Could we perhaps ban those who don't like the new songs? I don't want negativity in my Jamily

I thought the tour promo was Pendulum, not Infallible...might be wrong though, this thread moves too fast!

This album will make RM into the "logical extension of the Pit."

I could have mixed those two up, will check later, or maybe someone else is sure :). Edit: yes, thanks, fixed that.

Pretty sure the soundcheck song is Infallible, yes.

Oh, and some of those songs are also in de video that was shown during the listening sessions. Most people call it EPK (electronic press kit) but they said it was part of a bigger project, so I dont know what to call it.

I can't stop listening to Sirens, even though I've tried only to listen to things once or twice. I really, really, really like this song.

Sirens was a huge relief for me because going by the listening party reviews it sounded like I was bound to dislike it and admittedly I did after the first few listens. This morning, I was belting it out very loudly during the ride into work. From what I've heard of the album so far, this is shaping up to surpass BS and S/T (IMO of course).

Only song I haven't cared for is FD (the Wrigley version pretty much sucks, the demo-thingy we heard was just okay). LTRP is a good little jam, nothing that special though. I'm still baffled why SBM is on the record, but I'll reserve judgement until I hear it "redone" by the band and how it fits.

It's very strange, what having 'Sirens' does to tracks like LTRP. Totally changes their mood and makes them seem like the solid fillers they probably will be.

I was probably anticipating Infallible and Pendulum the most before this week. Now I'm totally vested in finding out how My Father's Son transitions after MYM and before Sirens. I can't even put something together mentally, should def be interesting
