I love the album but I haven't got around to ripping the files off the CD to my phone to listen anywhere.

I'm really hoping for a second album and tour.

Hopefully next year after Levin finishes the Gabriel tour.

I would put the chances of a second one to be close to nil.

Hmmmm, I guess my thought that my post the other day would spurn more talk about this album was wrong. ??? :censored

I thought my last comment in January would do the same.

instead I killed this thread, yo.

Yes, Why do you think that?
Do you know something we don't? Was there some announcement made?

Not trying to be combative, just curious as I thought the response such as it was was pretty positive.

It's a combination of things for me. For one, the combination of musicians is something that struck me as unlikely to begin with. Secondly, the album didn't really take off all that much.
EDIT: Thirdly, it was never performed live. I think at least to some degree it shows the level of commitment to the project.

Point taken.

But I don't think the combination is unlikely. I view this as a special project rather than a band. Also, in viewing it that way I'm not sure how much "success" was required to have the second album option.

They justified their reason that it wasn't going to be performed live by saying there wasn't enough material (I wouldn't have a had a problem with that, but I guess they do) and the schedule didn't allow for it. Also they left the door open for revisiting some shows if they recorded a second album which would give them the material.

Obviously, this was not going to turn into anyone's day job, but I think it would be a very enjoyable distraction for everyone involved.


But not knowing what qualifies it as a success and commitment level may prove your point in the long run.

Awesome!

Was just about to ask if that was a real picture of them in suites, for some reason I thought it looked photoshoped...

Nice.  I remember reading in an interview with Rudess earlier this year that this was in the works.

Okay folks, have some great news for tomorrow's show.

Firstly, we will be featuring an album of the year contender which is the new Fates Warning.

But that's not the big news...

In what I think may be a first in the long run of the show, we will be having a song premier on the show.

Tomorrow night will be the very first chance to hear "Back to the Machine" off of From the Law Offices of Levin Minnemann Rudess.

And of course you can pre-order that album here: https://www.lazybones.com/buy-stuff

I'm still working on the rest of the show, but those two bits alone make it one worth checking out!

Okay, that's some copy pasta from my show's thread, but I'm sure the folks here are less familiar with my show, so here is what you need to know. My show starts at 6pm Eastern, and the link is www.wpapu.com. From there there are instructions on how to listen, and if you choose (and I hope you do), chat. I'm not an evil man that is going to force you to potentially listen to three hours of my show to hear this. I'm only going to force you to listen to up to an hour, as I will play the track in the first hour. Of course I hope you'll stick around after that, or subscribe to the podcasts in the future. ;)

So, for those excited for this, I hope you'll come visit tomorrow for a premier from the album!

Still need to pick this up. I've been putting it off for a while now.
