I saw the album montage on Youtube (think it's legal?). "Go to Hell" sounds amazing, but those lyrics are crazy raw.

Just checked out the sampler and "Waving" and I have high hopes for this album.

I didn't like either of the first two albums with the exception of a few songs of each of the albums. This album seems more appealing, with the exception of the "Fuck you" lyrics which just make me giggle.

It has leaked I think. A few weeks ago there were videos on YouTube of some of the songs, and just to make sure, I listened to like 5 seconds of On the Plane (I think it was that) and yeah it was real. Not good quality though. The videos were soon taken down anyway.

I wouldn't recommend listening to leaks, it sort of kills the whole mood of the album. I made that mistake with A7X's Nightmare.

On another topic, I quite like the Waving promo video. Its not like their previous stuff since Lasse Hoile didn't make the video, but I liked No-man's "Back When You Were Beautiful" video and this has a similar style. I like how it reflects the modern mainstream 'artists' being like puppets.

When release dates are categorized in 'Europe' and 'US', where does Canada generally fall?

On track 9 (out of 11) now, on first listen I like it a lot more than BF I but a fair bit less than BF II. But apparently I'm the only one that doesn't really like BF I that much anyway.

Personally I think that the first BF album is the best by far, the second is still very good though. :P

I'm gonna wait until the album comes out to listen to it, but BFI is far superior to BFII in my opinion... although SW's tracks (Christenings and My Gift of Silence) are probably better than anything on BF1.

On my first listen of the album, song 6. The first few were a bit shakey imo, but then it's only gotten better as the album has gone on.

I don't get why there needs to be a 3 week delay.

Oh well, it's in my favour so I guess I don't really mind :p.

So today I had some time to finally listen to the album. I think it's a solid album and I like the new direction in sound, if you get what I mean. As of now my favourite tracks are Oxygen, DNA, Go to Hell and Waving.

Just listened to the album. I liked it more as an album than the first to but overall I didn't like it. I'm just not a Blackfield fan, although Waving is a great, great song.
