The lush production values of TCH with the darker stylings that lay somewhere darker than MHTRTC and lighter than Geogaddi.

It's so great to hear something new. I don't think this'll ever make my top 10 BoC list but I'm sure something else on the album will. I'm just glad the song they've decided to put out as a preview isn't some pile of crap that deflates the excitement for the album - not that I ever suspected it would be but I always have a fear at the back of my mind when one of my favourite bands is about to release something

What is the significance of this?
Splitting the atom?

i dont think thats an explosion, i think that is the sun. it then seperates after placed in the middle of the rectangle, and then divides into 3.

that song and video are truly epic. i am being hit with a million different emotions right now.

should I scrobble this as album name 'Reach For the Dead', or put it under 'Tomorrow's Harvest'?

take your time, don't rush this.

i'd say leave the tags intact as they are official... wait until you have the full album to scrobble as TH

I'm liking the bit at the end of the video, with the mirrored clouds and rectangular symbol thing appearing. This is very much a music + visuals deal for me. There are different chords for that part, it's like a particularly evil TV ident.

But then if if I play this 100+ times between now and the album then that's -100 plays for TH and the whole thing get's skewed!
I am a pathetic husk of a man.

It's quite difficult to orientate at that part, isn't it?

This part is so surrealist that I'm asking myself if it's real footage, or 3D...

I dig the track. But I don't like how long the intro is in relation to the total track length. It's way too long, with the best part being way too short (about a minute). It leaves much to be desired. They could have made it 7 or 8 minutes long and done more with the track, that's all I'm sayin

Does anyone have/know of a way to download the RFTD video in high quality? My rubbish internet won't load it on youtube.

Get the VideoDownloadHelper plugin for Firefox. There are prob easier ways though if you don't have FF

I wonder what Gemini sounds like. On past albums the opening song was always a small introduction to set the tone... but now it will be different.

MHTRTC - Wildlife Analysis 1:17
Geogaddi - Ready, Let's Go 0:59
TCH - Into The Rainbow Vein 0:44
TH - Gemini 2:56
