    Agreed - that's a great title. Loved their last one, with Ted Leonard. High hopes and expectations for this one.

    Fully expect this to be THE album of 2015 based on the samples I've heard online

    Haven't heard their last few albums, but saw them in 2008 and it was a really enjoyable, fun show.

    I thought it was said that they are doing the same set they did for the last tour with the inclusion of 1 track from the new disc.

    That is true, Gruno! And after their California setlist this Saturday we can probably confirm that, too.

    Looking forward to the new album, and their tour of cruise ship the Norwegian Pearl in November!

    Will see them in Montreal with Haken on April 29 - Haken being a group that seems to be overlooked here at PE....at least, it seems to me.

    Any love for these guys? I'm a big fan of The Mountain.

    I have become a big Haken fan. I like "Visions" a bit better than "The Mountain", but they are both great albums. Looking forward to seeing them at ROSfest.

    Haken is a fabulous band. Visions, The Mountain and Aquarius are all excellent.

    Regards,

    Just read at www.ironbutterfly.com that their new bass player is Dave Meros. That is awesome and amazing that not one original member is in the band yet it carries on.

    Their website indicates that the original drummer, Ron Bushy, is still a member of the band (although on medical leave)

    They have a song called "Minion?"

    Will it be in the movie??

    Thanks for posting the album cover art & track listing.

    Looks like a Spock's Beard mug sitting on the bench.

    Looking more at that cover, is it just me, or are there nuggets from their earlier albums all over it?

    I see the "X" from X, and the ">" from V....

    The rainbow fish on the wall and the buckets from Feel Euphoria....

    The "Y" crossroads sign is on the wall, from Snow...

    There's definitely something to it.

    Is the covered lamp suppose to remind you of The Light? This is getting good.

    I see something from every SB album except for Beware of Darkness & Kindness.

    DFN & Octane pictures on wall. The Light = glow in the lamp. The fishing pole = Brief Nocs, The mug logo = S/T, The "> sign" on the floor = V.

    Beware of Darkness reference might be the light coming in from the window...perhaps it will look more that way on the physical CD.

    Haven't found anything from Kindness yet! But they usually play tracks from that album in concert, so I doubt they snubbed it intentionally.
