If it's good, yes. If it isn't, then no.

It looks to be a mix of Binaural, Riot Act, Yield and Backspacer.

How can one bring us Cold Concession, Let It Ride, and potentially Sirens...and not know what MVP is? I'm assuming you're not American (or Canadian).

But well-fucking-done! (potentially)

Woah. "A MVP" or "An MVP"? I know it's an M, but it feels so right to say "an".

This will haunt my inner grammarazi forever.

An. Generally, with acronyms, the a/and rule obeys how the word "sounds", not how it "looks". So if the abbreviation starts with a vowel-sounding letter, you should use "an". If it starts with a consonant-sounding letter, use an "a". Examples: "an HIV patient", "a BBC documentary".

Agreed.
i feel like when referring to letters (both vowels & consonants), it sounds better to use "an."

yeah, jorge got it.

Apparently Tuesday 10th is when the next PJ newsletter gets sent out. News of the new single? The new single itself? Maybe. Someone on the Pit has said 'Tuesdays gonna be great for everybody.' Direct quote, horrible grammar intact.
