    Has Slezak weighed in on FYE? (or his mom, LOL). I haven’t seen a review of his.

    He’s been in pure misery locked up in corporate conference jail most of last week, finally finishing around 11 AM today, according to his tweets. I’m guessing we’ll see something in the next couple days.

    soverymel – Thanks! I am very curious what he thinks.

    Just ordered the Special Edition of FYE, downloaded the single FYE from http://www.adamofficial.com, and for those that mentioned earlier that they opened and then heard the song but couldn’t find it on itunes, I had the same thing, it didn’t show up on my purchased list, controled freakin’ then I found it on the (Playlists: Newly added) it was there with the MV for TMF, AO says Not to open, but click save and put it some where on your computer – but, if your wanting it on itunes, it worked fine using Open, I was worried for a moment, but been listening nonstop, totally loving it! can’t wait for the Photo Book, and Down the Rabbit Hole – bonus track!

    What’s cool is that an hour after the AMA’s, Adam’s album goes on sale, Woohoo!!! Great timing!

    So exciting, it is. I wonder if we will be able to hear snippets of the tracks on amazon eventually? Guess I will have to keep checking and hoping.

    OMG I CANT BELIEVE THEY ARE FINALLY UP!!!!!!!!!!! Wow and i had to do an “older entries” search to happily stumble on this, this a.m.!!! Soaked, strut, if I had you, FYE obviously…seem like hits for sure.. I cant stop listening to them. AHHH!!

  • SexyEvey

    His CD sounds like it was almost totally designed for club play though… he threw us a bone with soaked, broken open, and TFM… what do u guys think?

  • sma11ie

    Wow, I really like most of the snippets! I’m not a fan of Adam’s voice most of the time, but this is the exact type of dance/pop that I enjoy. I like the Lady Gaga/Pink vibe of some of the songs.

    So, hilariously, I listened to Sleepwalker without reading the track listing above, and thought instantly that this must be the Ryan Tedder song. Oh, Tedder is such a hack, LOL! But man, good job overall, RCA for picking fun songs!

    he threw us a bone with soaked, broken open, and TFM

    I liked those least. And Soaked is pretty but probably one of my least favorites. I preferred the Muse demo, and I generally don’t like Adam’s voice on ballads. I’m an example of someone who only liked Adam some times on Idol, so if this album appeals to me, I’d say they’re aiming to expand Adam’s audience to non-Idol fans. Yeah, I might end up getting at least a couple of singles on this album.

    So, what does everything think of the Weezer song?
