I think both are great. Awesome video for STA, too. For me, if you split the band into two eras, this is the best they’ve sounded in the studio on the latter end. Great energy and approach to vocals.

I loved the groove in The Fix and still hope it eventually releases (vault), but this time I think ...

How are the demos? Unfortunately, missed the second release after initial payment issue. Possible for anyone to share?

Yes, already quite a bit of repetition in most of the songs heard so far. The music and production in future disease is great, though I feel they missed out on making it more interesting. At least one different/additional verse and/or changing up the cadence. The one small difference is the emphasis ...

I actually see that the other way around, but will be happy to get the song regardless.

Great news! Hi Trusty! We've had some awesome people capturing concerts over the years, but you know if Rich is involved with production that it's going to be something special. I really can't wait.

I also wonder if this is planned forward momentum by the band towards an album release this year ...

From a production and engineering standpoint, this is the best sounding music since SM. Head Down and Ball of a Poet came out fantastic. Missing pieces is also amazing.

Download is up on Pledge.

Obviously just one opinion here, but even as a long time fan, I’m as excited as ever for this record and tour. I think they’ve done a great job with the new stuff. This band, independent of any nostalgia related allegiance, is still very special to me.

I agree. The song was well received. Way better than won’t turn back, which isn’t saying much, but that saw a release. I’d imagine we’ll get this via the vault at some point, but I think it should’ve made the record.

That's awesome, is "ballad of a poet" going to be the next single or "head down" ?...Feb 23rd is far away but it would be nice to have a set date on the release.

I would imagine Head Down, though it doesn't matter much at this point. I figured the 23rd to be the date in which all items would be ...

Duncan said October 20th or the end of the month. December 15th? Jeez.

Maybe in a sense, but if so, it certainly hasn't manifested in the form of uninspired music. I love what we've heard so far.

It's funny how much Raine hates The Fix.

The song they were working on, "Head Down," sounds really good.

I think Lanni was only involved with The Fix if I'm not mistaken (which, by the way, plenty of people online have been asking for). It would be a silly move not to release it.

This EP is awesome, but that would have rounded it out perfectly in my opinion.

I love it. Since it debuted live, DMITW has been a favorite. I also loved hiding place when they played it during the facebook session last summer. They nailed that one, too. It just builds and builds. Nice to meet you is really cool as well. Has a great flow to it.

I remember an interview where ...

Yeah, I assumed the completed project would be available by then. I hope they just throw The Fix on the second one..with so few songs, it would be nice.

If you'd like to listen now, I'll be happy to shoot em' over to you.

Even more so if they don't include The Fix.

^Agreed, no question.

Also, there is no doubt a radio edit in this. Seems to cut too abruptly.
