  2. And five years later, well after the album hype has died down and the tour is over, he's only giving you the facts now?

    You guys do know this was an amazing idea that I had? Maybe they could release a 16 CD anthology with every single one of their demos and test songs.
  3. damn we need some real info to talk about....

    where? when? what the heck are you talking about?


    actually i know what i'm talking about


  6. i just want an album announcement goddammit. somehow i think we're going to get a "expect important news regarding that new record to come within the next few weeks" at some point before a formal announcement, that would just seem to fit in with the prolonged saga of this album. shit, if it is coming out in january, a single would be out at least this month if not december.....maybe it's not january after all


  7. Wouldn't that be nice. Just to hear how many songs will be on the album or even a 30-second snippet of a final song would be fantastic. I notice they haven't been as forthcoming with final titles, dates, tour details etc as they were for ATYCLB or HTDAAB. Even one new song would be good. We got the last truly new song in, what, 2006 - Window In The Skies. Long time coming.

    Give it a second. It's 14 November and they still have 48 days left to release more info. It's gonna happen, but all I know is 2009 is gonna be the year for music. 2008 has been kinda lame - well, a few good releases, but nothing worth going "shit, that's revolutionary!"

    I've moved the Timeline of the new album post to this new page, where it can be in its own topic to keep it neat. I've also removed the quotes and linked to pages and articles where possible, so all you have to do is click on the underlined bold links in the topic to read the full article, not just a quick summary.

    I thought it was a better idea.
  11. Thanks a lot, Drew, great compilation
