I will not make it to 11pm.

I hope when I wake up and listen to the song it does not suck.

my hope remains that by writing together they avoid some of the individual templates they’ve gotten a bit familiar with over time.

But Gigaton was great. Earthlings was pretty great. I have great expectations for Dark Matter
Looking forward to reading further coverage of the recording process. I'm always fascinated by the writing credits for every record, but, especially for this one, given the fresh blood; I'm wondering if the Wotmann, being the superfan he is, maybe forced them into different writing configurations, perhaps re-kindled some long since forgotten songwriting habits, sparked some new angles to pursue, etc.

Can't wait to find out. My personal hope is more duckwalk Stone, less strutting, spritzy, Shania Stone.
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…
