snowdog2112 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 What?! Why in the world would Roadrunner want to pull samples from a major retailer? That's just bizarre to say, this is standard operating procedure, not a "leak" of any sort. They'll be on Amazon and itunes (probably 90 second clips) soon.

Not sure I want to listen to 90 second clips. That will be revealing too much before I get the record. Hope I don't cave but I probably will.

SchemingDemon Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I will NOT listen to any 90 sec clips That'd just be too damn frustrating. 30 sec was bad enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deckiller Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 The Wreckers was the guitar-swap song - that might explain the My Favorite Headache vibes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Well.....if we do get Amazon 30 second samples before the 90 second samples hit it should tell more of the story because I think Amazon's start somewhere in the middle of the song usually.

KenJennings Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Damn!! I had this great idea to use the first :30 from these clips, and make a youtube video, but after the first :30 cut to Rick Astley for the remainder of the time. Friggin' youtube copyright police got to it though. It was blocked before it ever aired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddyleegenes Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Definitely agree with those who have mentioned the "My Favorite Headache" comparisons. I thought that immediately when hearing both "The Wreckers" and "The Garden". I was surprised when I read others were thinking it too. "The Garden" in particular reminded me a whole lot of "The Angel's Share". There's definitely nothing wrong with these comparisons. "My Favorite Headache" is one of my favorite non-Rush albums. Geddy kicked with that album and I've always hoped the guys would play some "MFH" on the road. Besides that, these 30 second clips are F***ing F**TASTIC! Walmart??? WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT!!! (But then too, Walmart had "Snakes and Arrows" stocked the week before it's official release. Good Old Sam Walton. What a guy!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joesaracer Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) The verse to Wish Them Well has the same chord progression as Birdland by Weather Report. Which means it is awesome. The verse arpeggios sound like they're from the RTB era. Definitely getting that whole entering the city feel that Alex described on Seven Cities of Gold. Sounds like the intro to Columbia by Oasis. Clockwork Angels sounds like One of These Days by Pink Floyd (of course the rest is probably not gonna end up sounding anything like it). A lot of MFH vibes on the songs, which, to me, is a good thing. The Wreckers sounds like The Who during the intro and sounds like the British band Doves during the verse.
