I made the mistake of downloading and starting to listen to it around midnight PST last night. Ended up listening to the whole thing. All I can say is, they actually managed to live up to expectations, if not surpass them...sounds like a lot of this material is right up there with their best work. I actually think some of the musicianship has even taken another level up on this album, there are some real goosebump moments. The reviews I've been reading were right -- this album is insanely good. Invincible and 7empest are early favorites of mine.
