Everything up to and including the S/T album is, at the very least, pretty good; subtly interesting guitar arrangements, unexpected vocal melodies, etc. All of that disappeared almost overnight and now it’s as though no idea is too dumb, nothing is too on the nose. An exclusive diet of low-hanging fruit. I expect little more from Ed or Mike but are Stone, Jeff and Matt genuinely proud of this garbage? Or is it just like punching a time card at this point? Is it all Brendan’s malignant influence, nixing anything remotely interesting or challenging because that won’t play well on TV sports advert transitions or whatever?

I’m stumped, I really am.

Wow. Cliche word salad bingo there spenno.
OK?

yes we all know dime has exclusive rights to use of the word ‘malignant’ on this board ;)

ugh. I do get tired of these types of interviews and responses. Like they're going to say it's a fresh pile of cow dung that was pressed into a circle.
Oh FFS. This is twice. IN THIS THREAD.

AMAZING.

You know how I said there was I couple of tracks I didn't quite connect with yet?

Forget I said that, this album is spectacularly brilliant.

If Backspacer was a woman, I'd want to be a polygamist.

I have NO criticism. None.

one of my best buds found an embarrassing post i made on a message board once, and finds it necessary to randomly text it to me, email it to me, call and leave a voicemail reciting it, and even printing it out and mailing it to me.

i feel for you, spenno.
