Guess it deserves a whole new topic!

We can start by discussing the name. Any ideas? Images popping into your head? Interpretations?

And of course, this is a good time to start the day countdown... :)

I think that is great name they got. And im glad it wasn't another "something of something"-name.
Though theres nothing wrong in those names but im still glad ^^

When i heard that name first thing i thought was that Casino like roulette table with psychedelic colours:D

The funny thing is that the word "Revolution" quite often came to my mind when I thought about the title of the new album.

"Weary-eyed Revolution"

"Revolution of the blinded (man)"

I think "Revolution Roulette" sounds really cool, although I can't find a sense in it (yet). I hope they didn't choose this title just because of the aliteration.

Can't wait! 26th March!

Just like I said on "The Ultimate Fling" thread; I wonder if other songs than just The Ultimate Fling will have some luck/gambling connected lyrics (like The Ultimate Fling has the "Ask yourself just how lucky do you feel")

I also wonder if the album cover is going to have any red on it... roulette just forces me to think of red... weird me <_<

54 days and some hours left and counting.. \o/ (might have counted wrong but anwway, 26th day March!)

For me, first thing that comes to mind from the title is that something new and different is to be expected overall.

I guess it's difficult to say what the title actually means before knowing what the songs are about, but it kind of reminds me of life and some particular aspects of it.
Roulette is a game of luck and so is life in a way too. There are rules that you're supposed to play by, and that is what you do first, because you think that's the right thing to do or that is what is expected of you. But then it doesn't feel right after all, so you make a change and break out from that. You play by your own rules. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but that's how life is.
Don't know if this makes any sense, but that's the first things that comes to mind. :)

Oh, and 53 days left. :D

It`s sound to me like it`s a whole new plan now-Roulette reminds of change and twist and Revolution means like....dramatic change...in musical aspect may be.As for the cover-a gun put on a spinning casino roulette, but knowing POTF, I think the cover won`t be related with the title, at least not so obviously.

The first thing that came to my mind when reading the title was
revolution - counter revolution - counter counter revolution ...
One after the other, going around and around but not getting anywhere.

I won't even waste one single thought on how the new album cover will look like, since POTF proved us several times all wrong!
I will wait for the day it will blow me away. Those 3 guys are just so out of normal. :)

Woooo! I love the name! I can't wait!

I got the image of Russian Roulette. Maybe a gun with each of the barrels representing something different. A revolution can be so many things.

http://www.nokiatrendslab.fi/press/ Probably these pics. :)

And I love the new album title! I have to say I was a bit worried about the new album before, but now after hearing the first single and seeing the album name I'm 100% sure that Revolution Roulette will be awesome! :D

The title of the album is just great. I'm sure the album will be totally new fresh POTF but still the old one too (obviously). Can't wait for the single either, I wanna hear that acoustic version of The song. I was also in Ankkarock, so it's nice to hear Fire.

I like those new promopics (?) too. Particularly the blackwhite pic. Fits so perfectly to the albums "theme". :)

Jariq, what an awesome find! The promo pics are brilliant, especially the colour version! I have to speculate, obviously... well, it seems that they may be the official promo pics, as they were taken with EOS 400D and it was used to create the COR promos, so... :wink:

I think I have a beautiful new wallpaper! :D

You think they only dig up the camera for promo pics? *oh it's POTF promo pictures time, let's open our POTF treasure box with our 2 secret POTF keys, only 2 people in the world have*

Silly! :P

The title makes me remember of Casino Royale and how much potf and the new 007 would work together.
The new bond title is confusing and this title here makes about as much sense :)
