Call it an intuition. The three songs released so far are so bad that nothing on that record could save it.

Of course that's me being extremely hypocritical. I apologize for jumping the gun. I never wish for an album to be bad. But I certainly do not have any high hopes for it.
In fairness, I'm an Asia fan and hated XXX so I had been very much dreading their next album (possibly their last now, with the passing of John Wetton) and to date have yet to listen to it. So I get where you're coming from.
