This is for those brave legal folks.

You can listen to the album in full at MTV or VH1.com.
Try to act excited... this is the first time you get to hear the album! (*winkomania*)

The band (or ben mostly) talks about the main themes in every song here: http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?vid=230712

Talking Bird is his fav??? weird... it is growing on me though...
and I would have prefer Te Ice is Getting Thinner with piano... I wish it wasn't removed...

Well I can see why they are excited about how the song was recorded and made... it was probably an unusual and powerful experience for them that has left its mark. I do not agree with him though But it's probably a grower like you said...

Talking Bird is such a beautiful song. It pisses the shit out of me that people continue to act like it is one of the worst.

Opinions, opinions.

Well, I'm not saying it isn't powerful, but you have to be in the right mood to listen to it...

oh man, this is really starting to annoy me.
i can't watch any of these
But i can read on VH1 so thats good.

Here's another pretty cool video I found of Ben and Nick discussing every song on the new album:
CLICK!

Seeing as I keep it legal and I didn't get the leak.. holy crap I have fallen in love. This album really is a grower. First listen.. disappointment. 6th listen now. I like it better than Trans.

Tell me the last time an album did that for you.

It looks lilke ben is on drugs or something on the mtv video... soething's werid.

its cool to see that ben really does appreciate the band thouhg.

I love how during the Talking Bird intro you can see down the bottom "Client: Atlantic, Job # blah blah blah", like Atlantic sends MTV the artwork as soon as they've signed off on it, and MTV doesn't even bother to 'clean' it up.
