	I know I'm excited. I think the band's fantastic even though I only have Pawn Hearts and a few MP3s!

	I can't wait. If it's half as good as any previous VDGG album,it will be better than anything else released in 2005.

	Sounds premium. I wonder what they'll sound like, ie. what period of the band it'll bear most resemblence to, or if it'll be entirely different. Either way, I'm looking forward to it.

	I love VdGG but I have my reservations for celebration. Can these old geezers still release anything as intense as Pawn Hearts and Godbluff? I hope the music they make doesn't cause a pock mark to appear on an otherwise good catalogue of music. Please maintain the integrity guys!!

	Just listened to track one, sounding pretty promising. Hammill's voice sounds a lot better than I was expecting.
