The first two parts of the band's epic Alchemy Index, Fire and Water will be in stores on next Tuesday, October 16th, which still feels like a long time to wait. [Not as long as the wait for the other half of it, not due until Spring 2008, but still...] Anyway, the band has chosen to post an album sampler, rather than a full stream, online this afternoon. Good stuff.

 

You can check it out here.

 

This may well be one of the most anticipated albums of the year... and the October wars are really heating up.  Who will win? Thrice, Say Anything, or Coheed and Cambria?  Concept album-o-rama is about to begin: are you ready?
