these are the faster, upbeat songs, and so far I am enjoying them quite a bit. I wish the quality was better.

Come on guys. Quit being assholes. This is not Backspacer II.

At the risk of sounding like a penis, I have not heard these. I am not going to hassle people for them via PM and I'm not really requesting them now.

All I'm saying is that if someone could Pleas Alford me a bit of help in locating these I will be eternally grateful, pass on your good will by helping others that are also in the same position as myself currently and even attempt to help with some lyrics. I'm doing my best not to sound like a beg, here. :D

Getaway's sloppy solo tells me it might be Stone and not Mike playing

Ed is so wordy, it's all OVER THOUGHT.

Where is the moody, experimental, atmospheric, fucking gutsy album?

This is Backspacer II indeed.

I guess it's not fair for me to be pissed off that they aren't making the record I want them to make.
Hey hey. It's OK. Sometimes you find yourself being told to change your ways.
'If it's off my plate, it's alright. I've got my own way to believe.' That's pretty good imo.

Also, what follows what you quoted:

'There's no way. Mine is mine and yours won't take its place. Now make your getaway!'

It's got wit.

I still really, really want there to be a song called "Alford Pleas" someday.

I said this to McP as well. You may not like those songs either, but based on everything we've heard from the early reviews the songs you are looking for are not part of this leak. That was yellow moon, infallible, my father's son, pendulum...
Exactly, plus if this is a promo thing then of course they are going to send their most radio-friendly songs...I love what im hearing so far...

Yes it's the exact same. There's absolutely nothing extra going on with the studio version....

It really isn't the same. I said that I wanted my issues with the live version fixed, and God dammit, nearly all of them are.

THIS is what people meant when they said Lightning Bolt might be different in the studio version.

I'm just happy to find that if it's more developed, like this, 'poppy PJ' isn't bad at all.
