Still enjoying the hell out of these. We'll see how I feel when I'm sober in the morning.

Not to derail the bitch slapping of my new brethren but how in the f'ck did those people write detailed reviews after one listen to all 12 songs in a crowded room??? Very impressive. I've listened to these 4 songs about five time and I still could barely write shit about them.

How can anybody "absolutely HATE" a piece of art? It might not be your favourite song, but man...
C'Mon son. Don't be that guy.

Well brother, I *am* that guy. And drop the condescending "son" bit. It's been overdone and it doesn't look good on you.
Was just joking sorry. :peace: Internet talk, I could have interchanged it with bro, bruh, sis, dude, muchacho, hombre, home-skillet, cat etc.

You should've used them all. Would've been funny.

oh yeah that reminds me we should go back and judge all the reviewers on a scale of idiot to dumbass. I think we have enough information to go on now.

I love Swallowed Whole.. Reminds me of REM!

Let the records play - Is a treat.. it's reminiscent to Red Mosquito and 1/2 full but goes one step beyond

Lightning bolt - MFC meets Unthought Known, I like it better now.. but probably not my fave of them all.

Getaway - Fave song out of the bunch we've heard. Eddie sounds young and full of energy!

I think Cropduster is a load of old bollocks. Hate? I despise the fuckin' thing!
It takes a special kind of moron to hate "Cropduster".

Is it cool to hate these yet? Just checking so that my board credentials are suitably cool. Because I just can't wait to hate these songs and all of Pearl Jam's recent output. Thanks!

My point was this: Railing against religion is not for soccer moms.

In general, I'm not offended by anything. I'm an adult.

Stip, great write-up dude. I've yet to listen to the 4 new ones yet cause I'm holding out for a quality leak, but this wet my appetite. Glad to see such a mostly positive reaction so far, still knowing that we've not yet heard what sounded like the strongest songs from the listening party (My Father's Son, Infallible, Pendulum, and Yellow Moon). One things for sure, I know I'll hate the fade outs that I'm reading about, much like I despised them on BS...
