I've listened to a couple songs off the new AVA, nothing really impressed me. None of the songs really stick out, or are memorable. Musically, its sounds the same to me, some drumming with Tom singing :-/

But I'm still gonna have to listen to the rest.

It hurts is my favorite out of the new songs...

I'm not impressed at all, hearing all of the album.

It Hurts is my favorite so far.

Maybe AVA will be the best band in the world. Just because there are no good mainstream bands now.

I love the song It Hurt's, except the line "Your best friend is not your girlfriend".
Tom seems to have come up with a few cringeworthy lines on this album.

The Adventure, and The War were the only 2 decent tracks on that album imo.

okay the whole album has leaked and i dont have it yet but someone said something about it being on a "punk disaster" thread or website I dont know does anyone know about this

Look on the last page of this thread mate. You may find it a hidden. ;)

Ah HA! got it

"Valkyrie's Missile" and "The War" are the only 2 tracks which remotely interest me. I doubt I will play this album again, there are far better albums coming out this year.

Upon further listeningage, I don't think its a bad album, but it was a dissapointment.

The songs to me aren't bad, but they aren't catchy, at all, compared to The Adventure.

But I still think its an ok album, maybe a high 6/low 7 outta 10.

I'm not really disappointed in this album. But I'm not happy with it. I was alright and I will probably buy it once it comes out. Maybe after a few more listens, I will like it more.

Oh man i wan't it soo bad.
EDIT: How big is the file???

Like a little less than 50MB.

edit:
58 according to itunes.

**** thats huge.
yeah i guess im gonna have to wait.

yeah i got dial up that would take forever

Man, highspeed is rad, screw that dial up thing. I like the album.

I hate it to, it sucks sooooo bad.

Alright, I've listined to the whole album a few times through.

My favourite tracks are:
It Hurts
The Adventure
The War
A Little's Enough
Distraction
and to a lesser extent, Valkyrie Missile, though it's alot lower, as I had high expectations for it.

The others just seem like fillers to me, though they will probabaly grow on me with time. Start The Machine is already getting better each time I listen to it.

The last minute of Valkyrie Missile has to be one of the best things Tom has ever written..I love that last minute..It's just..So powerful.

How many tickets is that?

Leeds/Reading festival sold out in 2 hours, which is like thousands and thousands of tickets.

/listens

123 to that.

I've always liked that bit, since it was just the ending for that movie thing on their site.

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought.

[I]The Adventure[/I] is by [I]far[/I] the best song on the album.

Turns out AVA are a bit of a 1-hit-wonder :p

Edit: The only bit in adventure which imo makes the song sound cheesier than I think it's supposed to be is "Like every single tree, reach for the sky, if you're gonna fall i'll pick you up like you for I."

It just sounds like it's [I]meant [/I]to rhyme and makes it really cheesy 'cause the words are a bit silly.

Knowing kids these days, AVA will probably have a few hits.

Yeah, I know some kids who only like them 'cause it's Tom, literally.

They'd be still kissing his feet if he started a boyband, or joined Westlife.

Silly fanboys/girls.

I actually really like the album I think.
It's more something I'd stick on in the background though when doing something else, or trying to relax.
I love the line in The Adventure;

"where all the children left without a trace
only to come back as pure as gold
to recite this all"

It makes me think the song is about Blink, and that line saying how all the fans abandoned him when they blamed him for Blink's break up, yet they will all return when he releases the album.

that would make sense, I'm guessing alot of the lyrics are about stuff like that.

On the album I have, the adventure isn't on it - is it supposed to be?
