Sounds very interesting.
I'll bite is a straight rocker and Caffeine sounds more as a song from the Zipper period.

I'll Bite Your Face Off sounded good. Listening through headphones I swear there's keyboards/strings in the second half of it.

Caffeine was interesting, I listened to the sample a few time and it might be a grower.

Really? That's exactly what I want to hear.

If my fellow posters will allow me to share a moments nostalgia. After listening to the excerpts this morning I was briefly transported back nearly forty years when I bought the NME because of the "Slick Black Limousine" flexi disc. Same idea different world.I can remember gingerly placing the needle on the paper thin vinyl and listening to the track and the tantalising excerpts from "Billion Dollar Babies" on an old teak (!!) stereogram artfully chosen by my parents to blend in with the swirly patterned purple carpet which of course complemented perfectly the gold dralon suite and curtains.To a twelve year old living in a 1960's semi in a suburb of Bolton how glamorous, rebellious and frankly dangerous Alice Cooper seemed.Aaah the memories!

Both sound fantastic, I really liked the production, sounding old school fresh!

Referring to your post Robbie-I first played Love it to Death on a teak stereogram early 70s Stirling..your house sounded similar to mine..groovy lol

It's not uncommon to hear the single before the album. These are the only songs I feel no guilt in listening to before the release date.

Very true, I guess I just want the nightmare to unfold track-by-track. I'm sure it's worth the wait!

I don't 'see' a sample, I just see mp3 on sale for 89p.

Ahh, got ya! One actually needs to click the title.

Thank you recoop.

no probs and does the background voice sound like Steve Martin to you(its a slow morning)..presume its Alice throwing his voice around again

Hi Recoop... and did your stereogram match the teak telly?That gave way around the time of "Da Da" to a dark mahogany cabinet which cunningly hid the telly behind two doors while masquerading as a bulky but luxurious drinks cabinet. Today's generation don't know they are born eh?

Not heard it yet mate (at work here), will let you knw, thanks.

>Will this just be the UK for downloads or does the US get them as well. Via Itunes maybe?

Do you not read the "News" page?

It's not uncommon to hear the single before the album.

It's almost commonplace I would say.

These are the only songs I feel no guilt in listening to before the release date.

I agree, and also with them being mere samples, the guilt lessens further - if that's possible!

I am not overly struck with Caffeine on first impressions I have to say - even if it does have Steve Martin in the background recoop - ha ha!! But it's just a snippet, so it's not enough to make a personal judgement on yet.

I Just didn't see the US information. Theres so many versions of this album its hard to keep track of. Also trying to find who's doing the US digipack with the extra song and 7".

That's very true!

> Also trying to find who's doing the US digipack with the extra song and 7".

All the information can be found with a quick search quite easily.

I'm SO excited now! I absolutely LOVE Caffeine already, even though it's just a 30 sec soundclip.

Ooooh I can't wait!!
