I wish there was a stream so I could try before I buy... (I know there are other ways but I'd rather show my support by providing views on an official stream)

More people need to be talking about this. A masterpiece, for sure. Its great from start to finish, but if I had to choose, I'd say the two 'old' songs are the weaker of the bunch, with DMP being better than Sections. I like both songs alot, but Huge Hammers, Floods of Colour:bowdown:, Circassian Beauties, Animal King, and the Title track are crazy good, and it feels like those two songs (more Sections than DMP) are less developed. There is so much going on in every song, so many great parts. I mean, Floods of Colour is so good that I had goose bumps for like 20 min after hearing it, then felt ashamed as I looked at my guitar and thought to myself "why wont you make these sounds!!"

I fully agree with you, though I think DMB and Sections seem less because the rest of the tracks are just so friggin' stellar. It really shows a HUGE leap in musicianship. Imagine how their sophomore release would be:eek:

Exactly what I was thinkin. I like them too, but the other songs are flawless. Every riff, every verse, every chorus, every vocal line, the lyrics, the drumming and basswork, are just spectactular. And as far as a sophomore cd, I already can't wait. I had read somewhere they were already a good ways done with writing a follow up.

Anyone know if "preorders" are still being shipped from Allinmerch even if they were ordered after the 27th? I ordered mine on the 29th along with a few other things, and haven't heard anything from 'em since they emailed me my invoice at the time of the order.

Edit: Nevermind, I realised that it isn't out in the U.S till the beginning of April, looks like i'll have to wait by my front door for a month, or just buy it on itunes...

I'd be all over this I hate firebrand due to previous bad experience with them. The bigcartel page seems to have been taken town. Will probably just hold out until the official release date to get the CD, as hard as it is :(
