Getaway, MYM, Swallowed Whole, and Lightning Bolt I think are great songs. Sirens I like, but I still haven't fully figured it out yet. LTRP is decent. That's really great start. Can't wait to hear the other half.

And i think its expected that MFS, pendulum and infallible will be good with yellow moon a real possibility as well

Well, Ed and Mike and BOB have already stated in interviews that this went through about 4 or 5 sequences. And I think Ed said he drove around in his car with a few of them until he figured out what he liked.

One thing that could have been a *ahem* monkeywrench, was the late addition of Yellow Moon. Another slow-ish track added to the mix probably made it more difficult to sequence.

My big hope is that in 6 months time I won't still be pissed that SBM is on this thing.

I feel lucky that I never was. If it's good it'll... be good.

Would have thought this would be a post from Harmless:)

But he will get us over the line. In post count and contagious enthusiasm.

I'm mainly trying to get myself so pissed off that I'm pleasantly surprised by it. In short, I need help.

For a while I've been wondering subconsciously if this thread will get to page 2013 and only then will the whole thing be leaked/released.

There is no way we can do 800 pages in basically a week.

We could. But it'll take modern-day harmless and 2004 CHUD to make it happen.

Probably not, but we will just have to see. There have been plenty of times I've left for a half hour and come back to 8 to 10 new pages. The weekend will really hurt it though
