So yeah... it is officially out now, I just got my preordered copy and now I can "legally" say - IT's FUCKING AWESOME!
But, being me and all that I will point out a few really, really small "glitches":
- the sudden and abrupt end of We Come Undone.
- the bonus CD isn't really that great (compared to the debut or Free, the latter one having bonus material on par with the album itself, imo). No Celebrations is a really heavy song (especially for OSI), more like the original idea of OSI (think debut) with Tim Bowness doing some really unexpected vocals for him. I thought this was going to be something dark and broody but it turned out to be almost a straight (prog) metal song. The cover song - Christian Brothers. Really? I don't know who picked that but I think it's a bad choice. I don't like that song at all (original too). The extended version of Terminal, however, is pure gold. The first 6 minutes are the same as the album version but after that Kev and Gavin do their thing - great electronic melodies with Gavin doing some really sweet drumming. This time the drums aren't blending in but instead they are out on the surface. Really cool.
- no extended version for Blood
Seriously, Kevin MUST do a re:Blood EP. This album is just asking for it.
The rest of the songs are near or flat out perfect, imo. Because of these minor things I'll give this album a 9.9/10. Yeah, I love OSI that much.
