| I've still not made up my mind if I should even listen to the previews or wait for the album and the whole songs. 30 sec. is kinda short and I don't wanna get a wrong impression of the songs.

i'm gonna wait. i've been (like everybody else) waiting for so long now that 4 or 5 more weeks won't kill me, and i'd rather listen to the full album once i have it in my hands rather that to some snippets... | |

| I think he sounds like Bono on a lot of the songs... The way he sings...
Surprised at the vocal quality of a lot of the songs, but I love them! | |

| I'm not going to listen to the 30 sec clips either...that's just a tease. I'm anxious enough after hearing Black Betty and Behold the Hurricane. | |

| I don't know how you guys are getting the clips. When I switch to the UK store it shows the preorder but won't let me listen to the clips. Probably for the best though. I'd just want to hear more than 30 seconds lol.
When will this album leak already? | |

| I just read that iTunes took the previews off. Guess they weren't supposed to give them out already. Poor Brian. He might go insane over the incompetence of all those people  | |

| Wow those previews have just whet my appetite so much more! I think the standout for me at this moment would have to be Crush. | |

| This is one of the smartest things I've seen any band do before an album launches.
I know how much Brian hates it when songs leak and how 'the magic of music is lost', but this is a very fair compromise. Gives the impatient fans something to get excited about and boosts the band's album sales.
Kudos to THC and iTunes! | |

They are still there when I go into the UK store. They are back online here as well. Maybe that's part of the deal with iTunes .... | |

| To be crass (and to reference vince vaughn), listening to a 30 second preview of this album is like saying "just the tip." | |

Very interesting. We can now hear more of Black Betty than before (including the "whispering" part one of the reviewers referred to). | |

Yeah, the exact same with me and Blood Loss. I'm not worried about these previews ruining the album for me, because my liking the album increased exponentially from listening to the 30 second previews to listening to the 90 second ones. I can't imagine what listening to the whole album will be like. | |
