Machinae Supremacy

Aaand another:

At this rate, I wonder how many songs on the album we won't have already heard by the time it comes out

I guess it is.

I won't have heard any because I'm a stickler about listening to albums in their entirety. ^^

I was going to avoid listening to the previews as well, but I ended up breaking down.

Edit: Actually, that one is apparently going to be the last one.

I guess it is.

The album arrived yesterday. I'm listening to it now. So far: awesome.

Edit: After finishing it...it's not their best. It has some great songs on it, and it's a good album overall, but it's a definitely a step down from Overworld.

I guess it is.

Christ, and most fans bitch about Overworld being a step down from Redeemer.

Do they? I thought those two were about even. This one is good, anyway. I dunno. "Force Feedback" is awesome, at least (and a total Ear Worm).

Maybe I'm judging it too harshly. Looking again at the tracklist, there isn't anything I really remember disliking.

I guess it is.

I agree on Force Feedback being a total Ear Worm Right now it is my fave song on the new album (not enough to dislodge any from the top faves)

OK I had a listen. It's the shit.

I dunno, maybe it's just because it's new but it's been a long time since I've been able to sit through an entire album of this stuff without getting bored. There weren't any really bad songs I can think of (though the lyrics of Persona and One Day In The Universe were pretty cringe-worthy, but that doesn't really affect my opinion of the album very much).
