so far it's a really good record. A few more strong songs make it a great record. Every song is at least good.
This does not bode well for most of RM.
No, that's true.
I'm still with you though, buddy. I'm super excited to hear this thing.

I really dislike Sirens. Like a lot. Same thing with Future Days (well, the one time I heard it).

But I find myself still enjoying Mind Your Manners enough when it comes on the radio though. And if the studio version of Lightning Bolt really does maximize the strong points of the Wrigley performance, I can definitely see it something I'll enjoy.

I think my hope at this point is that with all of the records I'm really psyched about that come out this month, LB will catch me by surprise when it finally does come out. Having my expectations and anticipation placed elsewhere might be the best thing for me and this album.
