The forums right now after listening to preview tracks:

I lold heartily. Brilliant...


From the teaser it definitely sounds like its another album like Addicted that massively picks up in the second half. Don't like the first three tracks at all, and listening to the full version of Lucky Animals didn't change that much for me anyway. Not my cup of tea... The rest of it sounds great though. Where We Belong was always gonna sound beautiful and the re-worked Kingdom sounds really good. Divine and Lessons sounded gorgeous as well and Anneke's vocals sound lovely from the few places she's on there. Also yaaaaaaaay for tons of bonus material! Deluxe Edition'll definitely be a must-buy!

(Wow, I'm back!)

Epicloud sounds incredible. I haven't been following the production very closely so the teaser trailer took me by surprise on Friday afternoon. But woooooowww. I'll definitely be picking this album up.

Yaw!

Really digging the way this is sounding. I'm not a fan of when Devin does "meta" lyrics (stuff like the Mighty Masturbator, etc), or tries to get super technical (most of Deconstruction). This sounds right up my alley.

Wow, you dislike what I find best about him. XD Shows fanbases truly are varied.

Lucky Animals is premiering on a radio show called Full Metal Jackie this evening. Not sure what time it comes on.

I'll be a lucky animal if I can listen to it on time.

The little snippet of Lucky Animals actually reminded me of Marilyn Manson. Am I way off base?

Nah, I get what you mean.

I've re-listened to the Addicted trailer thing on myspace and it gave away as much as I imagine this one does. It shows the catchy bits with some random, obscure bits (as you'd hope) but at this time on a Saturday night while my girlfriend is out of town i CAN ONLY GIVE YOU (whoops caps lock) fuckers so much of my time but to some people this will be an album of devy-stuff they've waited for (the HUGE-MASSIVENESS STUFF) and the people waiting for the super-heavy stuff will be left to suck an egg until Z2 (the next album after this (AT LEAST A YEAR, GOD HELP YOU)).

I am actually anticipating CoC more. I have reached a point where I think I'd rather just here Devy do some slow jammy stuff.

But yeah, I get what you mean a bit, but it's interesting, and is in Universe in a Ball tier for me of songs that have a cool groove that are kinda forgettable, but there are cool parts to it

Spoiler: show

Universe In A Ball is forgettable :O ????? its one of my fav songs from Addicted
and god, that Lucky Animals thing is catchy as hell

Hey, it's totally fine. We have differing opinions.

Spoiler: show

I love the intro to Universe, but it is by far my least favorite song of the 4 album cycle.

I would have to count Nibz amongst my least favorite, because I have heard so many damn times XD. Also "Sumeria" (the song is great! I am just not a fan of the first 10 seconds is all. That opening also turns me off and makes me want to skip the track). "Universe", "Decon", "TMM" "Ih-Ah", "Poltergeist", "Quiet Riot" and "Lady Helen" all had to grow on me, but I love them all as much as the rest of the four album cycle tracks.

Don't like Lucky Animals at all, hope the full versions of the rest are better. I'm sure they are.

Ahh, I recognize the part at 0:47 from Monument.

I don't know if that's been said yet, but I'm saying it.

yup, I noticed that too

[EphelDuath666]

And also. We really don't want to piss all over people when we don't allow links to the song 'Lucky Animals' on here and I know this song has been played on the radio which makes it seem weird that it's not possible to post it on here. BUT alas this may still be considered a 'leak' by the label and in that case we could get into quite some trouble.

Now we could of course just say 'Oh sure let's go for it and allow people to post it on here' but there have been forums shut down by labels before because of stuff like this. And I'm sure that is something that all of us don't want to happen. So we're on the safe side if we don't allow this untill Devin or the label officially post it somewhere.

[EphelDuath666]

OK, guys. We set up a discussion thread for Epicloud spoilers so please discuss Lucky Animals and any other song that might appear online at some point in that specific thread. That way you won't ruin the fun for the people who decide to not listen to any of the songs untill they actually bought Epicloud. Thanks!

Oh yeah and uhhhhh other folks, you should ignore the last couple of pages

Why, what happened?

Why, what happened?

A very scary thing you do not want to look at.
