Are you trying to wave off criticism of the band's recent production?
;)

There's plenty to criticise about the band lately, but self-referencing is on the bottom of my list. As long as they don't do it badly, it's fine.

You're too smart to not figure that one out. Using an old song title and renaming it. Just another stupid joke of mine in a long line of bad ones.

I answered my own question.

This book excerpt is from 'Let the Records Show'.

Exactly. This, or release it as a holiday single or some promotional shit.

That would be a ridiculously long album. Riot Act is 54 minutes. And, that's a bit of a slog to listen to straight through.

I think anything "ridiculously quick" produced by Brendan O'Brien is going to be terrible.
