflash mate: some of us do, so please don't generalize
