I heard Octavarium !
One of my best friend's friends who was in the US Army in Iraq came back a week or so ago, and sent my best friend via MP3 the entire new DT album! now I'm sure you're all thinking "bullshit" right now, and that's exactly what I thought when my friend told me too. But then he sent me the MP3s, and let me tell you guys this is by far THE most progressive Dream Theater album ever to be put out. It's not only musically progressive but lyrically too, in that James speaks NO English on this new album. All the lyrics are sung in Swedish, and I can understand a little bit of Swedish, what I gathered from the lyrics were a lot of stuff about trolls and the destruction of Christianity type lyrics. Now, onto the music, AMAZING stuff, all of the songs are set to a European folk music tempo, with very metal-sounding guitar riffs and, WOW the keyboards are awesome. So folky and melodic, and epic sounding at times. I really don't want to give too much of it away, cos I don't want to ruin it for you guys who are going to wait for the release date to buy it and listen to it.
