It will be a scary scene if people don't like first single.

I like the album cover. It doesn't look some over the top fantasy art like the fan art.

No they didn't, but I do think they told Dan what direction they wanted it to go. There's some meaning to this cover somewhere that we don't know yet. There has to be.

Interviewer: "I like the idea of the artwork of your new record "Fortress". I love that you made it look like crap to make a statement"
Mark: "Uh, what?"

No, it only starts with an acoustic (with nylon strings). But we'll see through the rest of the song. Ashlee said it's over 7 mins long.
