SBM sounds like the Uke version with some basic Led Zep 3 drumming then it gets a bit interesting with a guitar break before dropping again. Meh. Shoulda just been a live version and not on an album. maybe a xmas single. Wasted real estate but not at all unpleasant

The first 30 seconds of Getaway sound a lot better I think. That's the only thing I'm allowed to hear.

just finished my first full listen... i definitely like it way more than Backspacer upon first listen, maybe Riot Act too, which is all i honestly hoped for at this point.

that said, the first half > second half.

the 3 songs i don't like at all yet are all in the last 4 songs.

It is so frustrating to try and reply to something and find the topic locked... Anyway, I feel sorry for Germany and I am off to bed now to listen with headphones.

groetjes,

I don't imagine there's any way to rip from itunes? I bet they're protected up the ass.

These iTunes streams are still not, like, optimum quality, but it's a lot better than what had leaked.

Yeah I'm getting this too. I'm gonna try and update my Itunes (will take a while seeing as I haven't used it in years)

The middle 8 in "My Father's Son" reminds me of the middle 8 in "Brain of J".

This song is sweet.

Muuuuch better. More bass for sure.
Yeah that's the main thing I'm hearing; a lot more bass as well as odd other extra noise that wasn't there on the leaks. It's much better.

I'm just through Infallible. Really enjoyed it, can see it growing into a top 15-20er maybe. Now, Pendulum....

Seems to be my issue too. Let me know if it works. Cheers.

I'm listening to the whole thing in order, not jumping to the unheard tracks. Wanna take in the whole package. :naughty:
