The more of these videos I see the more anxious I get for the new album. From all of the sound bits I have heard in the videos thus far I feel that this album may end up breaking into my top 3 EG albums. Right now my absolute favorite is TIC and tying for second/third are RD and ISoT. I am liking the atmosphere that the keys are creating in the clip you hear a small amount of in the video. I hope Rikard gets a nice role on this album because I feel keyboard is very important in creating a dark and moody atmosphere in music.
I hope EG are planning on going back to producing this all on their own because MMA is my least favorite album of them all because I could tell the difference in production of the music. Even had I not known that they had someone else come in and produce it I would have been able to notice something was not right. I understand it was done mostly out of curiousness to see what they would sound like, yet I feel that even the band noticed a big difference in the overall sound of MMA resulting in them wanting to go back to producing themselves. The music is THEIR vision and should only be handled by them.
