"CHARACTER" track listing & cover

[MagSec4]

hyena: Hehe.. actually, that is exactly what I was going to add to my post as an edit a few seconds after I sent it. But I honestly thought people might not get it..

 

[hyena]

@mags: well, my working on stochastic differential equations is starting to show its effects then...

 

[Lost To Apathy]

but will it come as digipak, or only regular jewel, will there be bonus-tracks and japanese versions? because if i order it know, i am expecting a regular jewelcase?

 

[rahvin]

i don't know about the case (...) but there aren't going to be release-exclusive tracks for the japanese edition, as far as i know. i can't rule out that there might be b-sides from the lta ep featured as bonus tracks on the japanese version or on the digipak, but i'm almost positive there is no other unreleased material to be featured on this or that limited edition.

 

[Lost To Apathy]

okey.. digis are worthless somehow anyway, they wear out :/ but they are cool holding in your hands.

 

[Schwedentod]

@LtA: There will be a Digipak, Jewelcase and LP version of it...

 

[Misanthrope]

Are those pictures from bladerunner? If they are good call they do look like they inspired the cover.

 

[Lost To Apathy]

@Mis: yup, indeed they are. It might just be a coincidence, since I doubt Niklas just all of a sudden started ripping off art from others, but I just saw the connection.

 

[Misanthrope]

Inspired does not automatically means ripping off you know....

 

[Lost To Apathy]

Yeah I know, my bad.

Or.. that could easily be the above-ground tunnel which carries the train that goes into the train station in the east side of the city.

A train or some other kind of elevated transportation tube is what came to mind for me as well when I first saw the image.

Won't say what else came to mind about a couple other parts of the image, though.

The artwork is phenomenal, it goes along with the music video really well. Like the part in Lost to Apathy that says "covered up from reality" and the setting transforms into the artwork, fucking awesome effect.

 

[Revoluton21X]

in my opinion that looks like its going to one of the best album covers of all time.

 

[La Rocque]

Just received the new Revolver magazine and in the Century Media adv.
'New albums for 2005' at the top of the list is Dark Tranquillity
its on the top on my list also -

 

[spearofthelily666]

just heard 'lost to apathy' song. i'll get the new album- sounds a lot like damage done- i guess i can't imagine which direction they could go after DD, but i guess more of the same can't be that bad....
-b-

It looks like if you order the album with Ginza, you will get the Limited edition. (useless information) I'm guessing it's the digipack with the dark cover. I'm going to order two copies! Yeah, one for the stash.

Hi Folks I found out whats the Bonusstuff on the Limited edition of character:

As well known its the video of Lost to Apathy
and "live footage"
In an Interview Niklas and Mikael tells us what it is this live footage:

What's extra on the digi-pack?
Niklas: Some live video stuff from Korea. It was an amazing experience to play there on the beach with nice settings. I thought there were 15000 people, but it seemed to be 35000. Amazing! It was like a holiday resort: sunset, beautiful beaches, mountains and it was the biggest crowd ever. I was so overwhelmed that I wrote on the website when I got home: thank you people, for being there and make it possible to headline this festival.
Mikael: And there is a part of the 'secret' show in a club in Seoul we did as well and then the video of 'Lost To Apathy'. On the LP the whole cover is different but there are no extra's in music.
