Wow. After listening to these three tracks in full (finally!), I'm convinced "Afterglow" will undoubtedly top BCC's last two installments. Once the accolades for the new album start pouring in, I hope all those involved in the BCC camp will be reminded of how special the music is that they continuously churn out

I really had not seen this before here. But that's okay. I loved the songs ... "Afterglow" is really epic, loved, reminds me a little progressive rock. "Cry freedom" is a great blues rock, the guitar work is amazing. Glenn and Joe singing together are fantastic too. A place worth so little on this album. Even seem to not have any music where the only Joe sings, but okay. "Midnight Sun" is also amazing, the whole band is the highlight here, the bass Glenn found this great music. Really very anxious for this album. Surely the band made another classic ... now are 3!!

Does that apply to all pre-orders or just to ones that were made for bcc.com?

Got my copy the other day - preorder from BCC store
LOVE IT!!!! Still getting used to it but really enjoy it.
Totally bummed no lyrics this time uggggggghhh
Small consolation though

And in the proper charts?

Quote from David

Huh Anyway, "proper" charts aren't issued until later next week...

Yes, the general national chart

As for retailer websites, I seem to remember BCC 2 being in the top 5 or even the top 3 over at Play.com and Amazon.co.uk when that was released. Afterglow is in around the 30 spot now on both sites, while it's at #4 on Amazon.de.

Will be interesting to see how sales figures for the new album compare to the 2 previous albums.

This is sailing up as my favorite of the 3 BCC releases. A deeper album somehow, more adventurous and loose. Big on atmosphere. It feels like a GH solo album in many ways, but with BCC adding their, by now, established sound (with Derek now up in the mix too!). This is a good thing.

Favorite songs? Big Train, Midnight Sun, Afterglow, Dandelion, The Circle (check out Glenn's performance), Common Man and The Giver. The album is definitely a grower and it may take 4-5 spins before it clicks. But when it does, I think you're going to like it a lot. I do

Quote from David

So far... No. 1 in the UK Amazon.co.uk Hard Rock & Metal chart today! And a very respectable No. 12 in the USA Amazon.com Rock chart!

So far...No. 3 in Germany in the Rock Charts today on amazon.de!
And - this is really amazing - all 13 customers reviewing up to now were giving 5 stars and no less! All of them! I've never noticed anything like that before with another album...wow...

And another one (I think Stormbringer will like this):

So far...No. 1 in France in the Hard Rock & Metal charts today on amazon.fr! Only one customer review yet but that has also 5 stars!
