Other than missing Sea Of Sorrow that's a decent set list. I like A Looking In View i'm deffinately picking up the new album when it comes out.

They never play it, so I don't think anyone missed it. I certainly didn't miss Heaven Beside You, which they do normally play. I think probably the most requested song not played was Bleed The Freak.

Of the other new songs, Acid Bubble was great, Check My Brain, which will be the first single, was poor.

I thought A Looking In View was the single. I've been hearing the radio play it.

The radio may have picked it up, but I don't think it's been released as a single. Although they have done a video for it...

Nice set, but I won't be totally devastated if I miss the first leg (hopefully not the only) of the tour.

So would you say the first 'single' was better or worse than A Looking In View? Or is it something you possibly have to hear a couple times?

I think I prefer A Looking In View. But Acid Bubble is more complicated, so might require further listenings.

Check My Brain, which will be released the week before the album, didn't catch me at all. Short, one-dimensional, and a blatant attempt at a catchy radio chorus. Main riff wasn't too bad though.

Looking at that set list, I will be very happy seeing them next month.

Cool review. I'm starting to think some of my favorite songs will never be played again due to vocal limitations. We'll see.

Anyone know when the new cd comes out?
