Finally the band has some real good music to share, great stories to tell, no skippers to skip. I'm not sure if i like the album but i really like each song on it. For me it's like listening to a bunch of some forgotten pearls from the records i like the most. I'm glad there's noting which reminds me of riot act and s/t era (for me that's a really good thing)

Easily. That's how bad LTRP is.
I... don't understand. Nothing can be as bad as you're saying this song is. Well, death is. Not this song.
I'd take death over LTRP.

THANK YOU

I'd be interested in your examples at some point, but I agree with your general point. It's interesting that he's gone from "Ghost" (where he explains nothing, and MAN it works) to this.
Apparently he was trying too hard to make stuff cryptic before, now he lets it aaaall hand out, gut, back fat, fupa, all of it. More visceral less cerebral.

I haven't heard inside job in long enough to remember if its worse than ltrp. All I remember is hideous vocals.

Much better this way

Nice work. So much more palatable for me. Would you mind sharing a copy?
