Saying that, I'll give it a listen when it comes out.  Tate looks like an idiot in that pic too.

Seeing this just warms my caukles.  I'm so looking forward to a Costanza-voicemail-rage post again.  That post was the thing of legends.  It was gold... GOLD I TELL YA!

 :lol  Thanks bro.

I don't think you'll get anything quite like that as I was so mad with FU because I actually purchased it first.  I don't do that much anymore and Tate will certainly not be getting any of my hard earned cash.  If I'm in the moment though with this new one, anything is possible.

Wasting $20 on that FU drink coaster just made me so damn mad.  I haven't even bothered with it again after that single listen.

It's like Tate's decided to take back the "sounds like a muppet" criticism by making himself look exactly like one.

The best part of the clip is the bit with someone else singing. Overall it's ok, better than I expected to be fair, but as with the last few releases he's worked on the vocals sound like the weakest part.

Unbelievable. So this is what happens to a mind when an ego gets so full of itself it has nowhere to go but get bloated.

Call me crazy but that six min clip of song samples actually sounded pretty good to me. I might actually listen to the album when it comes out.

There was certainly moments where the music was decent. I don't know if it is because of how it was mixed or produced, but it felt like something from the Q2K days. Not a fan of the sound, feels too compressed. Not bad but definitely gave me the feeling of "i think i've heard this before". And of course, the vocals sound completely bland. I'm not sure if Tate is even capable to convey emotion anymore.

I think Geoff still has a decent voice for his age but most of the time he just sounds like he just doesn't give a shit. It's like he's been on auto pilot for the last few years.

Am I the only one who's amused to hear double bass drumming on a new song by Mr. I-Hate-Metal? :P

On a serious note, the music in that video didn't sound like crap, but Tate is easily the weakest link and it sounds like he barely cares. Also, I'm not a superficial person, but that hairdo looks embarrassing! :lol

I can't really tell too much for the clips.  I like the opening where he's talking/typing into the computer and the album cover with the pen drive necklace is kinda cool.  It at least shows that GT put some thought into this concept, as opposed to talking about his penis and making love to his wife, etc. 

I'm a little confused by his new look with the odd hairdo and velvet suit though.  It's a little scary looking, but maybe that's what he's going for.  I'm also looking forward to some GT interviews promoting the new album.  GT interviews are always "fun," lol.

Also, a 7-member band AND guest appearances on the album?  I can't imagine this album/tour selling enough to support a band of that size.

I'm really trying to be open minded but I agree with Bosk. It's decent music that may sink in better after multiple listens but vocally
it's just not up to par for me. And the problem is that he was such an amazing voice for all those years that when you compare it
to his prime it's almost like a totally different person. He just doesn't have the talent any longer. Maybe I'll buy it...maybe I won't.

I went in to that listen fairly optimistic after some positive comments but that was as fucking awful as everything Tate has touched in the last ten years. The vocal lines are bland, the singing woeful, the music could be any third rate band from fifteen years ago.
Thank god for Todd latorre.

If this was a QR release, I not only wouldn't buy it, but I wouldnt even listen to it.

Instead, I'm looking forward to October when QR releases their new album.

Brilliant decision to let Tate go.

I just think they lacked leadership within the group. They had a meal ticket, but ultimately decided it wasn't worth it.

Yeah, that is the case for sure.  I think they probably thought they couldn't even go on without Geoff, but finally got to a point where they felt they had nothing to lose because the dynamic had gotten so bad and the band name had been brought so low.

After hearing those samples a couple more times I really don't know how a label could sign him. His vocals are gone.
