weird thinking that the same band made Mind your Manners, Sirens, and Infallible (if it keeps that mood up) at the same time.

That 4 years obviously helped the variety, if nothing else.

You mean you never ordered the vinyl of his latest solo album just because the artwork is bigger? :). I did, but mine got lost in the mail, so I am waiting until the 90 days are over and I can report it as lost.

The bass is really high in this track, and it really isn't on some of the leaked tracks. I hope that means we have more bass on all of this stuff on a better recording.

I've literally never looked into his solo stuff. I know some people here rave about Bayleaf but I haven't heard anything off the latest one. I didn't know he did his own artwork either...

Nope, not yet. One of the reviews refers to a "jazzy" tune... Pendulum maybe?

Somebody said it was 'MFS', but I don't think anyone knows for sure

This album just got confirmed as moving from "potentially good to "likely great".

And yes, all from a 60 second clip

Looks like this whole album has the potential to be Jeff's shining moment so I really hope you are right
