and Getaway and Let the Records Play
i meant the actual same symbol, not just the lightning bolt.

As long as he's more involved in the writing, it's all plain sailing from here. But he more or less co-directed the video, as well as bringing his punk knowledge to MYM, so there's hope.

Is anyone going to decode the sentence at the bottom?

I said something about this a few pages back. My guess is the realization (the LB) that love (the couple) holds the key (lock/key) to freeing us from our own self destructive nature (the forbidden knowledge with the snake militarized in the form of a bomb)

Presumably they'll play this out over the course of the record

:throwup:

Random bullshit speculations:

I wanted my fathers son to be a dark of he goes kinda thing, i dont know if it will be coming after MYM And before sirens, which the more i look at the artwork, the more i think its going to be about transmitting your love across the universe or someshit.

Based on pictures/titles alone Infallible/pendulum/swallowed whole run could be badass, then again the LB art is also cool and well, look how that turned out.

SBM, yellow moon and FD could be a nice sleepy mellow ending, Knowing what FD sounds like does ruin it for me though, unless all the music we couldnt hear on the live on is awesome.

Let the records play looks like its in a really weird place, i predict it will either be a racous rawker ala MYM or it will literally be that album static we heard on the vine, all 2 seconds of it.

Love is the key to open up ones eyes to the fact that snakes and cannon balls are hot shit fire.

I'm really hoping for this, and if it's not, I wonder why we got that sound at all.

I have feeling this album is going to start off like No Code. The first four feel like the early run of No Code. I hope anyhow

Based on what? MYM?

People. Save yourselves te grief and quit mentioning No Code just because the images are tiled. Think Backspacer.

i have no thoughts whatsoever about what any of these songs are going to sound like other than the three we've heard. One of these songs damn well better feature that awesome music from the tour vid, though
