There are now only 25 days left until the band's first full album of new music since 2015 is released.

Two singles and one promo video have been released so far.

Kick was issued the same day as the new album announcement in March.

Take What You Want was then released as single number two on 20th April.


Song Credits

The full songwriting credits for all 15 tracks have now been revealed.

As noted in new reviews, Joe Elliott and Phil Collen have written most of the songs with five co-written songs included.

Rick Savage has written the closing track which is described as a Pink Floyd type epic.

Three of the songs are credited to Joe only including the two piano-written songs that feature Mike Garson.

The ballad 'Liquid Dust' is one of two Phil Collen only songs alongside 'U Rok Mi'.

Three Phil Collen tracks also feature co-writing credits for Dave Bassett, Sam Hollander and C. J. Vanston.

C. J. Vanston previously co-wrote 'It's All ABout Believin''.

Vivian has no writing credit on the album.

The song lengths, although not listed on most retail sites, were revealed on 17th March by iTunes.
