They look great! $50 per piece. I'll order one, just need to pick. Tough choice :)

It's very good, it would be not bad at all...

@admins: everything clear about the leaking, i wrote here just because i was sure to find somebody to confirm my skeptics.

I am very happy to join the community so i share with you my thoughts about the upcoming album:

Disc 1
1. If Eternity Should Fail (Dickinson) 8:28 - I am expecting something similar to the style of Revelations with a heavy finale
2. Speed Of Light (Smith/ Dickinson) 5:01 - Great composer couple (btw the did not do something recent), i hope on a song much more The Wicker Man than an Out of the Shadows or Coming home
3. The Great Unknown (Smith/ Harris) 6:37 - I want a good song here, heavy, melodic and powerful
4. The Red And The Black (Harris) 13:33 - I am praying for a classical Harris suite, but without the ramblings of the last album
5. When The River Runs Deep (Smith/ Harris) 5:52 - I see a filler here, hope to be wrong
6. The Book Of Souls (Gers/ Harris) 10:27 - One of my high expectation from the album, the new Dance of Death

Disc 2
7. Death Or Glory (Smith/ Dickinson) 5:13 - A slow and melodic song
8. Shadows Of The Valley (Gers/ Harris) 7:32 - The new Ghost of the Navigator?
9. Tears Of A Clown (Smith/ Harris) 4:59 - Another filler
10. The Man Of Sorrows (Murray/ Harris) 6:28 - the title is disappointing, i hope the song is not banal
11. Empire Of The Clouds (Dickinson) 18:01 - Everything can happen song, some piano parts in it?

I hope it's nothing more than your fantasy.
 
I predict that Empire Of Clouds will be a great f***ing story all told through an 18 minute tune that everyone will love and be talking about for a long time, but there will be that one person who keeps commenting on how it's just not that great..

You have to admit that 18 minutes are a lot, is not difficult to result boring or repetitive. I hope not, since Bruce has written no things from 2005 and he could be very into this song.

No. The longer the better. If you use editor, you can easily make it a 10 minute masterpiece. "Greatest Show on Earth" is a good example.
