I like the sound of Live, Brilliant, Hello, Lie, Satellite and Contact the best. I'm not so sure about the first bit on the clip of Rise, I'm curious to hear the song right from the beginning.
From what I've heard now, I'm not really into "One" and "Fall". Oh well, even if some of the songs would not happen to grow on me...there are more songs on this album than on any previous Ultravox album, so I guess the absolute number of (in my opinion) great tracks stays just the same

Call me strange, but I really love One. The melody is simply beautiful.

When I heard single "Brilliant" I was full of doubts, it's not a bad song no it's really catchy but personally for me it's too easy to listen, there is some lack of drama. I was afraid that whole album might sound like that but no winning What I feel after listening those sound clips; It sounds very promising, interesting and varied. Obviously the lads don't want copy their previous big albums that's all right for me.
Here's my short summary (I couldn't resist :))
Live - Big opening! Yes they live, we live again, my heart grow and beat hard again!
Flow - Let it flow forever...
Brilliant - Ear catcher, good choice for single, it,s definitely addressed for wide audience
Change - It's really sounds a bit like "Fade to grey", great link between old and present days
Rise - I love that they done something like that. It adds extra sparkle and lots of variety to whole album.
Remembering - very atmospheric, I think it will be one of my favourites.
Hello - This track could be on "Lament". It sounds pure-ish Ultravox. Another perfect link to old albums.
One - Good that track like that is in album. Gives deep and variety to the whole.
Fall - I love that Ultravox can still suprise me. I'd like to see that track as sick, creepy and dodgy as possible. Add some dark tones. I would be mesmerised!
Lie - Yeah! That's another great track for single.
Sattellite - Dynamic and energetic, very promising.
Contact - Midge could be right, this is probably the most beautiful track in whole album. Perfect finish! I wish it would never end...

These previews have just made the next 18 days really difficult waiting!

My favourite clips so far are Live, Flow, Hello and Lie, Rise and Brilliant also sound great.

Change definitely has shades of 'Fades to Grey'

Hello reminds me a bit of 'Cut and Run'

Agree with all the comments that Lie would make a brilliant single!

All in all, this album is incredibly promising! thumbs

Its difficult to judge an album on 30 sec clips, but what I can hear I absolutely love. There is certainly a rockier edge to the album, apart from Rise which will just become annoyingly catchy ! Its already stuck in my head and it simply wont go away laugh

I think the chaps have shown that 28 years apart has really fuelled their desire to make a comeback album of epic proportions, and I cant wait to hear the tracks live. I've booked 28th May off work, house to myself, feet up, brew, album. Takes me back to my youth !

Ok,here's my tuppence worth.Hearing the snippets I can definitely say I can't wait to get hold of the album,It's fresh,but hasn't forgotten the "Ultravox" sound,this really sounds to me like a "Back with a Bang" type album,I can safely say that there are several options for singles after the release of "Brilliant" and I don't want to sound like I'm ungrateful or anything but I feel the lads aren't done there yet,I think this is the start of something maybe later down the line,a follow up album to Brilliant wouldn't surprise me,I do believe there's more to come in the very near future from messrs Cann/Currie/Ure and Cross. I've said it before and will say it again,,fantastic work lads,you certainly have returned,welcome back and thanks! thumbs yahoo winning mexican

[quote=Zäta]I would also like to thank Cerise and everyone else that has helped keeping the ultravox flame burning for all these years - so that this miracle could happen.

From these clips I can absolutely tell that I am going to love this album, and it may even have it's place among the other four masterpieces.

I agree wholeheartedly!
