I think it finds a comfortable home in my bottom ten.

I’ve slowed considerably, as I usually alternate through music and podcast phases. I listened in full over the weekend and really still enjoy it. Even TTLW, which never clicked for me, is good.

I can understand that, even though I love Alright. SBWM is probably my least favorite right now, but it's a high quality tune. I honestly have no idea how Ed is going to keep it together with all those lyrics live.

I hear ya. I definitely wish they would cut their sets to 20 - 25 songs, not attempt to play 100 different songs in a tour, and just actually nail the songs that they do play.

Same. I can understand some people don't love certain songs, but I wouldn't change a thing on this record. So glad they managed to create this 30 years in.

Spotify is only giving me the censored version of Gigaton right now and it's the worst.
I hate how there's no convenient way to report a problem on Spotify. I guess you're supposed to post on their community forums and give lots of your thoughts and prayers?

It is kind of the kick in the rear I needed to put my essential music collection of files I own on my phone though.
