No? Because you don't care about it or are you just gonna download it from somewhere
At the moment what I've heard isn't enough to compel me pay full price for it. It feels weird being in this place with this band for the first time ever. Backspacer was probably the first blind purchase that I probably look back and wouldn't have got multiple copies based on the music alone. I'll no doubt stream LB on Spotify a few times but it's more a case now of buying this at some point so I don't have a gap in the collection rather than because I'm really into the music.

I hope when you stream it you like what you hear enough to buy it

Glauben Sie, dass Harmless wird masturbieren, während dies lesen?

A good friend of mine, a casual PJ fan, told me today that he really likes 'Sirens'. So that's good.

I feel like this is going to be a good album for rearranging the tracks... avocado and backspacer didn't have that for me.
