The first album is good; it's a shame that there's only three songs, though.

I have it mostly to complete my collection. It is nowhere near the level of their later albums.

Do you know if there's going to be a bonus track in the Japanese release?

gazinwales · « **Reply #529 on:** January 26, 2016, 01:10:21 AM »

Yes according to NVD.
He posted this on the PM-X Board;

The Japanese version will have a bit more Marty stuff than the other versions (he is extra popular in Japan). The European version has the cover song with my daughter on it plus a few more Poland and Broderick bonus tracks.

Sounds like it might be worth the extra cash.

I freaking despise bonus tracks.

Sometimes a bonus track is better than some of the songs on the main track list. It happens, but it's rare. But it happens. But it's rare...

I love Damaged. I think it's better than the new tunes put out by Dream Theater and Circus Maximus. It's also a dollar on Bandcamp if you guys would like a CD quality version.

wolfking · « **Reply #533 on:** January 26, 2016, 01:51:39 PM »

I'm really looking forward to this album actually.

Shit. I need to track both the European and Japanese editions.

That was the best Megadeth song I've heard in years.

Seriously, this sounds like Rust in Peace-era Megadeth, with Ray Alder on vocals and background synths. Me likey.

Mebert78 · « **Reply #538 on:** February 01, 2016, 11:39:36 AM »

Wow, you guys aren't kidding! Total Megadeth vibe. I REALLY love the album cover. So simple, yet powerful.

I wonder how Bernie is doing. I feel like we haven't heard anything in a while.

mike099 · « **Reply #539 on:** February 01, 2016, 12:06:25 PM »

I pre-ordered the new cd from best buy. I just bought Origins of Ruin and that cd rocks.

wolfking · « **Reply #540 on:** February 01, 2016, 02:17:35 PM »

Sounds like Redemption to me, fucking killer!

Randaran · « **Reply #541 on:** February 01, 2016, 06:59:04 PM »

Damaged was good, but I like Thirty Silver a lot more.

ronnibran · « **Reply #542 on:** February 01, 2016, 07:24:30 PM »

I like Damaged more, but both songs are awesome. Looking forward to this release big time. I think the album cover is great. Sometimes, the simpler the better which is the case here.

I don't care for the "happy ending" line, but the rest was OK.

wolfking · « **Reply #545 on:** February 18, 2016, 03:07:45 PM »

Damn, cool they got Poland for the clip. I really like it, great solos too.

Randaran · « **Reply #546 on:** February 18, 2016, 06:14:09 PM »

I don't like this song as much as Thirty Silver, but its still pretty good. This album has a lot of potential, and may even dethrone The Fullness of Time.

Plasmastrike · « **Reply #547 on:** February 18, 2016, 09:40:07 PM »

Damn, Poland... so great

Always had a soft spot for Redemption after seeing them open for DT on the SC tour

Haven't heard a note but that is some high praise. Looking forward to next Friday.

NoseofNicko · « **Reply #549 on:** February 19, 2016, 10:09:47 PM »

Don't really like any of the songs so far.

They're just not original at all. Still looking forward to the album though.

Nel · « **Reply #550 on:** February 19, 2016, 11:46:50 PM »

I ordered the cd+t-shirt combo and already got the shipping confirmation in my email. That was quick.

ronnibran · « **Reply #551 on:** February 21, 2016, 07:49:06 PM »

So excited for the new album! I discovered Redemption sometime after This Mortal Coil was released, so this is my first fresh album release. I've listened to Damaged several times but the other new ones just once (mainly to keep release day as cool as possible).

I'll probably wait and buy on amazon on Friday. I want the physical cd so I hope they have a thing to download immediately when you order the disc. If not, I'll probably just buy the mp3.

Awesome year for music with new DT and Redemption.

Randaran · « **Reply #552 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:17:28 AM »

My album arrived a day early; I can't wait to give this a listen.

Deathless · « **Reply #553 on:** February 25, 2016, 11:16:45 AM »

The full album is streaming on Soundcloud if anyone wants to listen - link.

mike099 · « **Reply #554 on:** February 25, 2016, 11:29:32 AM »

Mine is being shipped from Best Buy.

I like what I have heard, but 20 + minute tracks are normally hit or miss.

Randaran · « **Reply #555 on:** February 25, 2016, 03:01:15 PM »

I finished my first listen, and, overall, my impressions are positive. Most of it has yet to stick, but I am not worried; Redemption albums have always taken numerous listens to digest. My initial favorites are Slouching Towards Bethlehem and The Center of the Fire.

The epic was pretty good; it's too early to comment on its cohesiveness, but there are a bunch of memorable sections, and it has the emotionally powerful sort of ending every Redemption album since Fullness has displayed.

I'm not yet sure how it compares to the previous four albums, but I would not be surprised if this makes my top 2. I can definitely say, though, that The Art of Loss has the best leads of any Redemption record to date.

wolfking · « **Reply #556 on:** February 25, 2016, 03:02:46 PM »

Yeah, I have the feeling the leads are definitely going to be a big highlight throughout.

Scorpion · « **Reply #557 on:** February 25, 2016, 03:04:48 PM »

Currently on my first listen. The string of songs from Hope Dies Last to The Center of the Fire is astoundingly brilliant. The beginning of the album is slightly below that in quality, at least on first listen.

Looking forward to the epic.

bosk1 · « **Reply #558 on:** February 25, 2016, 03:24:59 PM »

Good time for this album to come out. I have a long road trip scheduled tomorrow.

Scorpion · « **Reply #559 on:** February 26, 2016, 11:02:43 AM »

So I just finished my second listen.

So far, I am absolutely loving this album. All the shorter songs are great (though I'm not the hugest fan of the The Who cover), and every individual part of the epic is too, I'm just not too sold on some of its transitions. It might improve on future listens, but either way, I'm extremely happy with this album. A big step up from This Mortal Coil, in my opinion - that one had a few really great songs like Noonday Devil or Dreams from the Pit, but also quite a few songs that I didn't like all that much (Perfect, Begin Again and Focus, mainly).

EDIT: Also, I should mention that I absolutely love the cover. Probably my favourite of their album arts.
