ACAS good or bad?
I have read all posts on here and some people have been able to listen to ACAS before it is offically released, how they have, i am not bothered really, but some on here after anticipating a new album for so long are moaning at ACAS, let those who are waiting untul it is released have the time to listen before making their mind up.
Anything I say or write is my own personal opinion, no matter who agrees or disagrees with me.

Why are you so volatile when people are just stating an opinion? If it was your new album and you had written the songs i would appreciate why you are being so hostile, but all we're doing is stating our views. At no point has anyone questioned Alice's integrity or character, we're simply criticising the album. It's not the end of the world, we already have a fantastic back catalogue of albums, and one poor record isn't going to change the fact that Alice is my ultimate influence and icon.NotSoPerfect wrote:Because the whole thing sucks so much...yes, we know.
With regards to Salvation, in my opinion it's the least successful song on the album, the chorus is just very unconvincing and is lyrically redundant.
I'd say my favourite song on the album is 'Wake The Dead' which by all means is a strong which is slightly let down by the repetition of 'Run For Your Life' which from a musical point of view sounds unnecessary, i can only assume this line was added for narrative purposes.

I don't see it that way at all, a serial killer questioning his modus operandi, wondering if there could be salvation through Jesus Christ
What if I'm wrong,
I've been deceived all along
What if I'm wrong
What have I done
Did I waste a life just for fun
What have I done
What did I do
I did what voices told me to
What did I do
Where will I go
Will I sink through fire down below
Where will I go
Any chance of salvation
Any chance for me
Any chance of salvation for eternity
Any chance of salvation
Someone died for me
Washed in blood he cared enough to pity me
Why do I care
What's wrong with me, my hate is gone
Why do I care
When did I change
What's different now, it's very strange
When did I change
Any chance of salvation
Any chance for me
Any chance of salvation for eternity
Any chance of salvation
Someone died for me
Washed in blood he cared enough to pity me
In my heart
In my soul
Something's new, that's very old
Like a pain that's finally gone
I feel my heavy burden lifted
Any chance of salvation
Any chance for me
Any chance of salvation
Any chance of salvation
Any chance for me
Any chance of salvation for eternity
Any chance of salvation
Any chance for me
Any chance of salvation for eternity
Any chance of salvation
Any chance for me
Any chance of salvation for eternity

Salvation is a good tune , the coop sings this one with conviction . Exellent arrangement , plus the strings / synth and backing vocals are very nice .
This along with i am the spider are my two favs , and i gotta say much of the album is growing on me .
All this from someone that love's special forces , so take my views with a grain of salt if you hate special forces .

You know, Kev: you should look forward to the release and don't let any of this stuff bother you. This is all a classic case of "haves vs. have nots": those who have heard it, and those who have not. Then that all breaks down into subgroups too: those who have and don't like it very verbally and loudly, then those who don't say anything, then those who have and break it down into technicalities and riffs, and guitar and drums and lyrics and on and on... then those who have and like it..etc..etc..etc.....then those who haven't heard it and get conflicting information and it's just a publicity free for all...Alice fans are just so diversified it's impossible to name all the subgroup possibilities..
It's all a matter of opinion, Kev..just look forward to the release and enjoy it when you get it...
Nothin' else matters.

I am looking forward to the release of ACAS, not letting people who don't like the album put me off, like a film, a reviewers write up is what he/she see and only that, but my point is that after 3 years since DD was released, there are many who are just too negative, well, their choice, i know i will enjoy ACAS.

Its kind of funny...while everyone has their opinion...it begs the question when did all these people become producers? Have they any experience recording or even playing an instrument?
Don't get me wrong...its ok not to like everything that Alice does...but if people are going to be so negative about the album I'd like to hear specifics.
