1. Scared of Fear 4:24
2. React, Respond 3:31
3. Wreckage 5:00
4. Dark Matter 3:31
5. Won't Tell 3:28
6. Upper Hand 5:57
7. Waiting for Stevie 5:41
8. Running 2:19
9. Something Special 4:07
10. Got to Give 4:37
11. Setting Sun 5:44


9 out of the 11 song titles (82%) come from the back 65% of the alphabet. How significant is this on a scale of very to extremely?
That's penultimate album levels of late alphabet.

Album 13 will be 100% and the last song will just be called Zzz

All three are verbs?
I spent so long trying to figure out how water could be a verb but you're right
as in “water the plants”?
yes I know that now! hence why I said but you're right!

This seems to be a MUCH higher quality clip of Running.

It's sounds great though my Sonos FIVE speakers in stereo.

Hints maybe but it's a much different feel overall to me. The drum fills at :14 and :25 are quite nice.

Now let's have 10 pages of convo about how they SOUND.

So no new clip today? Things tend to happen at 1pm EST. If they're trying to space things out evenly we could expect just a couple clips per week until the 19th.

Definitely. That chorus just hits. I'm getting a MYM vibe from the other parts as well. This track is probably gonna be great
