Ahh!! I've been busy all day, just got home to see the good news! Been waiting a long time for today. So what do I gotta do guys, is it only stream or are we waiting for rips? I want to put this on my iPod so I can properly jam out with headphones and not be tethered to the computer.

Im also getting over the chorus for INfallible. I wanted it to be something else but im getting used to it and it is now becoming a better song. I think the verse is still the magic in the song though...
Agreed on both statements.

Here comes Infallible. Verses sound really cool. Haha, the chorus sounds like Incubus. The way he sings "Infallible". I think I like this but I expected something completely different.

I like the verses but it's that chorus... :shake:
LTRP sounds even worse now, as it's among better songs. This should have been killed. Silly.
I still think Supersonic is a bigger clunker. I don't understand "embarrassing" in terms of this song at all. It's pretty slight against some of these songs, but embarrassing?

Yeah it's far from "embarrassing".

I think Ed sounds great throughout. Singing in the range that feels natural. Not pushing it much.

I've been jumping all over the place. And skipping tracks.
No work for me. Tips? I am listening right through the itunes stream. I can only skip a few seconds ahead. If i pause or try to skip tracks, it just starts over with Getaway.

This album is every bit as cohesive as Yield [which is not a bad thing].

Maybe you need to let it buffer a little? I dunno.

I know that feeling, but every time I've felt like this about a PJ song I end up loving it in the end.

UK iTunes through an iPhone. It works with that combo.
