When you lay out the facts
16 second snippet; double looped
mono mix (not stereo)
mp3 VBR V2 (though this hardly factors in given the above)
it makes a lot of sense that the application for this clip is the website app playing through a shitty cell phone speaker.
And explains why the audio clip didn't impress me more on my real speakers than my laptop speakers.
Fun and I've got no complaints but.. now I'm gonna do my best to forget this exists and hope that the full song is released at 11pm Central Time next Monday.

It doesn't look good, to be honest.
Hitchhiker is awesome though!
Hitchhiker is very lazy writing, one of my least favorite songs ever.
And it's got that horrendous four-chord riff beaten to death by Nirvana on 99% of their material.
I’m getting a QOTSA vibe as well. That little chromatic riff at the end also has a bit of Sabbath swagger to it. Very catchy. Woke up with it in my head.
The 5 or so minutes from this album are already better than the entirety of BS and LB.
