Just listened to the stream of the whole album. It exceeded what I had hoped for and can't wait for my presale to get "shipped." Time to listen again.

I could see that. it sounds like there is a nice pocket there in the verse, might sound even better sped up

That would be awesome. You never know, man. Didn't Creed do something like that last year with a couple of their albums?

Just realised the galloping bridge of Farther than the Sun sounds like Knights of Cydonia by Muse.
For all of the hope that it brings...

I like that bit, I think that song's about dying and that symbolises the sharp end of it. Maybe some confirmation bias at work here, however...

WOW, just wow..

..and its definitely end of 80ths, eraly 90ths metal/ hard rock influenced, and Gnr and such.. very much that era.

Very melodic but still very heavy and metal-ish.. almost sounds European.. maybe (I think that) because I am that :D

Blows AB3 out of the water.. didnt like that one really.

Almost (euro) power metalish at times!

Anyone else notice how much the lyrics improved? No more cliches. The lyrics in Waters Rising are absolutely incredible.

I`m definitely with you! CoA is simply said perfect! And can`t get enough of the entire album, too. Listening to it since the stream started, even now at work. (Thanks @everybody in my hometown for not wanting a taxi tonight!:D)
