Saturday is the 10th of October. Maybe we're able to hear those 30 seconds in the official website since we're supposed to have the record next month. Just guessing... Any bets?

Where to buy THE CIRCLE?
 

Boys/Girls! I have to pre-order The Circle and I don't know what to do.

Am I right, if I say that the only difference between Amazon.com and HMV.co.jp (Japan). Is the SHM-CD? Both comes with WWWB? Please! If you could help me :), because I also have to give a friend a birthday gift.

Judging from that interview, I think its possible Live Before You Die might not be the parody we're expecting. It seems a theme Jon is attempting (which, granted, does not by any measure means he succeeded in delivering it in the final product) to convey in the album is about humans who reach the midway point in their lives and begin to fear they haven't accomplished anything. That certainly seems to be a theme in Broken Promise Land and Fast Cars (which also, in theory, has the potential to not suck as much as the title indicates). Live Before You Die might not be a "make it through the night, everyday I gotta live my life, I've had a nice day but i ain't gonna sleep tonight" sorta song, but rather a song about a man measuring his own life as he ages.

Of course, even if it doesn't turn out to be a lyrical descendant of the IML clone family tree, the song may still suck anyways. Still, thought I'd throw some optimism in the fire.

Honestly, I have a feeling this album is going to turn out quite similar to Lost Highway. A scant few songs that the band actually put some thought into and are good (WFTWM is a probably candidate for this), and then a lot of songs that we'll be skipping over so many times the buttons might get jammed (Superman Tonight, Love is the Only Rule, Learn to Love? etc).

"I just live my life in the way I am everyday"

?????

Is this parody? :cool:

Well, that was from Thorn In My Side, wasn't it? Besides, that was just from Jon speaking. Even he wouldn't be dumb enough to make that an actual lyric... haha... right... right?

I'm not even a fan of the 30 second snips honestly. I'd just rather hear the album in full, clear, physical quality for the first time. JMO of course.

Plus, that interview has been translated from English to Japanese and then back into English, am I right? I really hope that is either a bad translation or just something Jon said, and not a lyric!

You are right. The two languages don't directly correlate so there might be some leeway there.

Yeah, that´s what I think, too. Still, I can see the line as a part of a big anthemic chorus ;)

A month left till the circle. :)

One wonders if the giant build up will pay off. If I like this album more or equal to HAND then I will be thrilled. Especially excited about working man.
