So do we have a day set for when we're all supposed to start hating this?

Is that what chuds organising in chat now?

[harmless]

This one's burned pretty deep into my psyche by now. I'm a Lightning Bolt adherent.

Where were those album sleeve photos?

[Thurman Murman]

Backspacer didn't fit?

Is this package not the same?

nope. this one is the same style as uke songs and 10c avocado.

Wasn't 10c Backspacer the same style as uke and 10c avocado (ie. it fit in a regular rack)?

Gods' Dice, Breakerfall, and Evacuation are all better than State Of Love And Trust.

Crazy talk

"The same band can’t make the same record over and over you hipster-doofus Pitchfork reading folks."

OK, which one of us wrote this review?

Wow.
I know that guys name and I have no idea why

[stip]

it's not a particularly great review in terms of its quality, but a few of these reviews have said that this is one of the best rock albums of the year.

I don't listen to enough new music to make that claim one way or the other, but I like hearing other people make it.

He's exactly on the dot.

Guys, "Pendulum" is definitely louder, volume-wise. Even on the FLAC. The keyboard on the intro is ear-piercing.

[stip]

i want to listen to the flac version but I kinda need to go to bed.

[harmless]

There's always tomorrow! I need my bed too but I'm having trouble turning this album off.

[stip]

ah fuck it.

So are mike and stone mostly playing the same part in getaway? I'm noticing a bunch of subtle textural differences this time. I like what's happening with guitars during the science/Simon says part. Jeff is pretty loud in the mix

Yup.

I like that grumbling guitar part underneath the intro mym riff.

After comatose this is probably the best punk song they ever did.

Can someone with a hard copy of the cd actually post the mym lyrics?

I love this song

[stip]

Oh wow, mfs sounds much better now

I am trying to spot the two basses in here. Not sure I hear them.

This is one of the better bridges on the album. There are lots of nice little details

[harmless]

Yeah, the difference was pretty huge with MFS. It turned a good song into a great song for me.
