    i've been listening to parts of it...i don't know what i think yet as i usually prefer his funkier, more rock oriented stuff and this is a very mellow album. still, the mellow songs here are better than in the past and there are still a lot of upbeat songs so i should wind up liking it
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    Ben's been on a bit of a loosing streak.....we'll see if he can turn it around.

    Loosing streak? If you mean losing streak, losing in what way? I loved his last album.

    you can bet I am buying the cd.

    But i listened to the leaked version and I am actually disppoainted. New Ben Albums are like new pearl Jam or Bruce or Dylan records. There is no question the content on the record will be above par and excellent.

    But this album isnt as good as previous ben releases. He has moments of beauty on this record. The final two songs are mindblowing and beautiful, but there are many songs in the middle of the record that arent up to snuff.

    I am a tad disappointed.

    I've ordered mine and you can get a listen here to "In The Colors" then click on it and watch the video.

    i liken his last two albums to pearl jams binaural/riot act period......some good songs but overall lackluster albums.

    I'm so excited, I'm literally counting the hours!

    It's been killing me not to download it the past month or so, but I wanted to wait and have the full experience of buying, unwrapping, putting on my headphones and devoting a couple of hours to listening and going over the album art. I never get early downloads of my favorite artists, and Ben is my favorite next to Pearl Jam.

    if you're referring to "say you will" i completely agree. something about the live version was much more powerful and energetic...and i'm not crazy about all the female backup vocals on the studio version
