[Rich Duncan]

So far I have liked the two songs from the new album, I might have to check this out

[bamf]

this new song seems heavily influenced by commissioner gordon

[Garett Press]

hahaha GREAT call

[Cue the Sun]

ahhh great songgg

[fluke182]

See, this is why I love them. They make amazing songs and name them after quotes from Watchmen, Lost and all kinds of other things. They're nerds like me, except they can make fucking amazing music. I love them.

Unless they are actually referring to the poem, and in that case that's cool too.

[fluke182]

I want this album now, can I get this album now? I think I pretty much have to go to the CD release now on the 19th, even though it'd be 11 days old by then.

[punkerz2003]

Parts of this r emind me of Ribbons and Sugar..anyway it's an awesome song.

[irthesteve]

[a hybrid]

Sexy like always

[TheHeretic]

[jaimej]

So good. <3 you GP. Glad you survived the insane lightning last night!!

[jimboj917]

Parts of this r emind me of Ribbons and Suger..anyway it's an awesome song.

i think so too, mainly because i feel that "ribbons" was a little darker feeling, although it wasn't, it just gave me that vibe.

[sweetforever]

I'll have to listen to this when I get back from work:(

[rus_t]

amazing

[[Brendan]]

I love the Latin influenced piano parts they've incorporated into this song.

[sean omerta]

Fantastic... :)

[Mathus]

this new song seems heavily influenced by commissioner gordon

yeah, i thinking the same thing haha

[jaimej]

Hahahaha how did I miss that before about Commissioner Gordon. Fantastic.

[brandneww]

love the reference to "beware, beware" i ove how they reference old songs...i just think it's really different. can't wait for this album. gonna be one of the best of the year for sure.

That is one of thier best Qualities. I'm sure they got this one from the latest x-men comics.

[Cheddar]

My Name is Ozymandias is referenced in the book The White Mountains, a book about gigantic tripods who rule the world. Look at the cover of the album. Bam.

[Boring Pop Song]

it's a decent song

[vegasbabyvegas]

Best band of our time.

[1000shadesofred]

this song towards the end the breakdown sounds like the beat to Aqua- barbie girl

[itkeepsuswarm]

All hail the American Dream. They sure are enjoying their gang vocals on this effort eh? I'm down. And the new keyboardist is more than fulfilling his duties.

[brianma]

This song's a mess.

[jaimej]

This song's a mess.
Hardly.

[brianma]

Hardly.

Yup, hardly a song. It's just rapid noise.

[kevanu]

omg did anyone listen to the end??? IT SOUNDS LIKE BARBIE GIRL!

p.s
fable changed my life

[jaimej]

Yup, hardly a song. It's just rapid noise.
Rapid noise? Are you serious?

[jaimej]

Penis or GTFO.

[infamous_alias]

I cannot believe you're stealing archive.org's bandwidth to "stream" this. You guys seriously might as well just post the link to download the song, or look into a more "secure" media player.

On that note, this song is great. Thanks!

I realize that you can trace the stream, but you could also just as easily use and sound recorder and still get the song. Oh well

[infamous_alias]

Meh, I don't know, just seems kind of strange to me. I think there might as well just be a download link.

[jusscali]

meh 0-2 for me :(

[brianma]

Rapid noise? Are you serious?

Yes, I'm serious.

[jaimej]

Yes, I'm serious.
Well then you're obviously delusional. Form your opinion about GAD, that's fine, but Rapid noise? Go listen to Aiden.

[brianma]

Aiden? What's with you and terrible bands?

[wixmmm]

See, this is why I love them. They make amazing songs and name them after quotes from Watchmen, Lost and all kinds of other things. They're nerds like me, except they can make fucking amazing music. I love them.

I'm sure its from the poem, but watchmen counts too--both are great works of art.

And I dunno if J.D. Salinger is alive or dead, i'm pretty sure he's alive, but IF he was dead, he'd be rolling over in his grave right now because in "Raise High The Roof Beam Carpenters and Seymour an Introduction" he says that he would bet that not a single kid in his class could quote a line from Shelly's Ozymandias.

Funny thing is, i was at a bar the other night (and i absolutely fell in love with Volcano last summer) and I was talking with a friend about what I want to do when i grow up, and i actually got into this whole train of thought where it was like "I wanna be Ozymandias...king of kings, bitches--riding around on a bicycle and spinning the earth on my own...not a rich, glorified king...just the true king...some normal guy who just happens to have all the answers and keeps this place going."

So, long story short, I love Gatsby's American Dream because we're on the same wavelength.

[Chris Fallon]

Good lord, I am so fucking stoked for this album.

Fucking goddamn motherfucker shit bitch - I am sorry...when I get this excited, my tourretts kicks in and I just go on this swearing rampage. I apologize to those of who were offended, but if you were, fuck off...Gatsbys is worth offending people for.

[kissbangkill]

i wish gatsbys would leave me alone... with their seductive rhythms, and sextacular sounds. shame on you gatsbys... turning the world on like this!

this shit could be album of the year if they keep it up.

[itkeepsuswarm]

He is alive indeed. And I just thought I'd make that comment since I just finished those stories about a month ago and was excited to hear it mentioned in an absolute punk thread haha.

[jaimej]

Aiden? What's with you and terrible bands?
That was the point. You're saying GAD is just noise? I named the worst band I could think of. THAT'S noise.
Good lord, I am so fucking stoked for this album.

[Scott Weber]

Yup, hardly a song. It's just rapid noise.
Lol. This album is not a letdown at all. I can't stop listening...I'm trying to pace myself but it's damn near impossible.

[colourofstef]

this song towards the end the breakdown sounds like the beat to Aqua- barbie girl

beat me to it (by a long ways)

i did a little double take and suddenly realised what i thought i was hearing haha

[mybreakingpoint]

6th song i've heard. most disappointing of all.

getting less and less excited for this the more i hear. :(

[jaimej]

6th song i've heard. most disappointing of all.

getting less and less excited for this the more i hear. :(
6th? Ya okay.

[mybreakingpoint]

6th? Ya okay.

just because you haven't, doesn't mean no one else has ;) unless you just instantly have access to every single song available ever, then i MUST be lying, right?

[Scott Weber]

so where'd you hear them?

[mybreakingpoint]

so where'd you hear them?

it's not a matter of where, but who.
the owner of the recording studio i work at is friends with the drummer.
i'd share it, but yousendit, sendspace, and all those other sites are blocked on our computers at work so that no one can do what someone did with the Underoath demos that got out.

EDIT: that's the story i was given anyway. if it's true or not, i don't know. all i know is that there are 6 songs on the iTunes on our work computer, 3 of which have been put on the internet, and the other 3 say they're form the new album.

Don't fucking share that stuff, are you kidding me? Keep it to yourself.

[catscradle]

[Ruggiero2oo8]
