Actually looking at it, I'm 99% sure this tracklist is a fake. Brendan O'Brien has confirmed in Rolling Stone that Punch 'n' Judy WILL be on the album

Yeah, why would a band notoriously obsessed with control, running into the middle stages of a declining productivity but barely halfway through with their lives, jealously guard future remaster bonus tracks?

"Where's the sponge?" is not the worst track title on there. "Outta here" is as bad as it gets. Sounds like an Into the Wild b-side. I could say "please don't let this be the actual track list" but considering that Outta Here is the only title that I hate I would actually be OK with this.

Here's why I call it fake though. Apollo? Why would Stone name one of his digital EPs for Moonlander after a new PJ track? That doesn't sound legit to me.

And as much as I'd like to bitch slap lecherous I would gladly swap out Outta Here for Punch N' Judy any day. Of course, context means everything I guess. Johnny Guitar was the worst title ever... before it ended up being the best song on Backspacer.

What reason do we have to believe that this tracklist is any more real than the other fakes?

I think you can assume that this is true, yes.

I usually get a kick out of them, they are obvious fakes but fun to read and think about

You know the thing I hate most about them? I hate that we'll look back, and most of them will have been better than the actual tracklist.

That may be possible, but they are just names, they really don't effect the songs

Wait. Do I recognise 'Post Script' from another fake tracklist? This is on the front page. Does that mean we're assuming it isn't fake?
