nice find.. i wonder which effect they will add with the lenticular cover?!

I'm quite puzzled by that extra second song title, as it is different from the titles we have heard before, and is very close to Breathe Again.. i doubt a band would have two similar song titles in their repetoir..?!
Your'e being sarcastic right?

It was recorded but never released, the others being the two you mentioned and Cruel Sun (not sure this one was recorded, but I believe it was performed at the same event as On My Way Now). If it's the same song (and it would be weird if it wasn't), that means Wind Up are no longer preventing their release which is AWESOME news and has me almost as excited as I am for the album :lol

Hi! Just registered to ask a question. I want to pre-order the album(only digital) but I guess itunes does not permit downloading to PCs. So, is there an alternative source to buy that will allow me to download the songs to my devices once the album releases? Thanks.
Can you deny the denial? I didn't think so...

This was my reaction to hearing The Other Side and The Last Hero snippets. Can we talk about how TOS is so sinister sounding?!

"The Other Side" is one hell of a song. Very haunting verse and bridge!
Same for "The Last Hero" - they are the most "unconventional" AB songs (in a good way!).

By the way - it will be hard to pick a "best song". They're all unique in terms of storytelling.
The lyrics are fitting very well to the music in almost each song.

It seems that this album is a mixture of ABIII and Fortress if this review is to be trusted, though they seemed to like the the less experimental tracks the most.

Suddenly the current 3 week wait is going to be much harder to get through.
