I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything, so I just wanted to start off with saying I hope all is well with everyone. Now as far as TIOP is concerned, I do have to say I was a little disappointed with Believe at first, but then I realized, as Aaron said, they are always under a lot of pressure to release that hit single. Now that the hit single has been released we can all focus on the rest of the album, which, again according to Aaron, has a lot of guitar solos in it. My heart jumped a freakin mile when I read that line. It's about time Mike gets to show the world what he is truly capable of.
I was hoping when Johnny K took on the role of producing the record that he would do with Mike the same thing he did with Dan Donegan of Disturbed, just make him realize how much talent he really does have and have him unleash it on the record, and that's what I'm looking forward to the most. lol Ok, I think I'm done babbling now..........August 19th!
P.S. Listening to Believe right now, and although it is that "hit single".....It still rocks!
Amen brother. Mike's solos are defenatly something I'm looking forward to.

You climbed mountains, forded streams, crossed oceans and prayed in mosques, temples and churches - followed gurus and teachers, studied in schools and universities, created businesses and enterprises, and stumbled, stood up and walked again until you came to realise that all that which you believe you have experienced in the span of a lifetime is incredibly compressed in this everlasting instant. All your life is happening right Now!

I got to hear Mike solo in soundcheck, and I have to say, he is probably the most amazing guitarist I've ever heard. He told me later that there are going to be many solos like that the record. If it's anything like what I heard, this album won't dissappoint.
