a return to the form after 10 years of blackout

Gay post coming:

As a fan, im actually really proud of this record after the last few shit years from the band.

im fully enjoying this. It is different. I get that some people aren't into later day PJ but this feels like a nice way to mature for the band. Sure, the stinkers on here can be pretty stinky and a few odd choices but overall this is great. The highs are are far higher than anything on the past 2-3 records...

I also like that my opinions have changed, better and worse, on tracks across the record. I think that is a good thing.

Stratty like.

RIP Strat

My vinyl preorder from 10c didn't arrive on time. Surprise, surprise....

I'm listening through to my (hopefully) new and improved playlist, sans LTRP and FD. Let's see how this thing goes.

I think this is going to monumentally improve this thing, guys.

So you are actually going to listen to Sirens?

I love Sirens and have since the very first listen. It's probably the best song on the record.

My reason why is that it does something new *and* does it fucking brilliantly, whether you're down with the style or not.

It seems that I'm one of the few here who really likes Sirens. I'm surprised myself.

I think i had it 4th in my rankings yesterday, such a great song

I've stopped making excuses for LTRP and FD, but I'm taking Sirens to my grave.

[Okonkwo]

I don't love LTRP - I'd put it in the bottom third - but it's a fun change of pace and comes off as far less cheesy to me than Si-ruhns.

Guys, can anyone listening to the album check something for me?

On my CD copy, I can hear very, very faint drums in the background of the "Swallowed Whole" intro, before the actual drums come in. They're out of time and very distracting as they fall just in front of the beat of the guitar; they sound like a part of the drum track was turned seriously low in the mix but not actually deleted.

Can anyone hear that? It's before the actual first snare hit we're meant to be hearing comes in.

[lefty]

I just took a listen, and I hear it too. Can't say for sure what it is, though.

It's hi-hat, and then a snare comes in when Ed starts singing. It's bad. It wouldn't matter if it was in time.
