Reminds me of the Gigaton interstitials between tracks. Yawn.
why am I not recalling what this is? I just remember some glacial melt.
They teased the haunting intro to whoever said which kicks the album off...
Right, but that's not an interstitial.

I like that instrumental beginning to Who Ever Said and the way it clunks out. But yeah, it's not indicative of that song
it's not indicative of the song, and yet I would hardly call it irrelevant to the flow of the album; these PJ interludes have always been as crucial to me as the songs

I miss PJ having emotional depth; no kids party songs on this album pls

I like the return of the organ, reminds me of Riot Act

There's a "SOON ->" emoji at the top of the tweet that's strangely dark and hard to see.

So, now we can all debate what "soon" means.

(at least it's dark and hard to see on my screen...)

The album was laced with little sonic pieces that, while they didn't have their own track, they intro'd and outro'd songs in many cases. I'm using the term to describe space occupied between each song. Call it what you will, it's not just in the opening track. I'm not going to list them all.

there's some Vitalogy-esque warmup before Buckle Up, and a little room noise before River Cross

guys I absolutely love this 25 seconds of music, which means that the rest of this song will inevitably be the cause of my next mental spiral

do you think that them quoting "11 song album" in a tweet is confirmation that it's actually 11 songs?
