The Fragile Army, Mashed

It's been a tough to keep up with just how many of our favorite bands were dropping new material in '07, and Tim DeLaughter's solution is one to grab even the most ADD-addled blogger: ditch the rainbow robes, don the black parade fatigues, and tease the forthcoming record in a coherent, seamless mashup. This track comprises bits from all eleven cuts from The Fragile Army, perfect for the Ritalin set, still enough to whet you Spree fiends' appetites for a few weeks. We even get a little promo pitch from Tim in the coda.

The Polyphonic Spree - "Fragile Army Mashup" (MP3)

Wow. Yes, we just got a whole lot more excited, too. The Fragile Army is out 6/19 on TVT. Sucks to have to wait 'til June, but that gives you plenty of time to cop the new Polyphonic threads.

why do they pick the worst record labels.

Hollywood? Out of business before the record came out.

TVT? They haven't put out anything even close to worthwhile since that GBV Record.

...wtf Tim?

Yes! I noticed the Hey Jude tribute in there somewhere. Also, some Pink Floyd. And Queen. The song rocks, though, even if they are sort of "copycats" in a way. But the mashup is almost good enough to be a song in its own right - a lot of variety, I'll give it that.

I've been looking forward to this for about 2.5 years now, and the mashup only has me more excited.

They've been certainly taking their royal time getting it released..

I thought it was sweet! Nice to hear something new from the band!

Some of those songs can be heard in full in the bootlegs on their forum.

The album is incredible. The mashup is only the tip of the iceberg.
