Official Bright Black Heaven Release Info/Opinion
http://www.brightblackheaven.com/
Well it seems we finally have the official info. I credit brightblackheaven.com for being the greatest Blaqk Audio site ever as well as the 2 geniuses who made this project Davey and Jade.
Anyway let me break down the tracklist (Number corresponds to actual track number)
Released studio versions:
Released tracks that have only been played live:
7. With Your Arms Around You
...Well this is grand. I'm glad we get to hear the studio versions of the live tracks, and I'm glad a good portion of the already released songs made it (except the inclusion of The Witness is annoying considering not only was it my least favorite of everything so far but it was already released) but 3 new songs (4 if you get the iTunes edition)...just 3? That's what I've been waiting for? I was hoping they would balance it with 6 new tracks 6 old tracks or something like that but this is kind of ridiculous considering how long I've been waiting. On the bright side, at least I know I'll love the majority of the album but the release will feel flawed simply cause there isn't enough new. Hopefully there will be a deluxe edition sometime. And if anything I'm glad my favorite 2 song titles (Deconstructing Gods and With Your Arms Around You) made it.
Also the artwork is God-awful. It's just too simple...I could have made it, you just need to copy and paste their logo and use their font...
I think I'll buy the iTunes version because I'm just not as appealed to buying the copy if it isn't a big release and I need all the new songs I can get. Well on the other bright side it is only 8 bucks digitally (probably only 10 for a physical copy) so it is a steal for 13 tracks.
Idk, I want to support this as best as I can but I feel a bit cheated. Oh well, the album comes out September 11th (fuck yeah, that's probably the best piece of news). I'm not sure how I'll buy it just yet, or if there will be a deluxe edition sometime in the future but either way I'll enjoy it on the day it comes out.
