Yeah, looks like they've got the entire CD streaming on their MySpace...pretty sweet. Will definitely be getting this...I've only got IV so I will definitely have to check out some of their back catalogue as well since I loved that...

Anyone else have the new CD yet? I got it yesterday and I think it's really good so far, at least as good as Good Apollo 1...but, I've found that there's a lot of buried treasure in Good Apollo 1 so maybe I'll end up liking this one better than 1 as I listen to it more. I agree about there being even more of a progressive rock sound on this one, which is good.

On a side note, I also got In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3, and so far I'm not liking it as much as Good Apollo 1 and 2...too much of a pop-rock sound and not enough prog. Don't get me wrong, it's still awesome--the title track is becoming one of my favorite songs by them--but so far it doesn't quite match the most recent two. But, I still have to give it a lot more listens...

I got it the day it came out in the US, and as with all their albums, it's growing on me more and more. I think I was so overwhelmed with awesomeness of the opening two tracks that I felt a bit of a letdown with the rest of the album. Come to think of it, each of their albums has had that effect on me. They always tend to put a monster of a song at the front: Welcome Home, In Keeping..., Time Consumer. However, as with their other albums, further listens have given me a better appreciation of some of the other great offerings on this CD (The Hound of Blood and Rank, Mother Superior). All things considered I think this album is great; I'd put it just below Good Apollo and above In Keeping... and the Second Stage Turbine Blade.

I can't wait for this. I'm listening to "The Running Free" on their myspace and it is damn awesome. This has become one of my favorite bands. Has anybody heard the new album in full?

In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3 is one of my favorite albums ever. The only problem with it is that I've listened it to death.

Man the new one is so damn amazing. I think they focus more on a calssic rock sound than ever with this one.

All things considered I think this album is great; I'd put it just below Good Apollo and above In Keeping... and the Second Stage Turbine Blade. I got it a couple days after it was released. I agree with Adam. The opening two tracks on both No World and Good Apollo are so damn awesome in drowns out the rest of the album on the first couple of listens. However, after a few more spins this has turned into one of my favorites for the year now. I'm still deciding one whether this one is better the Good Apollo or not though. I'd say its way heavier and a lot more proggy. Especially track 11, it sounds like Dream Theater at times. Anyway, love this band, love the new album.
