WHOA WTF!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Banks of Eden? That's fine. This made me really excited now because we have a title, a release date, and some artwork (I'm sure the full artwork is even better). CoolCoolCoolCoolCoolCoolCoolCoolCoolCoolCool

i really like the cover art.  it doesn't blow me away on first look, but i'm getting into it.  this is gonna be a solid album with lots to study and get into.  can't wait.  still love that pic from the initial press release.  it's my computer wallpaper now.  they're all skinny m'f'ers.

I have to say "wow" at Tomas' "I AM" album, such a powerful piece of music. I'm inclined to say it's better than a few TFK albums, after only a few listens. I love the UtF references and the ending was very powerful, sort of like Garden of Dreams or The Truth Will Set You Free. I had chills for like 10 minutes.

Anyway, it looks like we got news of TFK's new album before the GoD forum or TFK Yahoo board got wind of it Thumbs Up

If only the OP was still around, he could update the thread title with "New TFK album June 18, 2012!!!"

You should send him a PM telling him he needs to come back and visit his thread and update the title. LOL

Whoa, I love Chicken Farmer Song and I'm simply making an observation a out what I noticed. The Truth's chorus is more grandoise, but harmonically they seem very similar.

I like the artwork a lot, but it's very odd for TFK. Much more somber and classical than any of their other album covers.

While I can understand what you are saying, it applies to MANY of their songs, not just the two you mention.

Ok, thanks, I take My Chicken Farmer song seriously since all the bashing it has received around  here... 

I think that if prog bands would "lighten up" a bit more and do songs like Chicken Farmer, prog would be a lot more popular and that would serve us all.  Tales by YES is one of my top 3 YES records, but every song doesn't need to be a 30 minute opus!

And yes, the new FK album cover is great, much better then naked women with monkeys.  I wonder who thought of that idea???

^yep, the Adam & Eve cover is pretty embarassing for a serious prog band.
