This is certainly the only way you can name something...anything....Lightning Bolt, and not come across as a potential jackoff.

Cool, I didn't realize that. I didn't know much Cohen stuff until I recently listened to his greatest hits. When I heard Suzanne, I immediately switched to Hope and asked my wife if they sounded the exact same.

Yep. There is zero excitement for this thing. Outside of maybe 10 people on this board and the pit....

I think that my excitement started to fade the moment I ordered it

Liar.

Your signature suggests the small amount of this album we've heard has had a profound positive and lasting effect on your life. Don't try and hide it.

You mean the way my signature clearly mocks a really shitty chorus?

Neither am I . I bet Eddie is still fixin.

At the very least I don't think the tracklist is done, or wasn't when they announced things.

There was an alternate tracklisting on early no code promo wasn't there? How long before the album was that released?

The cutting humour is just a mask for your true feelings. It's ok this is a safe place, you don't have to hide.

I'm genuinely excited for this album. MYM and Lightning Bolt are both great. Future days sucks, but the soundcheck song also sounds super promising.

i'm very excited, but somehow, possibly through my iron will, have avoided becoming a drooling lunatic two months out.

At the macaro level, though, it's all just ni and cheese.
