I guess i'm a bit late on this one, but i must have listened to the album about 20 times in the best couple of days, and every time it ends, i just start over. I can't seem to get enough of it. Kenneth R mentioned that there are no vocal hooks on it. Seriously? I can't get any of the songs out...

Note that i've only heard End of Innocence so far, and i liked what i heard. I don't plan on listening to the others until the album is out though.

Not passing judgment until album is out. Not passing judgment until album is out. Not passing judgment until album is out. Not passing judgment until album is out. Not passing judgment until album is out. Is Prometheus longer than the previous new songs played? Or same dynamic? Short and heavy.?

I'm actually a big fan of the song Paradise Lost, and i do consider it a mini-epic of sorts. As soon as the guitar arpeggios in the intro join in with the piano it feels like the journey has begun. Yeah, that's the song i'm referring to. I think Russ himself called it a mini-epic, and...

So who's thinking that the mini-epic on the album will be the title track? It would keep the trend of the last 2 albums going. (Although there is nothing "mini" about The Odyssey)

I guess you missed the part where he said "wouldn't it be funny if..." And about the Odyssey, i would actually settle for it to be re-recorded with an actual orchestra. Majestic.

Sure, we get a double disc, but then they make us hold out 10 years for their next release!!!

Exactly what i meant with my post. I obviously wasn't talking about the brainless kind of catchy. Moving on....NEW SONGS, hell yea!

I guess i was going to have to do this eventually. In no specific order: Metallica – Master of Puppets Metallica - …And Justice for All Metallica – Ride the Lightning Metallica - Metallica Dream Theater – Train of Thought Symphony X – The Odyssey Alter Bridge...

I'll back off a bit, and retract PL since it's just my Heavy Metal side trying to get some attention. Sticking with TO (and i'll also throw in V). It's a pretty easy formula for me. What makes a song/album (specifically in this genre) a great one: - Musicianship - How well thought out it...

I think saying that Paradise Lost & The Odyssey (special emphasis on The Odyssey here) were NOT high quality material is not fair to the band at all, especially considering what the music scene is nowadays. I could put The Odyssey, if not both of them, ahead of any album released in the past ten...

Long time forum prowler, first time poster. Just noticed this thread is almost at 1,000 replies, an still no album! Me and a couple friends have been planning our own little listening party for way too long. Fingers crossed that a couple more months is all it's gona take!
