Pretty good review of the new album! I seriously CAN NOT WAIT! It's gonna be so good to have the first 2 albums Red sound back!

[AllC392Was]

oh... no question about it! Until We Have Faces was pretty good too, but EoS and I&I are just leagues above the others. This album can't get here fast enough!

new short clip just got released

[mtshaw3]

Here it is. No music, just another part of the videos they've been doing. If they keep to the pattern they've been going with, we should have a song clip within 2 days maybe?

I saw where the iTunes pre-order for the album will begin on February 3rd, and if you pre-order you will get instant downloads of Darkest Part and Yours Again. So at the latest we'll have to wait until February 3rd to hear two full songs.

Yep... and if you did the pre-order through their Pledge Music page, you also get the same 2 songs.

Newest song clip is up... by far the longest and this one sounds epic! I wish it was Feb 24th already! I need new music to listen to!

[AB4Lyfe]

Yeah that clip was awesome!

[SHEAKENBAKEN]

After that clip I've given up trying to be patient. February 24th!!!! WHY MUST YOU BE SO FAR AWAY?!

Cannot wait for this album. I'm seeing the guys in March when they hit up Atlanta

Nice, I'm trying to talk the wife into going to see them in Pittsburgh in a couple weeks.

[SHEAKENBAKEN]

I'm not going to say anything else other than this; but the album leaked today.....

[Andy92]

Oh that sucks for the guys to have that happen this early. I'll try to hold off until the official release or an official stream to hear it.

[mtshaw3]

Oh man... It's going to be very difficult for me to wait... but I'm going to try and do the right thing and wait til the release day. UGH!

[Andy92]

Looks like the album is up on Spotify now...haven't heard a statement from the band yet. Makes me think they're moving the release date up after it leaked? The iTunes link still just says it's available for pre-order with the February 24th release date.

Anyways I gave the album a listen since Spotify had it. It's a lot of new music to soak in. It's definitely their darkest sounding record. The album feels more like a piece of art than your typical rock record to me. It doesn't really have the catchy hooks like I'm used to in most Red albums, but what the album lacks in that area, it definitely makes up for in pure musicianship. I felt like I was listening to a movie soundtrack at some points throughout the record. There's a common theme throughout, and you can tell the band set out to paint a picture and tell a story with this one.

After hearing the intro I've decided AB is missing someone on a cello.

[Andy92]

Red is one of the better rock bands when it comes to incorporating strings into the music. It just sounds so natural when they do it. But yeah, I've been wishing for some strings in an AB song since they were writing AB III.
