Let's see...
"By the way, what WAS the last double studio album of "new" material (by ANY artist)?"
Dream Theater's "Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence" is a GREAT double set, Which in this "Pop/Rap/Teeny Bop" dominated music scene (Which is a sad state IMO), Has been virtually ignored...But then D.T. has never been about being in the "Popular" music scene mode, I think thats what is so great about 'em...
The radio stations would NEVER play this 2 disc set because the music is NOT radio friendly (The shortest track is 6:46...The rest are at least a mininum 9 minutes long and the EPIC Disc 2 "Six Degrees..." clocks in at 42:04!!!) or commercialized enough to be (No "Pre-Packaged Aggression" or "Hip Corporate" music on this set...What would anyone expect from a band who's influences run from Metallica to Journey to Yes to the Beatles to the much underated band UK...D.T. is a MUSICIANS Band...'Nuff said).
