While I am all against overexcited gushing in response to something like this, which is going on at Interference apparently.

This is the album discussion thread, if you don't want to discuss the album, don't participate in the discussion.

You can be the hermit in a cave, who comes out on March 2, if you want to.

I have no problem with an album discussion.
It's all this speculation that turns it ridiculous. Pretending to be able to judge the final album by some bad quality clips is ridiculous. To hyperventilate about an uncertain 30 sec guitar part, about begging the poster to post the album, about him getting banned /jailed is ridiculous. To draw similarities between songs from a 30 sec looped riff is ridiculous.
Taking the youtube comments serious is just the ice on the cake.

And guess what, I listened to the beach clips, I even brought them here. I also listened to the HQ clips and the guitar riff. It's fun, nothing more nothing less. No reason to freak out.

Well i never tried to judge the album from the clips, as you say they are too poor quality.
You can get a feel for the song though, impressions if you will.

I agree we can get a bit carried away with teaser's such as this, but it's the first actual thing we've heard in a long time. What else are we going to talk about? Release dates?

And if he does leak the album, it is quite possible that he will get arrested.

Great, what's missing, I can't remember but a song has to be missing.
It seems winter has changed names.

And whats Fez-Being Born? Tripoli?

Damn they took out every breaking wave.

And I like Casper's cover better, I'm guessing the equal symbol emphasises the 'no line on the horizon'

White as Snow is probably Winter.

And Breathe is here, they didn't leave it out.

That would be strange - Tripoli is in Libya... Well, who knows.

Probably --orn (Prov.) // 5:58 // Nearly finished // Intro to be decided on? New Eno Edits + treatment

AWESOME!! Oh, this is exciting!!

So no "Every Breaking Wave" or "Tripoli"? The Fez-Being Born title sounds interesting...

This is a better cover, I don't know why they didn't use photo that Casper used, as the one they have doesn't really show an invisible horizon. They should have used Casper's background with the equal sign to emphasise that the horizon is missing.

And why no WOWY sounding Every Breaking Wave?
