"i'm going in with an open mind" thats probably the best advice Horrorholic,and i hoping to do just that,come next tuesday!

This is a great promotional tool,and maybe there will another last minute surprise next week,how about another club concert,in another US city like say NY??

Was there not a 1 hour Nightmare special airing in the US today for the holiday?

My cohorts know that i will be bringing in W2MN cd in ,and playing it for them,a time or 2,maybe 3.

Like others here,i'm old school,i want to sit down and experience the cd and all it encompasses like the lyrics,artwork,credits ect.in my music room !

I have heard 3 songs as well (Bite/Train and Caffeine)and will wait till next week to hear the album in its entirety.The temptation is certainly there.with video interviews where you have to hastily MUTE the sound.

Some critiques i find are disreputable (Shakefire).and then you have the more reputable sources like Braveworld.

He has conversed with "many" hardcores. My credo has always been.that a review is just simply someones opinion be it good or bad,that this someone has a medium to express to the masses.For most of us here, in essence this is our medium.

Remember..opinions are just like........we all have one

I think the hype and the ballyhoo are needed.Seems like radio has not embraced the first single as much i had hoped for,at least not yet.Alice and Co. have a 3 week or so hiatus from the tour.In that "window"i imagine that will be some serious promotion with the release date set for 2 weeks today.He...

Thx James! I have only heard the 3 (Bite/Caffeine/Train)and i am waiting with bated breath till i have the cd in my hands,plus i just bought a new stereo system.I'm wondering if IBYFO was the best choice as the first single?...........i can only hope i enjoy the album as much as you do.

Thx...Nice review!,succinct and to the point.From what i have read,seems the general consensus is that "The Congregation" is the best track off of W2MN.Aside from that,what do you feel are the other top tracks from the album?

The Boneyard have now played it 2 days in a row,but besides NWAC,i have seen nary a play from other stations.

Might as well target the younger generation,a prudent move on their part!

The Boneyard (XM radio) have not played it either.I have enquired on their Facebook site to no avail.

I'm not going to pass judgement on the 3 songs i have heard from W2MN until i hear in its entirety.To be honest,i was expecting a Welcome to My Nightmare meets Brutal Planet type of album.A creepy,darker albeit heavy sort of album,with few surprises thrown into the mix.It does not mean i won't like ...

Aside from Alice's NWAC,i don't see radio jumping all over the new single"IBYFO".It seems to have garnered propitious reviews/comments from online articles i have read ,including magazine,newspaper Facebook,Youtube ect,but not a lot yet as far as radio is concerned.Maybe its too early yet.

I notice it has been played today a couple times via Yes.com (US radio airplay)

Will the single be available to radio today?

What songs do you think have the potential to be singles??..thx
