Dat chorus in FIAD

It's really good! Even my gf loves that song, and the chorus has stuck in her mind too :lol

Took me awhile to get to like it, but it's a great song that continues the awesomeness that began with the prior four tracks!

"Blue Ocean" is also pretty good, too. I also really love the chorus of "Kayla"...and "The Storm"...and "Better Than Walking Away"...and "Love Is What I'm Waiting For"...and "Infinite Fire".

Oh, and the Rush reference in the beginning of this album makes me Geddy every time I hear it.

You are correct. During one of the intro videos of Rush's last tour it's something that Ged's character says.

Yeah, it's pretty hot.  My only quibble with the song is the way it ends, too jarring.

It's a very pretty digipak too. :)

Got this yesterday, listened to it only a bit so far but Kayla, Blue Ocean, and Forever In A Daze are pretty awesome.  Kayla, especially, is really catchy and fun. Love Is What I'm Waiting For and Everything Changes are kinda blah so far though.  They just seem to go by without really making an impression.

It's not childish at all; it's perfectly understandable.

Doesn't seem fair that some folks who pre-ordered aren't receiving theirs today. :(

That's why pre-orders sucks, especially if it is a band whose CD you can probably find at Best Buy on the Tuesday that it comes out (which probably doesn't include Flying Colors).

   I totally agree, and its stuff like that why I buy music primarily off Itunes.

Its so liberating to have the album immediately and not have to worry about best buy not carrying it, or snail mail taking its dear sweet time.

Without hearing a single note, I just purchased the album, solely on what's been said here.  If you guys are wrong, you owe me ten bucks.

I remember hearing about this project, and I was like, "Oh cool, another Portnoy/Morse thing." Damn, it blew me away.
