I don't know about rankings, but there's nothing here that I don't want added to my lexicon. Nothing just flat out sucks.

I hate to be another sleazy first-time poster/long-time lurker asking for a link, but it would mean a lot to hear this album now. It's a tough world out there, hope everyone is taking care of themselves.

Edit: Got it, thanks guys, this board is the best!

Ed is on a roll the second half of Who Ever Said.

I think he sounds great on this record.

It's a much better mic for him.

This is excellent, without a doubt. Some unexpected turns. Such good production. Looking forward to a few more listens over the weekend.

Thank you all that helped me have a fun day. No one wanted toilet paper but here is 3 quicks thought on the shit I just experienced.

1. It sounds like they actually tried.
2. Definitely some 80's melodies and feels.
3. Buckle Up.

Hot take bonus - The opening drum fill on River Cross is a funny 80's fake out.

It's a very pleasant surprise that SBWM ended up being the worst song on the record.

It leaked?! Please, someone hook me up. It's almost 3 am here but there's no way I'm getting any sleep now that I know the album is out there. Please PM!
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.
