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…

Hopefully the first few songs sound heavy and BIG, and the band really opens the record with a BANG!

"Downtown Train" was my first-dance song at my wedding, as my wife and I met on the New York City subway.

Ours was Never Let Go. Perfect wedding song IMO. Wife let me have it even though she’s not a Waits fan cause she likes the sentiment. However, she tells people our song was sung by the fucking Cookie Monster.

At this point, I'd like to keep the surprise of the first 2-3 tracks so I don't need any more teasers. Maybe a little snippet of Wreckage or something.

Honestly the time for clips has passed. They had a chance to roll them out over the last month and nothing.

Now, being so close to the full thing, I'd rather just hear it all at once.

But I still think they'll begin with a clip per day on the 10th until the release.

It took me awhile to really pin point it, but I just heard Dark Matter for the first time in a few weeks, and I now realize, it's the chorus of Blood and a bit of the chorus of Once that I'm hearing. That's what's giving it that Ten / Vs feel

On Running, I'm hearing alot more Get Right than I initially heard. The bass line and the claps. Makes sense, both are Jeff songs
