It was a "Square Wave" whatever that is. A Vocorder is the guitar/vocal thing that Joe Perry uses on 'Sweet Emotion' (as one example). I believe you're talking about a "Talk box" which is also used famously by Peter Frampton. A Vocoder is a microphone that runs through a keyboard (Think Geoff Downe...

Despite what Alice may say only getting a 1st week sale projection of 11-12,000 in a country the size of America is pretty pathetic and further sums up his dying fan base there. First week sales for "Brutal Planet" through "Dirty Diamonds" were half that for the first week. This is actually his sec...

I DEEPLY apologize. I was on my cell phone looking at HitsDailyDouble's "Building Album Charts."

The full chart is here (physical + streaming) and it's projected to come in at #44

Hits Daily Double is showing a #7 debut in the US with 11,000 in sales (which is kinda pathetic.)

Hitsdailydouble is not projecting a Top 20 debut in the U.S.

For U.S. sales, I would suggest following www.hitsdailydouble.com

Still #1 on Amazon US!!

Wow I'm actually really surprised that the original band had a slightly bigger role on this album than originally advertised. Nice to see Steve Hunter on here as well.

Just a side note, Paranormal is currently the #3 album on Amazon US. Not that I'm saying this would translate to anything on Billboard but it's just nice to see something like that for Alice.

I would say Nita would have been a welcome addition in hindsight! She's a stand out and I think something that has been missing from Alice's music for a while is truly stand out musicianship.

I've listened to it and while there are some good songs, I was a bit disappointed overall. There are times when the music sounds a bit "mechanical" and without feeling and the tempos of the songs seem rushed. As though the hired guns came in, rushed their parts in 1 take and left. There's no "breath...

"Along Came A Spider." That album was Alice's Magnum Opus.

Early leaks happen with virtually every release these days.

The song is really good up to that guitar breakdown 3/4 through. It wasn't memorable or contributed anything the song. But it comes back at the end.

"Paranormal," the track, shows promise. "Geniune American Girl" = Less said, the better, in my opinion.

You can upload it to Photobucket or TinyPic and post the link here.

I'd really like it if we didn't devolve into calling other board members "sheep" or claiming that others do not "get it." That is simply being mad at others for not sharing your opinion. You can disagree but it's a bit stupid to go down the road of personally attacking each other for not liking it. ...

Blabbermouth have some quotes from Alice (assuming from a press release) describing some of the songs. But then the article alludes to TWO ACG songs, instead of 3.
