Since the band has rehearsed this album so much, a performance at ProgDay might be a great way to premiere the album!!

Congrats on the new album!

I love Susie's vocals. If I can't have Jon Davison, I'll take her!!!
And that artwork...
I cannot wait.

It's great to hear a band producing so much music these days. It will be interesting to hear Suzie singing all the lead vocals.
Where were y'all then Three Cheers For the Broken Hearted came out

I don't think they said Susie does all the lead vocals. I think she does most. Which I hope is true (I want to hear the guys as well). Although one of them sang lead on the last one, I think the last time the other did it was on Three Cheers.
Ex-Presto Ballet singer Scott Albright (Nutter) would be a good fit for them.
Actually, I really enjoyed Carl Groves' vocals on The Breaking Of The World. That was one fine, fine CD all around.
But I do love Susie's voice as well, so this will be a welcome addition.

If they bring back at least some of those ELP nods that are far more present on the earlier albums, I'm all for it. Even better if there's something new, meaning - the word progressive gets a literal development.
Would be interesting to know if/when there'll be some teasers as the previous albums had several.
When can I and I pre-order dis ting, mon?

The band announced his departure a few months ago. My impression is it wasn't a creative decision, rather things just couldn't work out schedule-wise. Dunno if he lives in another state or what. I agree that changes are good. Glass Hammer have never had a consistent lineup, why start now?

Vocalists come and go, never seems to adversely affect the quality of the albums. Looking forward to this one.
Glass Hammer certainly isn't beholden to any one singer (see Ode To Echo.) I have enjoyed all of them: Michelle Young, Walter Moore, Carl Groves, etc.
But I personally think they are at their best with either Susie or Jon rocking the mic.
So yeah, I'm pretty psyched.
Thanks for all the great music Fred and Steve!!!

I would have liked to have heard more male /female harmonies. I thought Jon and Susie's vox would have harmonized well together but that never happened.
Pre-orders started today. Got mine in!

Just pre-ordered.
Loved the last several CDs, but I thought The Breaking of the World was quite magnificent. Listening to it now actually.
