Glad its The Dear Hunter

Hopefully this doesn't suck like the last two.

They've been letting me down the past few years, but I'm still excited about this.

I just have a really good feeling about this entire thing. Having Josh back, being with their old producer again, Claudio's comments on the album, the storyline, and the songs that we've heard so far...this has to be good.

Looking forward to checking it out.

I thought we would be done with this story bullshit after Apollo...Just kick out jams... I'm seriously over the gimmick of these sci-fi "stories." I long for the days when I listened to Second Stage and had no damn clue there was this mapped out story arch. /rant

Agreed. All the signs point towards two great albums.

Maybe it will have something to do with this?

[CoheedForever]

Oh nice. I like that.

[wall e]

Reminds me of Thrice's Alchemy Index

Also, I wonder how different each LP is going to be, or if it will have the seem tone throughout both

[CoheedForever]

I wonder that also. I hope that it's not like, one heavy and one mellow. I would like both volumes to have good mix.

I feel the absolute exact opposite. I love the band because the lyrics and songs used to be geeky/scifi references in an overarching story. The lyrics and songs tended to stray away from direct story references towards the later albums, which took away alot in my eyes. I hope they go back to how it was on SSTB/IKS.
