Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying."

Wow...and I didn't expect a longer song than The Incident.

Same day as 3, nice!


When they tour, they are going to need like 4 hours.

Mmmmm, wonder what the track times are for disc 2.

...and even if it takes a lifetime to learn,
I'll learn.

This sounds to be awesome.  Thanks Mike!  And on the same release date in America as the new BTBAM CD.  Will my ears handle it?

We made a land where crap is king and the good don't last too long

UNFREAKING-BELIEVABLE!! A 77 minute long epic?!?!? How freaking AMAZING is that! Hahaha!! It's going to rule over every other epic ever created!

Awesome, I haven't been so excited about a release in quite some time. 

I wonder if they'll tour? 

"Isn' t that Captain Stoobing?" - JP
"Ass... And balls!" -MP

What label?

Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!!!!!  I am so excited - definitely must have the special edition!!!

Holy Feing god. this is beyond awesome!

Nice!

77-minutes?
Shit, for their next tour, Mike will be saying "nothing but a fucking epic tonight!"

Just guesses, but:

Radiant/Metal Blade - This is how Neal's albums have/had been coming out.
Roadrunner maybe?

I really can't think of anything else. Maybe Inside Out, who knows? I'm sure Mike will let us know eventually.

Anyways, HOLY CRAP! Happy Birthday to me this October. MP must have remembered my b-day and decided to release this just for me. Or not.

My prog blog. I promise it will be better next time.

I thought I heard that despite SPV's demise, InsideOut was actually hanging in there still. I could be wrong, but there's nothing super weird about The Whirlwind being on IO. Of course, I don't care what label. I'm going to order it off the internet and have tons of fun with it no matter who put it out.

And 77 minutes is pretty awesome. Neal's going to beat his previous record by another twenty minutes. Yeesh. The guy is one crazy boy.

The problem is, or rather one of the problems, for there are many, a sizable number of which are continually clogging up the civil, commercial, and criminal courts in all areas of the Galaxy, and especially, where possible, the more corrupt ones, this.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...Looked at the forum and  JIZZED    IN     my PANTS...

I cannot wait for this, but this is what I just cannot understand... WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND would buy just the single cd edition of The Whirlwhind, when there are 4 additional original tracks on the deluxe edition? Makes no sense- to the point where I'd be amazed if the regular edition sold even ONE copy! If you're a TA fan, and you plan to buy this release, how is it remotely possible NOT to buy the limited edition? It's one thing when a band releases a limited edition where the bonus CD has just covers or live stuff and you don't want to splurge on that... but if the bonus CD is considered part of the album and actually contains new songs, I don't see who wouldn't see that as the ONLY option....

Agree with you.

And I think we all should order the album from the InsideOut online store to help them! (if that's the case)

knowing me, i'm gonna buy both :-)

Oh. My. Gawd.

October 27th:

Between the Buried and Me - The Great Misdirect
3 - Revisions Volume 1: Anyone Human
Transatlantic - The Whirlwind

certainly one of the bigger dates of the year for prog.

omg, ANOTHER cd for me to buy...


i'm screwed

Sometimes you just don't know what to say.

This is the first time in a long while that I've really been excited about an album.  I miss this feeling.

A Change of Stevens

Portnoy

7. I NEED YOU (America / The Beatles)

... I don't get it. 

They both have a song called I Need You.  I'm betting it's a mash-up of the two together somehow.
 
BTW, this is fan-fuckin'-tastic news about the new album!
 
So when are the tour dates?

October 27th:

Between the Buried and Me - The Great Misdirect
3 - Revisions Volume 1: Anyone Human
Transatlantic - The Whirlwind

certainly one of the bigger dates of the year for prog.

Other notable releases on 10/27 also include Creed, Weezer, and Train.
 
 

This is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

77 minutes?

Jeez, if they ever record another album they'll have to release it on DVD if they attempt to top that, in order to fit it on one disk.

Will definitely be getting this as soon as it is available. This is definitely a great year in music. And hopefully they tour, although I doubt they'd come anywhere near me. But I can still hope for a DVD if they tour. Playing a 77 minute song would be pretty insane.

DAMN

77 min epic....INSANE
this news made my day

I don't get why the 4 other tracks are kept as a SE....since there are new studio songs.
The good thing is that the wait is not that long.

Carpe Diem !

That's some killer news!

Wow, a 77 min single.  This will be the epic of epics!

This is amazing! Transatlantic is one of my favorite bands and I just can't believe yet that they're releasing a new studio album!

this gonna be... wait for it... LEGENDARYYY

So when do we get to this pre-order?
I want to throw my money out there now before I buy other stuff.

Call me a smart ass but I kinda anticipated that it would be only one song which spreads over an entire disc.

I do asume though, that it will be separated like 6DoIT.

I do asume though, that it will be separated like 6DoIT.

Well, I for one hope not. Either way, I'm ripping it as one track. Not because it's proggier or hipper or whatever, but just because I never like having songs separated. I might for the new PT, because that seems to be just a connected series of songs with a flow but no real cohesion. A Neal epic, though, always has cohesion, no matter what insults you might want to lobby at the fellow.

The problem is, or rather one of the problems, for there are many, a sizable number of which are continually clogging up the civil, commercial, and criminal courts in all areas of the Galaxy, and especially, where possible, the more corrupt ones, this.

Thanks !!!

Waiting for October now ...

holy shit
