Alright, so it's been announced that the 3rd FF album will be out in January '09.

I wasn't too excited about the news because I really hadn't played FF for a long long time. But then I heard there were samples up on their website from the new album, and WOW...they are amazing.

Check out "Trigger 8" in particular, but all the samples are good amazing.

this is a link to see them performing a new song at glastonbury.

I'm very excited about this album. They turn me on as much as a heterosexual guy can be turned on by a bunch of skinny Scottish guys with guitars. That Glastonbury clip is very catchy. I just hope that they continue to put out more adventurous songs like "Eleanor Put Your Boots Back On."

I really like FF. The last album may not have been as consistent as their debut, but it definitely had some of their best songs - "The Fallen", "Eleanor Put Your Boots Back On", and "Walk Away" are all incredible.

It sucks about the delay though.
