Right, that video's convinced me. I fancy buying this album.

Question, though - and I can't find the answer on Amazon, on Radiant Records, on the Flying Colors website, anywhere. What's the difference between the standard edition and the limited edition?

The King in Crimson · « **Reply #1051 on:** April 28, 2012, 11:29:00 AM »

The limited edition is a digipak.

That's the only difference.

Interesting video, although it figures that they did one for one of the few songs I do not like.

Aha! That explains it.

I don't even like digipacks, so - perfect! Free money! Thanks, Flying Colors.

The captions

'Jamming on the Ostinato is illegal in South America'

Loved Steve Morse's narration. Nice to see a guitar player who understands the mechanics of his instrument.

Love the captions. I love watching the behind the scenes stuff in music as well as sports.

That was a great video. It's so much fun, especially the parts with Neal, Mike and Casey working out the vocal harmonies. Also, the captions are hilarious.

Yeah he loves to make those comparisons on every song

Hope they announce a tour soon, I'm interested in seeing them live.

Love the captions.

MIXING
Nothing interesting happened.

That is a GREAT video. In lieu of a proper making-of-DVD with the release of the album, these clips are pretty good. I'd like to see one for EACH song, featuring video from some (or all) of the band members and their input on the song.

I think releasing one of these every couple weeks would be a great way to build up to a major tour announcement!

Nick · « **Reply #1064 on:** April 29, 2012, 05:33:21 PM »

As cool as that would be, it's a lot of work, and I'm really happy with this one if it is the only one.

bobs23 · « **Reply #1065 on:** April 29, 2012, 05:50:58 PM »

You never know what these guys will pull out

That's what she said.

And also, WHAT DO YOU KNOW?!?

snapple · « **Reply #1067 on:** April 30, 2012, 06:55:58 AM »

The album is actually aging pretty well. The vocals are kind of flat in parts, but when he nails it...he fucking nails it.

obscure · « **Reply #1068 on:** May 02, 2012, 08:14:07 AM »

haven't seen the video yet... keep forgetting to check it out when I have access to YT.... maybe because they chose my least-fav track to shoot video for... $:-\$

The metal track is your least favorite? I think this forum is getting to you

KevShmev · « **Reply #1070 on:** May 02, 2012, 09:29:33 AM »

Metal or not, the vocal melodies are too ugly for SCW to be anything more than mediocre. The music is good, but the vocal melodies are just blech. It almost sounds like they went for a Muse feel with them, but missed the mark badly, at least in terms of quality. Thank goodness most of the rest of the album is really good (save for tracks 9 and 10).

I totally agree. It is my least favorite song on the album as well. I was making a joke

Although, I like Fool in my heart. It's a really nice song.

ariich · « **Reply #1072 on:** May 02, 2012, 12:55:33 PM »

Couldn't disagree more about SCW, it's one of my favourite songs on the album, and a large part of that is the vocal melodies. Each to their own I guess.

Either that or your musical taste sucks.... It doesn't really, just in this particular case

I like SCW. It's a fun song.

MP tweeted that we're getting tour dates tomorrow, "very special tour w only a handful of dates".

Nick · « **Reply #1079 on:** May 03, 2012, 11:22:58 AM »

I also remember a tweet awhile back that said Sep. 4th, LA, Sep. 6th NYC, save the dates! or something to that effect. I hope that's NOT Flying Colors as I'm leaving on a big trip Sep 7th, and while that won't keep me from the show, it would make it quite difficult on me.

I hate to be a downer, but I would almost guarantee this will be US (+Canadian date or three maybe), and Europe.

And before any full announcement, I'd like to come back to my prediction of the small size of this tour.

KevShmev · « **Reply #1081 on:** May 03, 2012, 02:49:46 PM »

Calling this a "special tour' with the implication being that it is special because fans will only be able to catch them in a small number of cities is rather silly, considering they'd probably go to as many cities as possible, but demand for it is probably nil since they are still a complete unknown, thus they are likely taking what can get right now; that is hardly special.

Having said that, I'd like to see them, but I seriously doubt St. Louis will be one of the chosen few.

cyberdrummer · « **Reply #1082 on:** May 03, 2012, 03:32:53 PM »

Hoping for a London show.

FlyingBIZKIT · « **Reply #1083 on:** May 03, 2012, 04:38:05 PM »

I hope Atlanta

To be honest, I've never been to a "real" concert

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #1084 on:** May 03, 2012, 04:40:44 PM »

A Philly date with tickets in the $25-30 range would make me a happy camper.
