I sure hope that these two songs are not the basis of the album... Maybe it's best that they keep working on the album so as to improve on the quality. Hell they can put it out in 2006 for all I care, as long as it isn't crap.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

Jeremy said as his drum clinic that they were planning on a September 2004 release but felt rushed and wanted to make the album as good as possible (says they are on the "verge of something special").

The album will be out Early 2005 and may be called "Vampires" or "Unusual Amount of Common Sense" (I like this one...).

i think "Unusual Amount of Common Sense" is so much better than "vampires".

I like UAoCS as an actual title, but Vampires fits better with OLP's history of short or at least easily abbreviated album titles. UAoCS looks so ugly. Maybe if they made it, "Unusual... Amount of Common Sense." :P
I just wanna get out,
Stuck inside of this.

That is a really awesome title. Unfortunately you can't judge a book by its cover.

Vampires is a pathetic name at best. And buddy, if you don't like how it looks abbreviated then learn to spell and type out in whole.

Though Vampires seems like a pathetic name, I think it is supposed to mean something more than blood sucking demons. Unfortunately, it's not a great metaphore (in fact, it's a pretty crappy one without any transition between the two ideas).

As for Unusual Ammount of Common Sense - I think it's cool depending on the context. If there's a song by that name, I'd say it's a crappy one. If, however, it's from a line from a song, or just a general synopsis of the album's political views, I think I like it.

I honestly don't care about the title. Just as long as it's a good album.

Yeah, okay, someone else said that in a (most likely) different thread, but I still stick by that idea. *shrug*

I guess we arn't going to know the context of the albums title until we hear the album....which makes judging it kind of redundant.

i like how its coming out like at the mo..

im not really into the "propsed" album names... im sure they can think of something better. and they will... those are just to cause a stir on here and other OLP chat places. OLP fans around the world are now talking about the album name... and thats exactly what they want, speculation

i greatly dislike 'unusual amount of common sense' as an album title. i don't know why. it just... sucks
you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know
