I just heard the livid play the whole damn thing live. I'll listen to it tomorrow when I get my hearing back.
The night's as hot as hell. It's a lousy room in a lousy part of a lousy town - I'm staring at a goddess. She's telling me she
wants me. I'm not going to waste one more minute wondering how I've gotten this lucky. She smells like angels ought to smell, the perfect
woman... the Goddess. Goldie. She says her name is Goldie.

Come on, people. The first thing I did when I got home was throw on some headphones and listen to the whole thing from beginning to end. Actually,
I'll pop it in right now before I write a review.
First of all, I now know why Joel said there is 11 songs, because there are. The trippy little intro is a little over 2 minutes long. Also, I've
heard all of the songs before, some of them dozens of times, so it's been really strange (in a really good way) to hear the songs recorded and
on an album.
What can I say about the first track, besides that I think it's probably one of the best songs I've heard in my life. I'm not just
saying that, I'm so fond of it that "Test run" could be my favourite song ever.
"I could fall" I feel sounds pretty much the same. The major difference in the song's new mix is the vocals. They are alot more
crisp. For example, you can really hear the spit in some of the words Justin's voice. Basically, the same thing goes for "Release",
as well.
I found the new mix of "Sink" to be more subtle than the previous two songs. I'm listening to it right now, and I'm trying to
really hear the differences and they are hard to point out. I notice the guitar to be more clear in the Chorus and and at the end. The vocals also,
like the whole album, now have that reverb/delay sound, which I think sounds great.
The best of all the new mixes is clearly "shaded". Everything about the song sounds waaay better. Right from the first second you can
tell, and it really gets better throughout the whole song. A long time ago I wasn't really the biggest fan of this song, but it have become my
favourite of the older 5 songs.
"At the seams" sounds so much different than I had expected. I don't think I've ever heard a song with the vocals like that.
You'll understand what I mean when you hear it. I think it's really cool, though. Some of the vocal parts near the end of the song I wish
were a bit lounder. That may be because of the system I'm listening to, though.
The one song I didn't know very well is "part of you". It's possibly one of the most uniquely written songs. It seams like
absolutely every part is different from the next. I love the part " you don't have to use it, but please don't loose it". The
part that shines the most is the drums. The drums are so good, you can see everyone staring at Adam in amazement when he plays it. This song is
brilliant. I fucking love it.
Right from the beginning of "the tide" you can hear they added a watery sound to the guitar and right when Justin starts singing it have
that under water sound to it. It definitely adds to the feel of the song. Justin, I have a feeling your producer was right about removing the final
scream, it sounds good as is. I would have loved to hear it, but definitely keep doing it live. It always sounds awesome.
All of the same thoughts about " I coud fall" and "release" apply for "reckless", in my opinion.
"In Circles" has one of the nicest verses of all the songs. That's the part that always shines for me. It's a very catchy song
that closes out the CD really nicely.
That's all I can say for now, boys. Amazing work. I'm such a big fan and I can't imagine any CD coming along in the future that will
be able to top this whole experience for me. Now promote this thing like fucking crazy and you'll be big.
I'd really like to hear some other peoples opinions on the CD, so get posting! The band deserves it.

Ya sorry guys not diggin the new album.... right like that's possible this is the best album I have heard all year! I mean good lord how is it
possible that they keep getting better!? I'm going to have to go with Schembri when he said that Part of Me is his Fav it is such a stellar
song. At The Seams is a close second with the production and mixing of it being so incredable!
If you haven't bought the CD buy 4 !

*raises hand*
I bought 4. I would have bought alot more, but I spent half my money getting to the show.
Everyone I know likes the band, so it couldn't hurt to buy a whole bunch and sell them to my friends. I already sold the other ones I bought.

Man this new album is un-believable. I knew after the first song (@ the concert) that this album was going to be killer. From front to back, this
album is the most unique, well written I've ever listened too. There is not one song that I dislike, they're all brilliant.
I'd have to say that my fav. song is probably Test Run or Part of me.. Or every other damn song on that album. God damnit, it's soo
killer.
Screw any other album- The Ambition Within is DEFINATELY being played before each and every hockey game of mine. If this album doesn't get you
pumped up, you are a peen.
Muhaha- Crazy intro btw. I'll try and figure out what it says, and let you guys in on the darkness of it... The intro suits the new page... Very
well!

i'll tell schembri to expect orders for stuff from you two the very day the store goes online, or get postal orders to him pronto, otherwise
there might be some ass kicking involved here.
