Just heard the Edgefest clips.
Yes I did.
HOLY MOTHER OF FUCK! This is honestly shaping up to becoming one of (if not the) favorite OLP album for me. The instrumentals/atmospheric feel really do it for me - this is what I imagined when OLP said that they were beginning a new chapter.
Might I add that this is the first time that we really see Steve's guitarwork come into full play -- it is so awesome! There's a whole new depth and atmosphere to OLP's work that was never there before. Just check out Angels/Losing /Sleep (especially the interlude - phenomenal instruments!) and the newly revamped Walking in Circles.
Healthy in Paranoid Times will be released on August 30th!

Ok ill rate the 4 I have heard
Will The future Blame Us 10/10 (Best Falsettos I have heard from Raine, Next single? I sure hope so after hearing this.).....WoW....
Picture 9.9/10 (I love the intro too this song, its chilling....bloody amazing, The climax of this song is insanely amazing "I wantedddd you to knowwwwwwwwwwwwwww")
Angels losing sleep 9.7/10 (Great vocals...and atmospheric effects)
Wipe that smile off your face 9.4/10 (The falsetto at the end almost shattered my ear drums...I Love it!)
If these songs stay the same in the studio to these live ones, this will be right up their with Naveed and clumsy

You know, I just can't restrain myself without seeming like a total fanboy but that's how much I love the new stuff.
The most amazing thing about this new stuff isn't because it features anything that we've loved classically about olp but that it's something completely new and works and it's something that's totally unexpected. The little things, the atmospheric effects, the different feel of the songs ( I must particularly commend OLP on creating what seems to be their most varied album), steve's guitarwork (just check out the picture intro and walking in circles)... it's the first really true breath of fresh air I've heard from these guys in a long time.
Edit: heh, might I just add on about steve's guitarwork... you can tell how much he's matured and how he's really found a sound of his own... I really think you can now define olp's sound based on Mike's era and Steve's era (even though this is the first time we've really heard Steve's guitar playing and not just his rehashes of old olp songs). For the first time, just like with Mike, you can hear Steve playing and really say "oh, that definately sounds like Steve."

I just listened to Walking in Circles and it really does rock.....it has a u2 guitar thing going for me........but really energized. I doubt that will translate to the album as well but hot damn its promising.
The other songs sound great too but I was disappointed to not hear Steve's amazing guitar solo from the previous WTSOYF versions. I know Raine has a talking interlude so I'm confident something will be there, but taking out that part would kill the song for me.

i also like the idea of this:
We liked the idea of a man with his back turned to the world, in a white blank room. Is the whiteness purity and peace that he seeks, or the stark whiteness of a mental ward?

i was rewatching olp's Life on Conan...and it does seem they have a bit of a history with letting the extra musician take up some of the lead guitar. so it's not just Joel.
man... Raine used to be able to pull off so many more falsettos. he didn't used to slack off like he does a lot nowadays with somewhere out there, always singing it an octave lower. i know i'm repeating the obvious but it's become so much more apparent to me after watching some of their old live stuff again. still i guess you can't blame him...he's gotten older.
