When was the last time you were as excited/anxious for an album as you are for this upcoming album?

LieLowTheWantedMan · August 22, 2011, 03:24:25 PM

3 months ago, for Unexpect's latest.

John94 · August 22, 2011, 03:24:40 PM

Probably before the first time I saw them live.

DTFan0789 · August 22, 2011, 03:26:30 PM

Two years ago for Black Clouds and Silver Linings.

I was very excited for Symphony X's and Iron Maiden's last albums, but I'm more excited for DT's than I was for them. So I guess the last time I was at this level of excitement was for Metallica's Death Magnetic, which was 2008. I went through kind of a rough patch during BC&SL's release, so I wasn't overly excited for that one.

blackngold29 · August 22, 2011, 03:27:12 PM

Ehhh, probably never.

Mosh · August 22, 2011, 03:29:49 PM

Last year for Maiden's album.

That. The Whirlwind was pretty close, though.

Madman Shepherd · August 22, 2011, 03:37:56 PM

Heaven & Hell - The Devil You Know.

I'm a huge Dio fan so that was a dream come true...I think this may actually top that though

wammabe · August 22, 2011, 03:52:46 PM

never ever

This. I have never been THIS excited for any single event in my life, honestly.

Hmm, if you open it up that far I would probably say that SW Episode III was bigger for me.

Heretic · August 22, 2011, 04:00:27 PM

Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare. That's about it though.

N4Player · August 22, 2011, 04:12:12 PM

I don't think I have been this insanely excited for an album before.

ricky · August 22, 2011, 04:21:52 PM

in all honesty, i was just as excited for this album as i was the past three. not saying im not excited for this one, but yeah.

Nel_Annette · August 22, 2011, 04:24:07 PM

The last time... probably when Yes announced Fly From Here. Before that... definitely when Alice In Chains announced Black Gives Way To Blue.

Evo · August 22, 2011, 04:24:22 PM

DT album? SFAM. Othewsise, Real Illusions by Steve Vai and before that, Terria by Devin Townsend.

Kotowboy · August 22, 2011, 04:30:57 PM

Probably Be Here Now by oasis. Too bad it wasn't anywhere near as good as Morning Glory.

That or Infernal Love by Therapy? which wasn't anywhere near as good as Troublegum.

Or American Idiot by Green Day, which I enjoyed immensely.

Aniland · August 22, 2011, 04:33:26 PM

Jan-Mar 2010, new Avantasia albums

darkshade · August 22, 2011, 04:38:06 PM

As far as albums go, probably Neal Morse's Testimony 2 this past May. Before that, I'm not sure. Maybe BC&SL to be honest.

KevShmev · August 22, 2011, 04:41:32 PM

Both new albums by the Devin Townsend Project this summer.

This guy knows what he's talking about.

DarkEternalNight · August 22, 2011, 04:53:48 PM

Opeth's Heritage.

ElliottTamer · August 22, 2011, 05:25:07 PM

I've never been so excited for an album before, but that might have something to do with my a) having quite a lot of free time over the past semester, while I am usually flooded with stuff to do and b) my staying connected and checking out new snippets, interviews, participating in DTF, which I had never really done much before.

xShammas · August 22, 2011, 05:35:25 PM

BTBAM's The Parallax. Before that dates all the way back to like, Death Magnetic or Dethalbum II. Because I wasn't into DT yet when BCSL came out.

jonny108 · August 22, 2011, 05:44:27 PM

This is easily my most anticipated album ever! Much more excited for this record than any of the previous 4.

Obfuscation · August 22, 2011, 10:02:41 PM

When BTBAM's EP came out but my excitement for this album is just insane. I never have been this crazy for one before.

atalkingfish · August 22, 2011, 10:17:16 PM

Never. Maybe Weird Al's alpocalypse, but not really considering he started streaming it, like, 3 days after it really sunk in for me and I had already heard, like, half of it from his "Internet Leaks" EP.

But seriously, I found DT after Black Clouds and Silver Linings, and I've grown to appreciate their music so much more than I thought one could appreciate music, and I've gotten massive amounts of respect and inspiration (I write music) from their music. And since this has all happened between Black Clouds and now, I'm pretty dang excited. Super-excited, even.

JayOctavarium · August 22, 2011, 10:19:06 PM

David Gilmour's Live in Gdansk....

GasparXR · August 22, 2011, 10:26:04 PM

I'm more excited for ADTOE than I am excited for ADTOE. That's how excited for ADTOE I am! :durr

senecadawg2 · August 22, 2011, 10:36:07 PM

i'm more excited about the Hobbit, to be released in December of 2012

Ytsejammin · August 23, 2011, 01:04:19 PM

I always have a huge chubb for new DT. I even skiup going to work that day. It's like Christmas at my house on a DT release day.

Zydar · August 23, 2011, 01:07:01 PM

I was really excited for BCSL since it was the first new DT album since I became a fan. But the excitement for ADTOE is previously unheard of for me.

yorost · August 23, 2011, 01:10:50 PM

Earlier this year for Hiromi's new album.

Jamesman42 · August 23, 2011, 01:23:05 PM

I think this is my most anticipated release ever. Definitely for DT at least.

That is because

1. DT's release are like no other, to me. I was excited for new Neal Morse (Lifeline and T2) and they both delivered, but I wasn't like I GOTTA HAVE THOSE ALBUMS. Same with Thrice's new album coming out. Do want, but can wait. A DT release is special, and even a cursory glimpse over at 5/8 testifies to how, at least different it can be to wait for a DT release.

2. This is the album where MP is gone. To be honest, I am glad for what it spawned: the addition of Mangini and a steering toward different songwriting (or getting back to their roots). I am basing this on OTBOA and the snippets.

3. On the Backs of Angels is superb. I love that song to pieces, and unlike most things off of the last 2 albums, this song is sticking with me a LOT more and feels like an actual good song (whereas other songs lost their initial charm quickly, OTBOA is STILL fresh to me...good sign). If OTBOA is an indicator of the goodness of ADTOE, then, to me, this will at least be a top 5 album to me in the long haul.

I am super excited. Not keeping hopes up, but those facts have me wanting it now
