01 : Blue Ocean (7:05)
02 : Shoulda Coulda Woulda (4:32)
03 : Kayla (5:20)
04 : The Storm (4:53)
05 : Forever in a Daze (3:56)
06 : Love is What I’m Waiting For (3:36)
07 : Everything Changes (6:55)
08 : Better Than Walking Away (4:57)
09 : All Falls Down (3:22)
10 : Fool in My Heart (3:48)
11 : Infinite Fire (12:02)

Looks pretty sweet. Looks like the last track is the long-epic they (Mike and Neal) have eluded to, and the track lengths are pretty varied (from 3:22 to 7:05 inbetween).

Pretty sweet cover, pretty sweet track names...now I'm even MORE pumped for this.

Oh, that's gorgeous!

Yes, I think this looks like the most promising Portnoy project since he left DT. Superb.

^ This. Beautiful, I love the strings. Gives a sense that something from the wire-frame-person is being swept away; not just some random pieces floating next to him.

Now track listing!? Wooot! Looks amazing. I, I, I so excite.

I would love to think so. The cover is awesome, definitely, now it all comes down to the music.

I'm liking what I'm hearing so far. Now I'm pretty interested to hear more.

and I absolutely love the album art.

Mladen · « **Reply #252 on:** January 11, 2012, 08:56:57 AM »

I already love the album cover.

But man, I'm afraid to play the trailer, I'm supposed to study today.

Nick · « **Reply #253 on:** January 11, 2012, 09:01:35 AM »

Awesome, can't wait to hear more.

Tick · « **Reply #254 on:** January 11, 2012, 09:12:19 AM »

I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!!!!!

Nekov · « **Reply #255 on:** January 11, 2012, 09:28:21 AM »

That trailer had some very interesting stuff. Now the 2 month wait start....

theseoafs · « **Reply #256 on:** January 11, 2012, 09:29:01 AM »

Loving this music! Not really what I was expecting but it was a pleasant surprise.

MuumiPeikko · « **Reply #257 on:** January 11, 2012, 09:36:03 AM »

What I heard in EPK is great! Can't wait to hear the entire album! Even more than AMob

Dimitrius · « **Reply #258 on:** January 11, 2012, 09:38:17 AM »

I'm really, really hoping this doesn't turn out as bland and generic as AM because my interest in this is sky high!

Bongasti · « **Reply #261 on:** January 11, 2012, 09:57:16 AM »

Both the music from the video and the album cover are really, really good. Of course I didn't have a clue of what kind of music it would be but this was a great surprise!

Pinga · « **Reply #262 on:** January 11, 2012, 10:07:17 AM »

This sounds pretty sweet.

The Letter M · « **Reply #263 on:** January 11, 2012, 10:14:49 AM »

The clip of "Kayla" sounds awesome. I love the shift from 7/8 to 6/8. I hope a lot of the music involves changes like this, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

the second song clip sounds pretty intense and heavy! Must be one of the heavier songs on the album.

The quieter clip with Mike doing a snare-groove sounds pretty smooth, and the guitar "solo"? sounded pretty nice.

BTW, Casey's voice sounds amazing on this, and the music sounds amazing. I think I heard MP vocals at the end of the clip, which don't sound TOO bad, IMO, and it suits the music heard with it.

March 27th...marked on my calendar and counting down!

BTW, it's up for Pre-Order:

https://mascotlabelgroup.com/mlg/releases/flying-colors/?reload

Limited Edition Digipak CD, Regular CD, and as a Double Vinyl, for those of you who like that.

Oh, and I got paid today. Guess who's taking some of my money.

EDIT - Just pre-ordered, and the online receipt came up as this:

Flying Colors + Free Poster (Pre-Order) – CD

Wait... Free Poster!?! (It was on the webpage, but I must have overlooked it...oops)

Pre-order now, guys!!! I hope it's a poster of the album art because I'm just falling in love with it.

-Marc.

TioJorge · « **Reply #265 on:** January 11, 2012, 10:41:05 AM »

All of that sounded SO great; I can't wait for this.

Yeah, in my excitement, I over looked it, as noted above, but it's still a pretty sweet deal. It comes to just under $20 USD, so for a CD of an hour's worth of music PLUS a free poster, it's totally worth the pre-order! Mascot's just taking ALL my money lately (with this and the SB X-Tour Live 2CD/DVD set).

Just watched the little video of them all gloating over themselves. The music sounds interesting. I am intrigued by this, though I am iffy on the vocals.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #269 on:** January 11, 2012, 10:54:09 AM »

I like the cover and song titles/lengths a lot. Not a super-obvious long prog song direction. I like what I hear in the music.

is there a US site to order from? Not looking to order from overseas

darkshade · « **Reply #271 on:** January 11, 2012, 10:59:49 AM »

March is turning into what September 2011 was. LOTS of new and interesting releases. Can't wait.

Normally, I wouldn't order from overseas either, but this is straight from the label, and the pre-order is fairly cheap for a new CD in a digipak, and you get a free poster, all for $19.68 USD. Pretty solid deal, I think, and even if shipping ends up being close to $10, I still wouldn't mind, especially since they're shipping early so those who pre-order can get the album before/near release date.

antigoon · « **Reply #273 on:** January 11, 2012, 11:07:06 AM »

I'd at least like to hear this, which is more than I can say for the Adrenaline Mob record.

Nick · « **Reply #274 on:** January 11, 2012, 11:11:50 AM »

I'm having massive issues trying to get that site to work properly for me, keeps putting the wrong things in my shopping cart and is not allowing me to remove them. Will have to try another day.

TL · « **Reply #275 on:** January 11, 2012, 11:21:05 AM »

Still not 100% sold on the vocals, but this project definitely seems interesting so far. Musically, I like what I was hearing in that preview, and the cover art is pretty great.

Man, I am really loving Casey's vocals from that clip. I wondered how he would mesh with a bunch of proggy guys, but it sounds great to my ears. Cool music, too. Eagerly anticipating.

chrisbDTM · « **Reply #279 on:** January 11, 2012, 12:00:07 PM »

do you guys know if they hosted the preview somewhere other than youtube. work blocks all youtube links
