well, in fairness, it can’t get much worse.

but yes, I agree. Hell, that intro music alone would be the best thing on LB.

We always feel a new album will be better than the last, don't we?
Agreed, but I didn’t get the same feeling before LB came out. If this has Jeff and Matt’s fingerprints on it I’m confident it’ll be great. And if they added some nice touches to River Cross...even better.

Well played lads. And our new pals. Hang around.
dime just tell us if we should prepare to be disappointed or what

Ok.
I’ve heard five songs.
I’ll hear more this Thursday.

This album is going to do exactly what we expect.

50% of rm is going to say it’s the best thing ever.

157398939394% will hate it regardless and shit post about it for the next decade or so.

It was ever thus. So it will ever and always be.

a compendium of good signs (to my mind):

- album art
- that intro music
- NO CAN'T DENY ME
- NO BOB
- dance of the clairvoyants song title (doesn't sound like pj)
- dance of the clairvoyants bill simmons clip (doesn't sound like pj)
- river cross on the album
- tracklisting song titles don't sound like warmed over garbage.
- descriptions of "new wave" and "talking heads vibe" and "not a lot of 3-minute rockers."
- mike's quote about the process being difficult and confusing but ultimately rewarding (i paraphrase).

add all of it up and you get something akin to sgt. pepper's crossed with dark side of the moon.

this is not encouraging news. should we recalibrate?

Talking Heads: I like
ItaloDisco: I like
Acid Jazz: I like
Pearl Jam: I like
Dildo in the Ass: I like

seems like this is all lined up for a ‘W’

unless I am missing something

If this were true, you'd be a good guy and get some kind of evidence. Even a snippet of something we haven't heard. Instead, it's all bullshit.

Dime and Lecherouslittlestump channelling the same groove.

Do you expect you'll fall into the 157398939394%, or the 50%?

I cannot disagree with this. That made me very happy.
