Anyways, yeah, probably good to get full on to DT's older stuff before this album, they go in a lot of new directions. Octavarium is definitely very diverse.
About the Bukodan thing, hell yes, I can't wait to see Petrucci actually going about his business. And maybe the rest of the band. But mainly Petrucci. And everywhere I enquire about it I hear about this Instrumedly, so I hope it doesn't dissapoint.

I keep hearing the new album sounds a lot like Muse in places, that true?

Oh yeah, and have you heard any of their performance of Master Of Puppets? I really want to hear that but I can't get hold of a bootleg due to living in England.
