Sequencing my album (song order) today; i think it was harder than writing some of the songs! some people say the album is dead, but I still think of albums like a did as a kid..take me people on a trip thru approx. 12 songs..peaks, valleys, segues, climaxes.

I'm really curious to find out which songs that appear on Ed's upcoming album, were intentionally meant for Live's new (never released) album??

Because I read an extensive interview with Ed (held right after NotP), translated to Dutch in the last Fanclub Dutch Magazine, which was interesting to read. He's talking about in which studio he wants to record Live's new album (he wanted Santa Barbara, but he says he must talk bout it with the other guys), that he has written a whole bunch of new songs already (!), half of them Forever-ish, half of them Purifier-ish. also interesting, is how Ed explains how amazing it is how their songs get created. He writes them on acoustic guitar, but after that the other guys put sooo much input in them, for example CG coming with a great idea, etc. He was especially talking about Forever, if I remember correctly.

Anyway, I guess you all read the original interview in English a while ago on this site
