Mind Your Manners = The Fixer (first single)

Future Days = Just Breathe (second single)

Lightning Bolt = Amongst the Waves (third single)

I'll believe the LB tracklist when I see it in my hand, until then, they're all fake.
Apart from MYM not sounding like the fixer, that works depressingly well.

I bet Infallible is stone.

yeah that feels all to plausible and a bit underwhelming if it's true.
I do have higher hopes for a song called Infallible in the 9th spot. Could be the Grievance of the record.

What do we think of my 'They came back after the break and Ed fixered this album to the point that not even BoB is happy' conspiracy theory?

ugh. Most dishearting quote about this album so far.
Yeah i think it beats Jeff- 'I got no clue i haven't listened to those songs in a year' and Stone - going from 'I think it's gonna alienate people' to ' it sounds like pearl jam'

"We're Outta Here" is their blunt hint that this is the last album.
i thought 'parting ways' was supposed to be that hint.

"I think it's gonna alienate people, like No Code did." That's the single most depressing quote we have about the new album that never happened. Why do they always do this?

Maybe it'll drive all of you Binaural and Riot Act fans back underground where you belong.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
