presto123 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 QUOTE (trenken @ May 31 2012, 07:11 PM) The title track is the main one that strikes me as original sounding, although many bands have done that sort of eastern style intro like Soothsayer from Mars Volta, Home from Dream Theater and Forever May Not Be Long Enough from Live. Some of the rest sound like regular rock songs to me, like with that guitar riff from Anarchist. Doesnt sound like anything too different than Nocturne. This is just going on short clips though so who knows. Nocturne to me is one of the best song's since the 80's save production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanadoo Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Like everyone else, this has got me fired up. The cutoff in the title track made me release a reflex "f**k!". That song is gonna be huge. The whole time all I could think was how well these are going to translate live. It has a big presence, like a concert feeling from what I gathered.

Sorry to those who can't listen to the streams, but please, no posting links to hard copies of these clips. Even though they're only 30 seconds long, we still can't share them here. Find a way to listen to the clips on Walmart or Amazon or whatever. Would it be okay if I posted the links directly to the .asf files on Walmart's server? It might be preferable to working with the web page. People can load the files in a media player and play them directly. Interesting question. They're on Walmart's server, but will those links allow people to download the clips (as opposed to playing them straight from Walmart's site)? Tell you what -- post a link to the "Caravan" clip and we'll see how it works. Here ya go: http://music.walmart.com/g2demand/000/16/8...2.01.01.001.asf I know this was several pages ago, but . . . this link worked just fine for me. When I first listened, I was at the office (Windows 7 and Media Player). Now, I'm at home (Vista and Media Player) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossedSignals Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 The "Clockwork Angels", "Seven Cities Of Gold", and "The Garden" clips have me pretty stoked. I like the atmospheric stuff in general. I'm going to hold off on any serious judgment until I have the album in my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGr8imL84AD8inF8sBlackSedan Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I don't know about anyone else, but when I played it on WMP is sounded pretty bad although the songs themselves sounded good. I'm really interested to hear how the whole story is going to play out. Sounds like we couild have a great record here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worthog Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Since these clips are from Walmart, we know they are censored, can't wait for the Amazon samples where Geddy drops a couple F-Bombs on the BU2B2 and Halo Effect intros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GangsterOnBoats Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 For all the Mac users and those without Windows Media in general, someone posted a YT video of the snippets here. However, do note that the BU2B snippet is at the very end instead of in the second place (I don't know why they did that). Also, the sound quality is even worse than on Walmart, but oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dark GUP is one of my favs. All I asked for really was edginess and atmosphere. Judging from these clips we will have that is SPADES. It's unbelievable frankly. I just hope the vocals / choruses can keep up, we are hearing some mind melting samples here.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
