Flying Colors - Now Available!!!

@proxima: What I did was click the north American link on the left side if the page. It took me to pretty much the same page, and clicked add to cart, it then took me to the English page.

^what he said! I just ordered mine!

Just ordered the Limited Edition + Poster.

Hoping we can get a full song soon.

Just ordered the CD+poster/t-shirt combo. Really looking forward to digging into this album. Look's like Mike has quite the year ahead of him. I really hope( if they can get the logistics together) for a tour. All that talent on one stage....would be quite the show.....

Preorders from Radiant will start on February 15th with the first 100 signed by Mike and Neal. http://www.radiantrecords.com/default.aspx
 
I don't know what the price will be at Radiant, but I can't see them matching the prices from Mascot once shipping is added.

Boo hiss! I should have waited!

Just got the latest issue of Classic Rock Presents Prog,the free cd has Everything Changes on it,brilliant stuff!

Really didn't think Radiant was going to release this as well. Would have waited to go for the signed copy. Wish we would have known before ordering from Mascot.

Radient says 15 too before shipping.

Gotta say, my anticipation for this album went from a 10 to an 8 (on the 10 scale) after reading that Mike said there's a lot of Radiohead, Coldplay, and Muse influence on this album. I am NOT a fan of those 3 bands and I am a tad worried. I'm not looking for a Yes/Genesis/Rush carbon copy, but I'd like to hear some challenging guitar and drum work. Fucking Muse? Ugh.

I think it's awesome too, especially the part where it goes into the total Beach Boys part before the solo.
Quote didn't work. I was referring to Everything Changes.

New review in Phantom Tollbooth!

"it grabbed me before I was finished with the first listen"

....as if I was not already excited about this album!

Not many musicians who would get a new project together and it is an instant buy for me just b/c they are a part of it but Mike and Neal absolutely do that.  I have not listened to any of the snippets for this album, but I have no doubt I'll love it.  Cannot wait for March as between this and the full Adrenaline Mob release it should be a great month!

Awesome album, just convinced me to pre-order the 2 Vinyl + shirt bundle, it must be 180 grams since the album's like an hour long.

Well, to be frank, I'm not much impressed with the trailer, but I'm not coming to any conclusions before it's released. So far Morse/Portnoy duo has always recorded awesome albums.

Yeah - color me disappointed.
 
I'd much rather have a signed copy than a poster.
 
Why can't they announce this stuff at the same time - pre-order from here and get X, or wait to pre-order from Radiant to get Y.

Found it a bit annoying. First they announced the CD+poster on Mascot Records, then they later added a version with the t-shirt and now a signed version?
 
Anyways, getting the signed CD is a crap shoot (luck basically), so I'll stick with the CD+t-shirt (amazing cover is excellent, f0sh0).

Flying Colors sounds pretty cool, musically, but I don't like the vocals at all. I would have preferred that Neal Morse be the primary lead vocalist.

Personally, I'm glad Neal isn't doing the lead vocals. When I first heard about Mike working with Neal again, I didn't pay any attention to it because I figured Neal would be doing the vocals and I have never cared for his voice.
 
I just came across the promo video and I must say that, even though the vocals don't blow me away, they're not bad. I may just have to pick this up.
 
By the way, in case it hasn't been mentioned yet (I haven't read all the posts), there is another Flying Colors band: http://www.amazon.com/Oth...MY/ref=wl_mb_hu_c_5_dp
 

First preview of the album is up on their Facebook page.
 
Holy shit!

And judging by the length of the tracks it might also be a prog band, what are the odds !
But isn't that gonna be a problem, two active bands with the same name ? 
 
Anyway the preview sounds killer...no doubts now that this album will be amazing

Any way you guys could cancel your original pre-order?  Thankfully I had no pre-ordered this yet so I will do so today from Radiant.  But I agree that they should announce all options up front.  Kind of like when bands sell tickets for certain concerts before all dates for that tour are announced.

''Flying Colors has just released our first record, titled "The Other Side", which chronicles the band's 20-year exploration of psychedelic rock, blues, country, ballads, and much more.''
...this might be a problem. They have been around since 1990.

Anyone has buyed it at radiantrecords? It's impossible 

I'm in the process of doing it, but at the speed their website is working, it's gonna take all day to complete the purchase.

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! WTF

Thank God I have today off, or else I'd be sitting on the toilet (or pretending to) at work waiting 15 goddamn minutes for each page to load.

I just finished my checkout. That was about the most painful web experience I can ever remember. 15 minutes from hitting "Add to Cart" to the "Order processed" page. No idea if I made it in the first 100.

Ugh finally.  Freaking started the process at 11:00 and finally got the order processed at 11:20.  That was torture.  I can't imagine I was one of the first 100 if the website was THAT slow but who knows.

The website was horrible slow! Don't know if i'll make it. If I don't, still 18 bucks was great considering sometimes Radiant releases are a bit more expensive.

Wow, that sucked some big hairy balls.
 
11:25 by the time I completed that order. Order # 7837. Hope I made the first 100, bud doubt it.

In Flying Colors' facebook someone got #7681. Mine is not in the first 100... 20 minutes of wasted time 
 
 

Took me a solid 20 minutes as well.  My order number was in the "7K" range.  I hope that doesn't mean for this particular item and just in general.  Either way, the end of March is a LONG way off.  Looking forward to getting my hands (ears) around this.

Just finished my order, also took 20 minutes. We'll see if we're in the first 100 next month.

goo-goo

Yeah I have to admit I was shocked that it was $15 through Radiant.  That made me feel like it was worth taking a shot at getting an autographed copy.
To make matters worse for me, I already had something in my cart as I was trying to see earlier this morning what the payment options were but I never cleared my cart out, then the first time I submitted payment, it didn't go through for some B.S. reason so I ended up just doing it through Paypal.  So each of those delayed the process even more.  LOL

I am an idiot for not pre-registering an account. 30 minutes later and I am done. #7901.

If someone got #7681 in facebook, I think signed albums will finish at 7770-7780 more or less :(

If that's true, I have a slight chance of being in the first 100.  But who knows what the actual first order was.  I think Mike and Neal should sign a few extra copies for our troubles.  LOL

The last Transatlantic album was signed until 300, wasn't it? They could do the same
