The ensuing album, 2007's †, was equally huge, but it also brought up a conundrum: How do you follow up something so unabashedly big? Four years later, we finally found out with Audio, Video, Disco-- due October 25 on Ed Banger/Because/Elektra-- an album that filters 1970s arena rock and prog through Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay's sledgehammering electro style. From "Parade", which nicks Queen's "We Will Rock You" hand-clap beat, to the Eagles-y loop and harmonies that run through "Ohio", to the prog-like "Canon", which recalls the swirling solos of Yes, the record plays like an animatronic amalgam of every band that caused people to raise their fists in the 70s. The album also features guest vocals from Diamond Nights' Morgan Phalen, Vincenzi Vendetta of Midnight Juggernauts, and UK singer Ali Love on first single "Civilization".

Thanks for updating the thread Michael, and I can't listen to the preview. I guess it's only available in the UK.
BUT, that made me go search for it on Youtube and apparantly 5 full tracks already leaked about a month ago.
