Any DTFers in a position to review the album early?

I know there are several members of DTF that have a legitimate foot in the music industry.  Rich Wilson, Nick, Nem and Rainee (who has certainly heard it) and the RR guy come to mind and there may be others.  Not asking for info that would not be otherwise released without band/label approval, but since we are all EAGER for more info, just wondering.  Maybe DTF could get an advanced brief from anyone who has permission to listen and report ?

Nem, lonestar, and Nick will probably all get advanced copies, and I'm sure they will review them accordingly as soon as they are allowed to do so.

I usually don't put much stock into those early reviews. The reviewers know there's a lot of eyes on their review, so they don't dare do an honest assessment.

Blob gets to hear it early too, doesn't he? If I recall he heard ADTOE early, but that might have been so he could make the videos for the tour which had already begun when the album was released. Could you comment, Blob? :biggrin:

Yeah, that was for the videos, since the headlining tour usually starts around the time the album comes out. Since the tour starts later this time, I don't know what the schedule will be like for me this time.

On DT14 they played so fast that the album travels back in time, and they released it as DT10.

So it's actually BC&SL? I don't like the sound of this.

What's BC&SL stand for? I was under the presumption for the almost 4 years that I've owned the Black Ink album, that it was indeed their tenth. I can't even imagine what BC&SL could stand for as an album title.

Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?
