Thanks to Nick for finding this.

I am really looking forward to the album so it's great to hear a little bit of what will be on it.

To me Ed's on Soul Whispers sounds like it did way back. I think I will enjoy this album very much.

Gonna give a little play by play style review:

Drive: I actually like this less hearing the studio version which is a shame. The concert clip of it sounded like a decent song, it comes off too "paint by numbers" in this studio clip.

The Great Beyond:

Grace: Obviously nothing has changed from what I had heard till that clip. Still a decent song, his best choice for a lead off radio single.

Stand: Meh, it's a skippable track.

Drink: Better acoustic, but it's not my cup of tea in either form.

Zion: Nothing's changed, but it's still a quality track.

In Your Light: Probably his best choice as a second radio single, IMO, especially for adult AC. I would like to hear the full version.

Just in Time: No. This and TGB are just rancid. I want no part of either.

Rome: Now we're getting into some more interesting songs. Would like to hear the full version of this song.

Soul Whispers: This is the one song out of all the rest I can say with a certainty I'll snipe off of iTunes. Sounds great in the clip.

Fire on the Mountain: Better then most of the songs, but a weak closer. I'd have rather Soul Whispers been the closer, but it's hard to make that judgment without hearing the full version of either song.

Overall probably not a CD I'll purchase, depending on how the full tracks sound. I'm going to nab Soul Whispers for sure, though, and possibly grab Rome as well. FotM and IYL are potential grabbers too, but I'd need to hear them in full before I put down the $0.99.

In Your Light: Probably his best choice as a second radio single, IMO, especially for adult AC. I would like to hear the full version.

I agree, but I personally would put the song on the Christian Contemporary format ASAP.
