    I am! :)
    I had a king in a tenement castle, lately he's taken to painting the pastel walls brown. He's taken the curtains down. He's swept with the broom of contempt, and the rooms have an empty ring. He's cleaned with the tears of an actor who fears for the laughter's sting...

    I refuse to listen to the clips.
    I have this weird goal of experiencing new songs at the Roundhouse!

    I'd personally be quite underwhelmed if I waited till the live gigs, first of all because you're hearing new material for the first time live which means you're getting a different mix from the studio versions, and also you're not getting the chance to really take in each song because your brain is too busy wondering what the next bit is going to sound like.

    Maybe that's just me.

    Nope, same with me. I listened to the live version of Melancholy Sky about 80 times when it was debuted; the studio version sounded wrong to me for about a month afterwards. 
    The only safe way is the full thing, on high quality, studio recorded, on vinyl.

    Agreed.

    You guys are going to want to hear this album in as high of quality as possible, believe me.
    It's got an extremely high level of polish and quality control. It isn't suffocated by synths, but rather is sonically designed in a way to maximize depth and atmosphere through simplicity. Very clean... when it wants to be. A couple nice grungy and dirty (Train)-esque tracks, but the album is closer to an extended version of Let It Take You than anything else. You'll see.

    Also, I apologize for getting people's hopes up, but I've lost my download of the album clips (thanks to my digital OCD and constant need to keep my desktop clean). Nevertheless, I'm sure there are other members out there who have the clips!

    YES this is apparent in the clips.  I couldn't believe the percussion on SYSTEMAGIC

    Another thing i'll add is that I think they made the right choice for the single, especially if it's going to be a singular single and then the album.  I agree with the person who said Systemagic is single material, but only as a follow up and from what I can remember it wouldn't have been as good had it been our first impression of Silver Eye.  

    For me personally, i'd love the next single to be Faux Suede Drifter, but then I enjoy my slow moving depths of heavenly chords and vocals.  It's the one song i'll be absolutely dying to hear up until the album drops!  On the contrary, Become The One is one i'm apprehensive about, as I couldn't get enough info on the 1:00 clip as to whether I like it or not, but I doubt i'll dislike any of the songs on this album TBH.
