Yes, Irritated that's not on the site yet for pre-order. dafuq

gazinwales · « **Reply #8 on:** July 24, 2014, 12:25:32 PM »

Wow I am stunned, I thought they were done and dusted.
I haven't listened to them in ages.
A very welcome return to say the least.

ThatOneGuy2112 · « **Reply #9 on:** July 25, 2014, 12:33:42 AM »

Holy hell. I remember hearing bits and pieces of A Blueprint of the World and enjoying it thoroughly, but never really got fully into them. Didn't seem like they were active at all during the time either so I thought they were done.

Definitely gonna check these guys out now that I'm reminded.

So I happened to get Juggling 9 Or Dropping 10 last year through some giant web store sale, but never bothered to listen to it.

With news of the new album, and now that I am familiar with Ted Leonard, I've decided to listen to that album and I am loving it! I've decided to sample the rest of their discography but I've seen prices for the albums on Amazon and eBay and they're mostly hard-to-find or very expensive, except the last 3 albums. I guess I missed the boat with them as their first 3 or 4 albums are pricey.

But I'm sad I've missed out on them until now, but I'm glad I'm getting into them now that they have a new album coming out soon! I need more new music this year since it's been kind of boring for me.

I am one of probably many here who come to this new Enchant album having been introduced to the vocal stylings of Ted Leonard through his magnificent work on Spock's Beard's 11th opus, Brief Nocturnes & Dreamless Sleep.

I got it through the same sale (I assume), along with a bunch of other albums. Something ridiculous like 70% off everything, if I remember correctly. I could use another one of those sales sometime soon

But yeah, Juggling 9 or Dropping 10 is a great album.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #13 on:** July 26, 2014, 04:44:08 PM »

I own all and Juggling is my favorite

Juggling is no. 2 behind Blueprint for me. Hoping they tour, it would be nice to see them again as a fan instead of the first time I saw them way the heck back on the Blueprint tour when they opened for Marillion.

I'm excited to see some new output from Enchant. Sure has been long enough. Though I would really love for Paul Craddick to be playing drums with them again.

Have you not heard "Break" then? I like the title track and "My Enemy" but the rest of that album is forgettable.

Mebert78 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 28, 2014, 10:03:03 AM »

I'm not familiar with this band, but I like the teaser and artwork. I'll check this out for sure.

While I was on vacation for 5 days I didn't get much news, but of what I got, this was clearly the best of it.

ytserush · « **Reply #19 on:** July 29, 2014, 07:34:12 PM »

Nice!

I thought it was over.

Cover looks great.

Interested to hear what they come up with. Eleven years is a long time.

The Letter M · « **Reply #20 on:** July 29, 2014, 09:35:18 PM »

So I was listening to "Beautiful" from their album Tug Of War and it reminded me of "The Wall" by Kansas. Does anyone else get that feeling or is it just me?

-Marc.

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #21 on:** July 29, 2014, 09:41:33 PM »

Break has some great lyrics. It gets too much crap.

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #22 on:** July 29, 2014, 10:04:40 PM »

Break is a great record. "My Enemy" "The Lizard" "King" the title track are some of the best songs in Enchant's catalog.

I am missing Break. I want the special edition with the extra track which is OOP from what I can see.

Also missing one of the others I can't recall.

Comatose from Tug of War maybe in my all-time favorite songs. The solo is just killer.

I figured from your avatar. We were talking about SB and Shadow Gallery on facebook the other week.

As good a suggestion as any I guess.

Don't get turned off by Wounded. That was when Magna Carta wanted them and every other band on the label to sound like Dream Theater.

They made a post on FB concerning Bay Area shows. Looks like at least I'll get to see them.

It sounds like classic Enchant.
