For an one hour show, it was really great! The sound quality was also really good.
Anyone here knows if the original keyboard player was replaced permanently by the one that played this show?

This was a fantastic Saturday night in.

I remember reading that they had no keyboard player for the last album so did it between them? I might be remembering that wrong.

In the CD's booklet, Richard Larsson - the original keyboard player - appears in the album credits in smaller letters, which, I presume, it's for the guest musicians. He played keyboards on tracks 2, 6, 11 and 12. A guy named John Lönnmyr played keyboards on tracks 1, 5, 7, 8 and 10. I made a quick research on google and I think he's the one who played at this show. Maybe he has been playing at this entire tour?

You know what, I don't remember a single thing about the keyboard guy at the London show. Was totally absorbed with David, Bjorn and the Annas!

Yeah, Lönnmyr was listed in the ending credits. Björn has said they write and record all the time, so the lineup change must've happened during the making of the album.

The stream got cut during Transmissions for me, and by the time I got back in the song was over already, but luckily I could still go back and listen to it afterwards. Watching them at home naturally was a different experience compared to the sold-out, sweaty club gig I saw on the tour for the previous album, but enjoyable nonetheless, and I was clapping and waving along. :D While Amber Galactic is still my favorite, I really like the new album, and it feels like a step forward, unlike Sometimes..., which - while good - was essentially Amber Galactic Pt. 2.

Yeah, I caught that on my new release playlist on Spotify today - it was the opening track.

I'm finding the novelty of these guys wearing off pretty quick.  What they do, they do amazingly well, but I haven't gone back to the new album at all.

David and Bjorn need to get back to Soilwork.

Yup... it showed up in my Spotify Release Radar playlist yesterday.  I always dig what those guys are putting out.

These guys just keep bringing such great energy.

I've only just watched the video. I usually hate music videos but that was really good fun.   :)

From what I understood from interviews, the band is always recording songs and the albums come naturally when they think there's a collection of songs that works well in a full album context.
I'm super fan of TNFO and I have all the albums, but I don't have the japanese versions of it. Anyone here knows where I can find/hear the bonus songs: City Lights and Moonbeams, Fly Tonight (Never Rewind) and But You and I? Thanks!

Hoorah!

Not sure it's the most imaginative title I've ever heard. Does it have any link to the previous album?

Full album details here!

Aside from a pretty similar album cover, I don't see other links to part 1..

I guess they just liked the title "Aeromantic" and wanted to make this a continuation of the previous one. :D

While this is obviously the day of Iron Maiden, TNFO also released their new album today! :biggrin:

I had a listen, and it's pure TNFO goodness like we are used to!

Compared to the previous albums, "Aeromantic 2" has surprisingly big focus on keyboards. They seem to be much more prominent, compared to "Aeromantic 1" for example.

Going to be listening to this a lot, along with the new Iron Maiden. How Long and Change are insanely good! :metal

This album is really very good on first listen, TNFO never disapoints! Indeed the keyboards are more prominent on this one and my first impression is that the album is a tad more commercial than the usual for them, with less proggier/hard rock moments like the previous albums, but this isn't a complaint. Coincidentially my favorites songs are the ones the band chose for the videos, but the album as a whole is great!

Wow, really enjoyed it. It's not quite the heavy hitter but really catchy and fun still. Only 1 listen so can't say more other than I really like it. This band just keeps hitting for me.
