For those awaiting the release of the album (Monday) here's a review of the latest album - With us until your dead.

Can also be listened to in its entirety here (streamed - try before you buy style)

Initial thoughts for me - it's a must have, recording sounds spot on via computer, lets see what the actual hard copy sounds like.

Thanks for that Steve. I really hope they have laid off on the copy protection this time. My CDs of Live at the Zenith, Lights and Noise are a real pain to rip without terrible distortion.

Got a few Archive albums, but haven't followed them for about 5 or 6 years so I will check this one out - cheers for the heads up Steve.

The albums *should* be with me tomorrow, post dependant (so that will be next week as I do want them)..

With twelve members it is going to be mighty interesting to see how it all goes together, especially at the London gig.

I do find Maria Q's voice to be magical, The track Silently just adds to that.

Having streamed it several times I have to say that it appears to be a very 'complete' album with not a duff track on it, and little - if any - padding.

I appear to have three copies of it <rolleyes> as the vinyl came with a free cd copy in a slipcase

Ripped without a problem, added artwork all by itself, and I have not heard much by the way of compression yet, they have obviously been listening.

New management = much more freedom in the UK apparently.

Going to be listening to this most of the day I think.
