I'm fascinated at how they managed to translate Stone's "duck walk" into sound, through the application of state-of-the-art recording techniques.
Finally a moment where BOB shines.

I have lost hope. I am beginning to accept the reality that this album won't leak. The first time I'll be hearing these songs is when the TC makes the digital download available on the 15th. Or is it the 14th? I'm not even sure for my part of the world. I'm at GMT+5.

Patience, man. You have to leave the last track running for 3h 22m 03s. Then the 20 minute honky-tonky jazz version of Betterman (Live) kicks in.

I've been expecting it to leak for sometime now. Maybe letting go is the way to cope.

Is my father's son as good as the previews said? This and pendulum sound like big tunes on the album.

I don't think you'll be disappointed, although that piccolo solo could be said to be a little disingenuous.

A lot of lyrics about insemination built around some background grunting noises (Boom maybe?). It's all tied together really well with the saxophone solo.

The piccolo and sax dueling solo definitely puts this tune in top-5 territory.

Jack Irons drums on these two, but I'm not sure how you feel about that, so...
