    Blood on the Valley floor... holy fuck :shock:

    On my 4th run through this album, I honestly couldn't have asked for anything more. Ok, maybe a Like Suicide type 7 minute epic, but that's being picky. This album is fucking great.

    I couldn't agree with you more! This album kicks some serious arse! I think the section in Black Saturday that was used in the album trailer could have been a bit longer, then we could have got our Like Suicide-esque epic!

    I hate to be in the narrow minded camp, but I really don't think Halfway There fits with the rest of the tracks! Yeah it sounds more like a Cornell solo track, and although I liked most of his solo stuff, it just seems to stick out!

    I know when backspacer came out people said that there was quite a few Vedder sounding solo tracks, but they didn't seem as out of place to me, if you catch my drift?!

    I get the Halfway there critisism but I think it just makes worse dreams even more awesome coming off the back of that track :D

    True! Nice way to put a positive spin on things :) In fact, it makes the last 3 tracks seem more awesome!

    Blocked at work. I'd be listening to it in full if I could.

    From what I can tell, all of the leaks are just rips of the online iTunes and / or NME streams. Has anyone found a bona fide CD rip leak yet?

    Yeah same here, if there's a bonafide CD rip out there, please shoot me a PM!! Thanks! Album sounds excellent halfway into it. A Thousand Days....wow, I could see that song being an instant classic. And BOTVF fucking kills.

    This sounds better than the NME stream, but I'm not sure if it's CD quality!

    Why? The album is streaming, you're not stealing it or hearing snippets. Its out, full audio on Itunes. You can listen for free and still purchase it next Tuesday......?

    I've just started the album. This is a good day. Nobody better interrupt me at work.

    Just finished my first run-through. It definitely sounds like Soundgarden, but not like any album in specific. They didn't try to emulate their prior successes, but rather created a natural evolution of their sound. There were some good hard tracks, and nice lighter ones. Sadly, nothing stuck out as stellar during this listen, but that could just be because of the shitty computer speakers at work. I'm going to restart it and give it another shot.

    Yeah you really need to crank it up on some decent speakers. Oh, and A Thousand Days Before is more than stellar!

    I'm digging By Crooked Steps right now. Reminds me of some early SG with modern touches.

    Definitely, I love the intro too.

    I can imagine the band playing Room a Thousand Years Wide - Superunknown - A Thousand Days Before together. Feels like they would flow pretty well.

    Edit: Searching With My Good Eye Closed would also fit well beside it.
