WOO! I am so happy that Darren has done so well! Well done Darren and hope the top 10 continues!

I downloaded God is in the Room, and Ocean and i have to say they are amazing! Especially GIITR which has fantastic lyrics!

So the album''s leaked, except one track.

I''m only halfway through the first disc now but so far it''s very epic sounding (I can see why it''s been called his "magnum opus" in the press releases) and I love the way ''A Fear Of Falling Under'' segues into ''Who Would Have Thought?''

So far, ''A Fear Of Falling Under'' is my favourite - the frantic breathing effect at the beginning actually sets you on edge which is quite clever.

I love Conversation With God. That title leads you to think it''s going to be one thing when it''s another entirely. That song is very "taut".

Just at the end of the first disc now. ''''Bombs Up In My Face'''' was a bit... well, crap. I didn''''t like it, it got boring very quickly, although the line "same sex union - OOH!" did make me laugh. ''''Listen All You People'''' is quite good in a cheesy, call-to-arms way.

''''The Great Big Disconnect'''' has sleigh bells! SLEIGH BELLS! Special.

There''s a hint of ''Golden Brown'' to ''Neverland'' - anyone else hear it?

Do we need a spoiler thread for this? I have to say that Casey is one of the finest songs of the year. And a good example of how a double album allows for really long songs that can breathe properly. That one is a chill-inducing masterpeice. Disc 1 is pretty stunning as a whole. As Posh would say, MAJOR.

I''m so far pretty impressed with all this new stuff. I''ve heard some of the album tracks but not all. Bombs up in my face is like that old Savage Garden song All Around Me in that it''s so fucking cringeworthy and out there but you can''t help listening to it and loving it.

I also downloaded the version of Verge from his website with those two extra tracks, Ocean & God is in the Room. I wasn''t really taken with either of them though.

I promised myself I wouldn''t download it when it leaked. Took me 2 seconds to change my mind.

This album is awesone. There''s a couple of duff tracks (not keen on ''Waking the monster'' or ''Setting sun'') but the majority is brilliant! Definitely his strongest material yet. I think its easily his best album!

My favourites so far are ''Casey'', ''Sing to me'', ''The tuning of violins'', ''Words'' and ''Me myself and (I)''

Im only half way through the first disk and I must say the album is absolutely AMAZING! Casey has to be the most epic, heartfelt song ive heard in a very long time....love Fear Of Falling Under - in fact its all just fantastic!

Can completely see the epic sound the press release told us about - the songs truely belong on stage, in film etc...they are just so dramatic!

I hope he does go ahead with the DVD version of the album - he hasn''t mentioned it in his blogs or anything for ages now.

I love how there''s loads going on in the songs so you notice something different every time. It''s a really rich-sounding album.

I''ve only heard about ten tracks so far, but he''d be insane not to release Sing To Me as a single. Very radio friendly but still quirky. I say this as someone who has never liked his ballads in or out of Savage Garden.

With a 25 track album, its even harder to have consistent favourites, but my God is this something special!

DH hasn`t put a foot wrong for me ever, but Delicate is simply a masterpiece.
Sing to me,
All you People,
Tuning Violins,
Lions Heart,
Lucky Town...

Theres no point in naming favourites, it really is an amazing CD. If you haven`t heard it yet, you`ve a wonderful treat in store.
Back off to me stall....STACEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay, I have fallen into hardcore teenage obsession with this album. I need to be removed from my ipod via an intervention.

I have to say I think its pretty sad that nobody has bothered letting the fanclub know the album has been leaked. I would ask anyone with details of where its been posted to let them know out of respect for Darren.
