New album update

[VinceLeeRose]

What's the point of even including those live tracks with the fill in musicians. Just put the ACG songs on the actual album and call it a day. Or better yet, the bonus disc could've had the full Good Records live set, plus the 2 new tracks, and it would've been an awesome treat for the hardcore ACG fans. These live songs from Columbus just seem like theyre there to take up space.

A little disappointed there's only 10 songs on the album after a 6 year wait...but then again, I'd rather have 10 solid songs than 14 songs with 4 filler tracks. Guess we'll find out next month!

The live tracks are there just to fill up space, the 2 ACG tracks are the bonus non LP cuts, so instead of just having a second disk with 2 songs they add random live tracks just like the special edition of welcome 2

My problem with the live tracks is the selection of songs.... I've lost count of how many official recordings of No More Mr Nice Guy I've got. And there are not that different from each other. The biggest difference I've found is that on Thetre of Death ALice wasn't singin' the chorus and on Download he did. Pretty big difference, right?

Devon, The tracklisting is right ,even track 10 on disc 1 especially, NWAC wouldn't make a huge mistake like that especially with something as important as the tracklisting, come on, get with it!!

[VinceRaven]

I like the single, very clear production, also using the words paranoic and vicious rumours seems like a little nod to the song Vicious Rumours "Vicious rumours, paranoic fears"!

I liked that reference a lot. Other than that, the song doesn't excite me at all.

Yes ,there is 10 songs on the album but between both discs put together in reality it's actually 12 new songs!!, really .

[TeresofBlood]

The choice of touring band vs. ACG live tracks is a misstep in my opinion. It can't be secret to Alice & team that fans would have preferred a set of ACG live tracks, but there were probably a lot of reason$ that was not to be.

However, live versions of these particular tracks, regardless of the performers are not exciting to me. What would make a live selection unique is if the songs did not exist in recorded form, were rarely heard live, or were drastically different from their recorded versions.

I'm just grateful for an album of (12!) songs that are hopefully as good or better than the single. A second disc is pure gravy.

Initial thoughts:
Just 10 tracks could suggest hopefully that we get some longer songs this time and not so many 3 minute ones? Would be about time.

Live songs are a waste of space. Put the rarer songs in the set in there instead like 'World Needs Guts', or, as has been said, ACG versions of those songs which would be of more importance/interest.

The titles there do sound interesting though.

Yes they do have quite interesting names of the songs like personally I like, the title track, fireball, dynamite road,holy water, the sound of A. People what are your favorite song titles so far and which ones are you most looking forward to hearing?

[Feezle-Nuts]

Single was ok. Really like the titles of the songs, but that means very little if they suck. We will see. In agreement that I was expecting an ACG live set on the bonus disc. Not having it makes the bonus disc make very little sense. Live recording of rarities would have been nice instead but again with the classics. Meh. Hope the actual album is good.

Also, I'm really curious why they ditched the third ACG studio song.

They didn't ditch the 3rd ACG new song, it's on the main album disc 1,but who knows which one it is.

I'm wondering this why is everyone on this thread keep asking if the new album is gonna be good or not. . Since when has Alice disappointed us fans with a bad horrible album?? Maybe once, with ACAS but other than that never, I think it will be brilliant, and why would Alice put out Crap?? Hmmm think about this for a moment.

This is such a waste...a complete ripoff. They could have released 12 songs on one disc, because I guarantee those 12 songs combined do not take up 75 minutes of space, and then released almost a full live show on another disc if he wanted too give us something worth having.

I don't think it was Alice's decision what material ended up going on at least disc 2 , I think that was definitely a record executive companys decision for sure.

Ultimate Classic Rock has a nice article.

[RemarkablyInsincere]

But, seriously? Another No more mr Nice guy? Billion Dollar Babies? Under my wheels?
Why? I'm seriously asking, why

Only thing I an figure is the "classics" pull in the casual on the fence buyer who knows those songs.

[AliceFan]

Alice posted this recently on his NWAC Facebook : paranormal is like 12 episodes of the Twilight Zone but in little evil tales. Now I'm really excited for this album after what Alice said.

[guttertrash]

Did I hear somewhere that this was the third part of a trilogy with the last two albums? Along Came A Spider, Along Came A Sucker, and now we get Along Came The Sheeple.

[andyrew]

Did they change their minds with the whole "I wanna be a Genuine American Girl", or did they forget to put "I wanna be a" in the track listing? Unless track 10 "The sound of A" leads into song 11 to form "The Sound of a Genuine American Girl"? It could explain the whole cross dressing theme without stating it directly in track 10.

[AliceFan]

I don't think they forgot the beginning part of the song in the tracklisting, that would be a pretty big mistake, I think Alice just doesn't get things accurate sometimes and the " I wanna be a" part is just a part he sings in the song itself. And the sound of a is right as well it's a completely separate song.
