a) new tracklist

b) new artwork

c) new interviews

Presuming you havent heard any of the songs? Do you soemtimes get a preconceived idea in your head of what the songs may sound like?

    Out of those, probably seeing the tracklisting. Although tour dates are always nice.
    Yield!

  • I like to hear the details in the production end. Of course the music is why I purchase them. I like Brendans work so I am stoked.

    THE CRAZY TIME WHEN THE TRACK STARTS TO PLAY..
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
    “..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

    Use it everyday. It will catch on. Let me know when you hear somebody else use it from the UK. I'll feel like I have accomplished something huge. Oh, and I'll definitely be STOKED.

  • I get most excited about the pre-album single when it gets released. Then you know full-blown energy is about to unfold!

    guess ill go with b) the artwork

    the interviews are always great too... but the band always seems to say similar things about every album... and they start mentioning new albums like 2 years prior to the actual release so its hard to get too excited

    and theres no way to get any real feel for the albums based on tracklisting IMO

    Artwork and the joy of looking at the artwork while listening to the new cd through headphones
    Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
    Sammi: Wanna just break up?

    Nice thread. I'd say tracklist and interviews that provide good descriptions of the new jams. Gets me pumped as hell every time...

    The anticipation that the music will be something that awakens new emotions and ideas in me, excites me most in the run-up to an album's release.

    I love getting the first video of the band playing new songs in the studio or anywhere else for that matter.

    And we already Got Some!!!
