It's provided me a good place to slow down my posting, that's for sure.

anyone listen to Cold Conf(c)ession and Let it Ride anymore? I haven't for a long time, and I feel all of the LB songs I've heard are better than CC and LiR.

While I think those two are OK songs, I like the dynamics I'm hearing with LB.

I would be shocked if I like anything off of LB more than CC

That's funny, because I think CC is kinda boring and monotonous.

CC is pretty fantastic. I think one or two songs might better, but not being better than CC isn't necessarily a knock on the song's quality.

I've enjoyed everything more than let it ride, so far.

And Phill Collins is AWESOME

he's an awesome drummer, that's a fact.

Yes but his drumming is not what ruins the songs.

CC is amazing as is Sirens. I am enjoying Swallowed Whole and Getaway alot as well. Lightning Bolt is growing on me. LTRP is cool for what it is ,but I am not going back to it much same with Let it Ride

i rest my case.

[Vindicator]

I can't get that into CC or LIR because they sound like demos. They sound unfinished. CC can be pretty good , I find it a little boring.

The second half of LIR is fantastic though, I love what the whole band is doing.

[Juvenal]

I can show you some of the people in my life

I've enjoyed MYM more than both of them. But all three are pretty great songs.

I haven't heard all those others. But I'd put LIR behind MYM and before CC.

[stip]

getaway is kinda like an upbeat Let it Ride

[stupidmop]

I still love CC and LiR more than anything i've heard so far. Getaway has a chance of maybe getting close to LiR maybe but i dunno, i really love that last verse/bridge into the outro ahh ahhhs in LiR. Like really. And i think i prefer the lyrics.

[stip]

LIR really needs that second half to elevate it, and it feels a bit too plodding to me. But if that doesn't bother you (or you don't feel that way) I can see why people love it.

CC is a track I think should stay the way it is. I'd be interested to see them rerecord Let it Ride

[ABNorman]

I've only listened to the 4-song leak once, but:

Sirens
CC
(Getaway)
Lightning Bolt
Mind Your Manners
LIR
(Let the Records Play)

And I can't remember Swallowed Whole.

LIR has an awesome second half, but the first half ain't great.
