So excited about this album. Production seems to be the best they ever had.

Not the riff starting at 0:14! :lol

But otherwise, yes, there are definitely some new sounds here.

Fates Warning new album preview

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1O7W9PKMEE

Getting more Sympathetic Resonance vibes rather than DiaDL here, which is great. Loved both albums, but SR was definitely the stronger album of the two.

But yeah, this sounds phenomenal. Ray has more bite and power in his voice this time around than normal. I'm digging it.

Shit, this sounds fucking unreal.  My anticipation just skyrocketed.

Hoping for a preview of something soon, the album is out in 5 weeks!

They must had seen my post.  :tup

I'm always excited for new FW, but I didn't expect to like the teaser THIS much!  I'm pretty giddy right now.  Ray sounds outstanding and the whole band is clicking on all cylinders.  I couldn't ask for a better teaser.

Seen this on facebook tonight when I got off work. I'm not sure how to link directly to the post, so I'm copying the text from the message.

"Quick comments on the new album from Jim and Frank:
"Hi Everybody,
To clarify Frank's status with the band, he contributed a couple killer solos on the new record (Mike Abdow did one as well), but due to his current work commitments he will not be able to tour with the band for the foreseeable future. He remains part of the extended FW family and the door is always open for him to return anytime his schedule permits.
We hope to have an album sampler up later this week and the first full song shortly after that. As always, thanks for your support."
~Jim Matheos
---
"I absolutely love Theories of Flight, and I'm proud to be a part of it. I'll continue to do as much as I can, as often as I can, with the band. Meantime, they're in good hands with Mike Abdow, a great guitarist and a great guy. I wish them the best of luck, and look forward to sitting in on a song (or two). smile emoticon"
~Frank Aresti"

A bit of a late response on my part, but thank God both Frank and Mike Abdow are getting to contribute some solos on this album! I have a feeling Jim might be doing some soloing on the album too, from the sound of the album samples (not sure though), but I'm glad to see Frank was able to still be involved for some extent and especially that Mike got to also throw in a contribution too. He's shaping up to be to second guitarist spot in the band what Joey was to the bassist spot back in the APSOG days at this point.

Yeah, that first song I think it was sounds very much like Jim's lead work.

This should be good.

So... a guy stops next to me at a red light today and starts yelling at me. I reluctantly roll down my window and he comments on my DT decal, saying he's a prog drummer. The light turns green, and we drive at 15 mph yelling back and forth about bands through our open windows to the next red light a block away as cars follow behind us. I mention Fates Warning, and he gets pumped when I tell him how good the teaser is and says he's gonna check it out as soon as he gets home. \m/

Yeah, Ray sounds completely re-energized! It's a pleasant surprise! :hefdaddy

BTW, did Jim do all the solos on this song? The opening one is definitely him, but what about the later one?

Later one sounds like Frank to me, but I don't know what the other fella sounds like.  Second one I'm sure definitely isn't Jim, but would have to listen again.

EDIT: Pretty sure it's Frank.

Even though Jim seemed to be more of the creative type in the band, I always found Frank to be the better player overall. You can usually tell the difference between their solos in some of their songs.

Their styles are completely different.  Frank is more of a shredder and technically more proficient.

Mhmm. Also loved Frank as a songwriter. He whipped up some pretty great tracks during the AtG-Perfect Symmetry days.

I always look forward to new FW.  Unfortunately, they never got the popularity they deserved.  Still one of my favorite bands.

Sounds good, but I was hoping for something leaning slightly to the atmosphere of FWX/Disconnected. Guess I'll have to wait a bit, being FW they kinda do the general theme/sound of albums in 2 or 3.

Good stuff - I was a bit disappointed when the heavy stuff started actually (I felt they had more to do with the intro) but I really enjoyed it anyway

Very enjoyable song!

Jarzombek has a very recognizable style. Ray has got that tone that just hits the sweet spot. He struggles live sometimes but on
the studio albums he is like the Sinatra of prog metal.
