So at least two songs before the album?! Nice! Thanks for the info Ryan!

I wonder how long of a gap there'll be between the release of the two.

I kind of hope that only one comes out before the LP, even though I want to hear them all now. If 2 or more songs drop it kinda kills the idea for the LP and being the first to hear the album before it’s out.

True. Thats why I was so confused still as to why the LP and Album are so close together with the LP not being like sometime in March or April since the album is obviously already mastered. Although the LP date was announced way ahead of album completion obviously so maybe they werent sure Plus having the title track released as an instant grat track before the LP seems a bit weird too but Im not complaining

It’d be cool if it was more of a release party and we got our albums that are included with the LP ticket that night...it won’t happen, but that’d be amazing!

I mean 2 weeks before the album is out isnt too big of a window to have the album before others given all that costs and dedication that goes into attending this event so I could have seen that as being a possibilty, but of course someone would probably ruin that privilege and upload it to the interwebs illegally so

As far as I can remember they've never used blast beats before...

Honestly I don't think I'd even be able to tell if there was blast beats or not

Oh shit! Never noticed before, thanks!

Has anyone heard if there will be retailer exclusive versions (i.e. Best Buy bonus tracks)?

Honestly putting the LP so close to the release kinda kills the LP imo. I can just wait a few weeks to buy the album vs spending 250 + travel costs. There's more to the LP than that but having already had the experience and having a bunch of other trips planned for the year, it was one of the deciding factors for me.

Approximately 55 hours until the pre-order and track is available on iTunes (if they release it at 12 EST on Friday).

That means they only have 55 hours to get the lyrics done! And they've missed out on so many opportunities

Timo told me the lyrics don't even matter as long as there's a catchy hook.

Timo said that?! But the lyrics are what matter the most!

(Would totally still buy an album made my Mark if it was about all the cliche rap/hip-hop subject matter )

That's neat! @TremontiProject on Twitter is having fans guess the missing words correctly now in order to get the codes to unlock them?

I dont know if embedding tweets is a thing on here so I just took a screenshot

Mechanical cradle, synthetic soup ladle.

Blast beats are so over rated. Part of why I grew tired of metal. I've always liked Garrett's use of double bass though. Sparingly used, it sounds good.
