Just got to The Bigger Picture. Holy shit this album is what I've been wanting from DT since SFAM. Concise, proggy, songs. Holy fuck. They nailed it right on the fucking head.

This!

So I get to work early to listen to this, and
1) my computer HAS to go through a f***in Windows update NOW!   :censored :censored
2) then I have to do browser tricks to get the stream going

But better late than having to wait a week  :metal :metal

Behind the Veil reminds me so much of Megadeth. It's weird.

edit: Well, I guess not. It changes gears a lot.

I know the bit you mean. I thought more TBA Metallica, although the verse vocals give off a Megadeth vibe. JLB can sound a bit like him at times, except a zillion times better. :biggrin:

I think Megadeth must've definitely been in inspiration corner for this album. I haven't heard "BtV", but I felt a very strong Megadeth vibe from "TEI" the moment I heard it (and I'm not just referring to the obvious "Sudden Death" riff replica).

I'm halfway The Bigger Picture, enjoying the album so far. Expectations were low based on TEI and AFTR, but I'm liking it much better than I thought I would.

I was sort of hoping we'd all be going through the album together, but with the rocky start everyone is at different parts of the album. :| This is a bit more of a cluster fuck than I was expecting.

YEAH, BUT WHEN CAN WE LISTEN IT IN OTHER COUNTRIES THAN NORWAY, UK OR HOLLAND?
When you install a browser addon. :neverusethis:

By the way everyone, that Hola Unblocker addon is available for Firefox aswell. If you're using IE...well, you're on your own. :P

Anyone still being unable to listen to the album, maybe the other streams aren't as well region-protected as the UK one? Try the Dutch one.

Thery are all region specific so far. This is a very amateur fashion of releasing a global stream.
