Awesome. This time around, I'll listen to anything released prior to the album release.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Whoooo!  I was hoping we'd get some big news today but I figured by noon or so that that was out of the question.  This is a nice surprise.

So, a bold statement from the band to premiere-stream one of the two songs that have a definitely different vibe from the rest of the album (in James's words).

ATR should be the "anthem-song", right?  :angel:

I heard TEI three times. The first one, a second one because I needed to get the song off my head, and a third one because a friend wanted to hear it.

I swear to myself I will only listen to AFTR twice at most.

Alright, this time I'm really REALLY not gonna listen. I said that with The Enemy Inside and totally lied, but two weeks is within my patience capacity. Plus, I feel a lot better being familiar with the second song of an album than being familiar with the penultimate song. When I'm on my first listen for an album, I like the last half to be the stuff that really makes it worth the wait.

OMG, Please no :(

I listened to TEI only once, and I swore I won't hear anything from the new album until the release.
DT12, please come soon :(

I think he said the two different ones were Along for the ride and the looking glass

I'm going to try and hold out. I don't really want to be familiar with more than one song going in (plus I haven't listened to TEI in full in weeks and only heard it 3 times, so that will only be semi-familiar when I first hear the album). I am interested in reading everyone's thoughts on it, but I won't be listening myself.

The situation (for me and several others) is that whenever the band has released singles or other songs, the songs get burned out way before the album is released, so when the release date finally comes one is not excited about listening to those songs, they just seem old.

I will listen to this song immediately after it comes out and will listen to it, I hope, for the time leading up to the album release.

Love these Friday announcements of Monday released. I see 'em at work, get pumped, then have a fun weekend and forget all about DT, and then next thing I know, BAM! New DT music.

I like to think I have self restraint and will resist the urge to listen, but I already know I'll be F5ing the stream site Monday morning.

I'm intrigued by this, but this is the second track off the album that I'll likely not be able to resist listening to before the whole thing is released. I hope it's really good, so I don't end up skipping it on the album. I kinda preferred the snippets they did for the last album, or the artwork. Whole songs? Almost too much.

Yeah, maybe... soooo....?
That makes it less good than the rest?.. I think not, since that didn't happen to me with OTBOA...
