According to Tunelab Music, Hurt's third album is completed and set for release in February or March of next year and the first single will be put out in January. The band was dropped from Capitol this past year and has now worked out a new deal between their management at Amusement and A2M for distribution.
I'm extremely glad for this. Hurt is one of the better hard rock bands in the past few years and it's good to see them keep chugging along rather than giving up the ghost. Volume 2 was extremely underrated as an album, and if you don't believe me, listen to "Alone With The Sea", "Talking To God", "Better", or "Summers Lost". Really fantastic band.
No word on if this album will be called Volume 3.

I hope this song is more like "Rapture" and less like "Ten Ton Brick".

I'm quite content with it being like either. However, I'd be happy if they showcased some of their progressive tendencies that pervade their albums, but have yet to be featured in their radio singles. "Rapture" was the closest they've come to that, but considering it had to be cut down in length for radio, it sorta lost its feel as a magnum opus that it has in the context of the record.

Looks like it's going to be "Wars" as the first single off of the album with "Fighting Tao" scheduled to be next according to the Hurt forums.
Both songs debuted intermittently on Hurt's Myspace page.

Yeah, the album is called Goodbye To The Machine. Interesting stuff. I'm sad I missed the streams of those songs, but can't wait for the album.

I did get to catch "Fighting Tao", but didn't really get to hear it too loud as I was fighting the noise of a New Year's party.

"Wars" goes for adds on February 2nd. I don't think I'm more excited for any other album this year, except for Our Lady Peace.

What about U2, Three Days Grace, and Green Day? No, sorry, looking forward to Hurt more. Even more than U2. You don't understand the place this band has now in my heart.

For me, this album is 2nd only to Red as most anticipated.
On top of this song, there's "Fighting Tao" and a song called "World Ain't Right" which features a duet with Shaun Morgan of Seether.

wow :o I thought Ten Ton Brick was alright, but extremely overrated, and I havent cared for any of their other singles. This year my top 5 would have to be
1. Our Lady Peace 2. Three Days Grace 3. Green Day 4. Breaking Benjamin 5. U2

That's where you're missing the beauty of Hurt. Their singles aren't extraordinary, but their albums as collective pieces are just beautiful. Vol. I, Vol. II and The Consummation (which features older recordings of songs from the major two albums).
By listening to only the singles, you're missing out on Danse Russe, House Carpenter, Better, and Summer's Lost. I really wish they did better than what they did with those two major label albums, but as long as they're still putting out music, I could care less.

Alone With The Sea might just be the most beautiful song I've ever heard by anybody, ever. The fact that it's followed by a trio like Talking To God, Loded, and Better is just a bonus. But my favorite Hurt song will always be Shallow from the first album. Just sums up my whole train of thought, really.

Heard "Wars" on the radio this morning. It's a slow-burning, moody song that's still pretty loud.
Not really sold on it after one listen, but that doesn't mean it won't grow on me over time.
I probably oughta make the time to listen to all the songs you guys have listed in this topic, if their radio singles do that much of a disservice to the full spectrum of their music.

They now have a snippet of "Wars" up on their myspace. From the 50 second clip, I'm digging it so far.

I made a radio rip if anyone's interested in tiding themselves over.

Yes please. I didn't know you were into Hurt enough to do that, but that'd be awesome to have. You still have my email address from the Just Jack - Snowflakes days?

I didn't know you were into Hurt enough to do that. I wouldn't be, but I didn't think it was supposed to be out this early and I didn't see any of you guys talking about having heard it yet. So since I always record my station's morning show while I'm asleep (mostly because I have an evening job) to play it back once I wake up (and slice through ads and songs I don't need to hear), I kept that part just in case somebody wanted it. You still have my email address from the Just Jack - Snowflakes days? I can't remember which email I had you send it to, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have held onto that once I downloaded the mp3. Email me if you still have mine, or PM me yours.

This album is really awesome. It's not as immediate as the previous albums, but it's still really great. I think either "Pills" and "Fighting Tao" should be a single at some point, although I imagine they'll go for the Seether cameo cash-in with "World Ain't Right", which is also a great choice.

I think "World Ain't Right" should be a single immediately. Second best album I've heard so far this year.

This album sounds like it fits perfectly with some of the classic grunge albums of the past. I think it has something to do with the way it was recorded. If that's the sound they were going for, they certainly nailed it.
