Believe it! Song lengths are listed on the Amazon sample page. Two of the songs are "intro" pieces under one minute...... As someone else put it, the sad part is that these 35 minutes will be better than the last TWENTY YEARS put together.

You know what though? I'd rather have a better album than one with a bunch of filler on it. However, having two intro tracks is pretty lame.
Wow! It didn't occur to me that the song lengths would be up on Amazon already. I'm surprised that the album is so short. However, like Simon, I would rather have a half hour of power than 70 minutes of filler.

I hope he gets sued for that. What a prick. What if someone is checking their texts or emails because they were expecting to hear from a family member, employee, boss, classmate, etc? The world doesn't revolve around rock & roll.
I was a huge, huge, huge Queensryche fan when I was in high school. For me, Operation: mindcrime was great metal that required more than half a brain to appreciate, and being front row for the Empire tour twice in 1991 still ranks as the top concert experiences in my life. I - and other friends of mine who were fans - always admired Geoff for being intelligent and making use of it in creative ways that inspired me and made me happy. Was he kinda elitist and arrogant? Sure, but a. he was a frontman; it kinda went with the territory, and b. I as a fan never had to deal with the negative side. I was so disappointed when DeGarmo left, particularly when the following albums sucked. I saw them tour with Dream Theater and Fates Warning, which would have been the pinnacle of fangirly awesomeness ten years earlier, and I was bored senseless by them. My inner 16 yr old - who once watched GT crawl across risers while snarling into a microphone - was aghast at the sight of them ... just phoning in the whole performance. And the cabaret show? The horror, the horror.
But I had no idea, until reading Michael Wilton's deposition, how bad it really had been. And I was crushed to see how someone I had admired that much as a teenager had fallen so far. Everyone else seems to find a great deal of joy in mocking GT, but for me it kinda hurts a little and I don't want to watch the videos of him acting like a big fucking shitbird, and hear about how he's really always been kind of a shitbird. It's just not funny to me at all, and he really needs to shut the fuck up, get back on his boat, and stop making such an utter embarrassment out of himself and everything he ever was in the past.

People should bring in an extra cell phone to his shows (like one of those old 1990s motorola ones that are heavy as shit) so people can knock the seven circles of hell out of Tate. He's such a douchebag, I officially hate him.

Here you go man. I didn't include it or rather deleted it because one of the past posts did I thought:

We can safely say that the way Tate handled it was scummy to say the least. That said, The guy had the phone right in his face taking the video. So, I can understand why Tate did it. The guy should be happy that he was not bounced from the venue. If I understand the rules correctly, if he had done that at a certain festival, his ass would have been tossed.

If someone did that to my phone, they'd get a kick in the face. If the rules are no filming, then he should have security escort the guy out.
But no, Tate is a douchebag. He has to do what douchebags do. And people who "agree" with how he reacted are... douchebags.

I thought you had a ban on videotaping? Because that is what that guy was apparently doing.

To make matters worse, Mr. Taint just blew off an interviewer when confronted about all of the recent matters, especially the phone incident. Next thing you know, he'll be spotted hanging out with Amanda Bynes discussing their future plastic surgery plans!
