The - to me unknown songs - are amazing

Dazzling Blue, Rewrite , Love and Blessings.


I heard that Love and Blessings is wonderful, but it sounds even better than I expected.

It is interesting (from those small parts) to hear how different the songs are. My first expectation in Nov. when I heard GRFCD was that this album will be even more in the direciton of Surprise. But that was not true, the songs are all extreme different. Wow.

Yes, Neil Diamond is right, I don´t think someone will release a better album in the next time.

LOL !!!

The year is young Bodo.

Well, thank you for that.

Please note that QFTA sounds exactly how it was released in 2009.

So, we already know QFTA, Amulet, GRFCD, Afterlife & SBOSW. New stuff will be for the remaining 5 songs, and the tour !

Thanks Bodo.

I couldn´t resist to listen :) The snippets of the songs I didn´t hear so far sound very promising. Good thing we can count the weeks now till the release.

Thanks for the find Bodo!
And yes, as much as I Love "Questions For The Angels," it would have been nice to hear any new production or recording ideas that Paul might have had with the song.
The album sounds great so far, with "Dazzling Blue" reminding me a bit of The Everly Brothers´ 1968 B-side "Lord Of The Manor."

Oh, and I forgot ´Love and Hard Times´, which we have heard many times. We just have to discover the final arrangements.

So, four total surprises awaits us.

My favorite (of the ones we haven´t heard) was Rewrite. I thought it sounded amazing. Dazzling Blue was sounding great as well. Amulet was much better than the version with the lady moaning over it. And Love and Blessings sounded like it´s gonna be really good. Also did anybody else notice how much better SBOSW sounds in full quality?

Yeah! I noticed that SBOSW sounded much more complex and wonderful too.

Thanks for the post, Bodo! It was fantastic getting a chance to hear just a sampling of what is going to be Paul´s best album in decades.

Thanks Bodo,they all sound excellen! What was the Neil Diamond quote you mentioned? Has Neil said something about the new album?

I agree. I´m already salivating over this. It has been a long time since I awaited a new album this eagerly. Neil Daimond derisively criticized the title, since it would be hard hard to remember and then challenged the audience to write an album that would surpass Simon´s in quality, so he was actually paying him a compliment. Still writing, Ian?
