sorry, I mean't that it NEEDED to be leaked, not that it had been .
8/11/2007 7:05:54 PM
yea i check all my usual places a couple times a day when i think about it. this is some airtight stuff tho man, dangand ps im still surprised there is absolutely no advertisement on victory's part. even tho btbam's cd is highly anticipated and really doesnt need the advertisement with all the hype its still weird for a label not to have an e-card, banners on the usual sites, or tv ads at this point[Edited on August 12, 2007 at 1:46 PM.

1. Foam Born: (a) the backtrack2. (b) the decade of statues } ~9 minutes between both tracks 1 and 23. Informal Gluttony (6:47)4. Sun of Nothing (10:59)5. Ants of the Sky (13:10)6. Prequel to the Sequel (8:something)7. Viridian (2:51)8. White Walls (14:13)because of formatting the track length lists are cut off for track 1 and 2 and the 'seconds' section of track 6. didnt think those lengths had been posted yet.talk about epic!

FUCK I wish they were coming up to Norfolk. Hell, Richmond even.
8/14/2007 2:14:59 PM
those are some epic track lengths! i can't wait for this cd. i really wish they would post up one of the tracks off the cd.
8/14/2007 2:23:30 PM
Didn't they release like 2-3 tracks off alaska pretty early? like atleast 2 months before it released?
8/14/2007 2:42:03 PM
yea had a demo off alaska out 2mos+ before the cd, as well as the mastered version of it a few weeks later and then they also put up selkies 4-5 weeks before the release.im wondering if the track lengths have something to do with it. i know the 2:51 second one is instrumental, and maybe they dont want the first 2 combo tracks to be released individually and all the songs left are super long and they might not want 11-14 mins of their cd released right now i dono..
8/14/2007 2:44:04 PM
True, but this album has to be trading hands around Victory if it's already mastered, not to mention some other places like critics, etc. soon. God it needs to leak!
8/14/2007 2:45:46 PM
true. ive talked to specific people that have a physical copy but they arent giving anything up i dont know that any critics even have it yet if there is 0 leak or reviews

HAI GUIZapparently 'decade of statues' was streamed today on a web radio station in the uk!! im about to go find it i swear on my lifehahaha i found it and im listening to it now! the intro the DJ gives it is awesome too. victory's press release that came with the cd said only "get ready for the most mind blowing jaw dropping sonicly complex 64 minutes youll have this year" oh and PS the bitrate on this is REAL crappy. the guitar work sounds hot tho. it gets reaall good towards the end too. bah been trying to find a way to rip it for you guys hold on[Edited on August 14, 2007 at 10:31 PM.

bah, just use the stream its longer than any of the demo stream rippers will let me record http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio1_aod.shtml?radio1/rockshowthere are two 'skip ahead' options. 5mins and 15mins. this song happens to be perfectly placed so that it starts 5 seconds after one of the preset marker points. Once the stream has loaded press the 15 min forward button 3 times. Your timer should read 19:45:00 and the song starts at 19:45:05enjoy!if you want to hear the dj talk about it just skip ahead 40 minutes instead of 45 and you have to sit through 3 mins of hopesfall and then the dj talks for 2 mins then the song comes on.**YOUTUBE VIDEO OF 'DECADE OF STATUES' LIVE**http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RP4KUR4rrAi r teh sleuth tonight**stream rip of 'decade of statues' HERE**http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8C2UHL6Z[Edited on August 14, 2007 at 11:04 PM.

goodnight and enjoy that little bit for now.3:35 through the end of the song (on the stream rip) is just ridiculous. cant wait to hear this thing with some decent sound quality.[Edited on August 15, 2007 at 12:14 AM. Reason : ]
8/15/2007 12:13:30 AM
man i cant wait to really hear everything going on in that song with the full quality recording. after a few listens tho its a great song.-the guitarwork is excellent as always. some GREAT melodic hooks in this song-the vocals are also good. Tommy has a great rythmic style with his vocals that sets him apart from other metal/hardcore acts and hes done it once againbut both of those things were expected. what really shined through on this song even in crappy sound quality was fully utilizing blake(drums) and dan (bass) on this recording. they have both a drummer and bassist that are more creative that 99% of other bands writing similar music and it really showed on this song.cannot wait for the cd
8/15/2007 8:57:44 AM
Thanks for the heads up Jamie!

8/19/2007 2:37:08 AM
hey man thanks for thinking of me i was out, i actually finally got it to work before i went out tho!Just gave it my first full listen. Best album/best first listen i have heard in at least 5 years if not 10, if not my entire life.10/10.[Edited on August 19, 2007 at 4:00 AM. Reason : ]
8/19/2007 3:57:01 AM
2nd listen through and its even better. i have NEVER heard a more epic album, or an album that touches so many musical genres, or that flows as well from start to finish. the writing is nearly FLAWLESS the entire length of the cd. the drumming, the bass, the keyboards, the handdrums, the vocal melodies.i had ridiculous expectations for this CD and it STILL blew me out of the water. best first listen of a cd ever im pretty sure at this point
8/19/2007 5:49:07 AM

haha nice, sorry i was uploading now actually. i cant even pick a favorite song this is ridiculous. i pretty much view this album as like one huge song haha. I cant pick it apart. I LOVE the beginning of prequel to the sequel tho.[Edited on August 19, 2007 at 12:47 PM. Reason : ]

Absolutely phenomenal. I can't think of any other way to describe it. I DLed it (and will buy it), listened to it three times through, and it was the most musically blissful moment that I can recall. This album absolutely blew me away and easily pushed BTBAM to the top of my list (it was cloudy, but they have taken the top).Get it and listen to it, it's worth it.
8/19/2007 8:22:24 PM
Jamie. I can't believe you didn't shoot me a message.No worries, I have it now.Glory.

bump for awesomness
8/22/2007 12:52:29 AM
you know whats interesting about the artwork. when alaska came out i remember tommy answering a question about whether he liked Alaska or not and he basically said of course he liked it but "we havent written our 'dark side of the moon yet' " pretty much word for word on that last part.i wonder if the cover/name is referring to that. maybe im reading too much into it but after remembering tommy saying exactly that and also knowing how extremely excited he was about this album...
8/22/2007 7:00:15 AM
I didn't realize until i was fucking around on wikipedia that I know like half of this band.I remember when some of the members were in Naryan (or however you're supposed to spell it) and they recorded a demo. Only after that did one of the singers say, 'You know, we should write some lyrics.'Random screaming in the microphone ftw.
8/22/2007 7:11:28 AM
well yea dusty and blake were in narayan way back when. but BTBAM has been around since before Narayan was started even and put out a s/t and the silent circus before kicking some people out that eventually led to blake and dusty leaving glass casket(aka narayaN) to be in this band.blake was a huge pick-up on drums for them.
8/22/2007 7:24:03 AM
Tripp was a cool guy though, known him since elementary school. Blake (guitar blake) was awesome too.
8/22/2007 7:37:48 AM
oh they were/are all nice guys. i dont know the others as well but i met sid and blake at nc state and they were both really really nice.if you didnt know/care sid is playing guitar in doing lead vocals in Yearling: http://www.yearlingmusic.com/http://www.myspace.com/yearlingbut you might have already known that. they kinda sound like old jimmy eat world, copeland, etc[Edited on August 22, 2007 at 8:16 AM.

yea, i met sid in high school. he's a nice guy, and talented. at the time he was all too willing to tell you that too lol.i actually worked with tony for a few years too back in the day.
