They previewed everything on tour last fall, so many people have already heard it all in one form. Album release is slated for a mid to late April release right now (not sure if a date is confirmed yet). One of the cool things they do is a 5.1 version of all their albums, and the word is that the initial release will contain both the stereo and 5.1 versions. They have been pretty good about keeping their website updated with info and soundclips for previous releases, so I suspect we’ll hear some clips soon.

As for the album cover itself, I think it works well with what I remember of the content from the live show. It may not seem impressive next to their previous covers (In Absentia being one of the all time great album covers IMHO), but I think it will eventually work well.
