Interesting. Maybe its because I grew up with $.99 singles, Limewire and playlists... but I've never been able to appreciate the idea of an album. I listen to a record from start to finish the very first time, then just choose songs I feel like hearing from there on out. An album really only gives me a sense of a timeline of their discography. ODR is their "first album", BB came after, ect. The first time I heard Come to Life seamlessly flow into Brand New Start, I thought that was pretty cool. But the album in and of itself, namely, the length, the track listing, the opener song, ect. has little relevance to me.Dolo wrote:I hope the album is not as long as Wikipedia suggests. 72 minutes is far, far, far too long. I do like long songs but not lenghty albums.

I would actually love that length. Alter Bridge nails the long songs.Dolo wrote:I hope the album is not as long as Wikipedia suggests. 72 minutes is far, far, far too long. I do like long songs but not lenghty albums.
Probably but I think they are setting up things now. Takes time to promote and such first before telling the publicanguyen92 wrote:Arghhh, can't we actually get some concrete news from any of the band's social media outlet, or Michael in terms of when to anticipate a new single?
My bad, I don't come around here often before an album release to avoid spoilers and previews. Just assumed someone already had the track listing and put it on Wikipedia.SHEAKENBAKEN wrote:you think Wikipedia would have reliable information this early?

Also, if the track listing on wikipedia is accurate, I'm stoked that there are a lot of songs in excess of 6 minutes. Hope it's an indication of something good.

But just to be clear, you're saying the song lengths are likely to be longer than what's written on Wiki? Because that's even better. I do recall one of the interviews from the last couple months where they mentioned a lot of 6 minute songs.
You're welcome! Sorry if I crushed your hopes for longer songs! I would have liked an 8min song on this record too just no 2-3 min ones like they also suggestedphatnonphatness wrote:Ahh I see, thanks for that
What's the difference though if we already know it's probably only 11-12 tracks long?Dolo wrote:I hope the album is not as long as Wikipedia suggests. 72 minutes is far, far, far too long. I do like long songs but not lenghty albums.
I've never understood this. For me, the shorter the album, the more/faster it repeats. Wears the album out quicker. I think that's why I listened to ABIII for the longest after initial release.abw1987 wrote:I guess if you listen to a long album end-to-end it can grow tiresome by the end as it all starts to sound the same. Remember the Cauterize/Dust listening party? The songs were fantastic, but I was kind of overloaded by the end. It's much more palatable listening to the albums individually. They might seem short at 10 songs each, but I think they're still within the sweet spot.
But of course I don't always listen to albums end-to-end, so I'm always glad to have more material to listen to in total.
