Looking forward to your impressions, Fattie. Please upload real-time footage of the salt n pepper cargo rockers air guitaring and air drumming
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…

Do it as in upload a shitty recording or commit to going to the theater? Of the former, sorry folks, it honestly doesn’t feel right. The quality will be so bad, it will do the album a disservice. I’d rather just experience it and be with it and not holding up my phone the whole time.

But there are others here who are going who might be willing to do that.

You’re pretty confident this is going to leak on Sunday. Do you know something the rest of us don’t? Wait, are you going to leak it? Is the… is the call coming FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE?!?

Fine Trag, I’ll throw you a bone. It would sound worse than it already does thanks to the terrible production.

Pretty sure the “greatest ever drum fill” from Waiting For Stevie is at the 2:52 mark
The 1:45 clip is the one I’m looking forward to. Ed’s vocal melody is nice.

No one is asking you to record it on your phone, please use external mics.

This album roll out just keeps feeling more and more half assed

I have my popcorn and beer ready on a Friday afternoon... y'know, like waiting for something to do... or something to listen to?

The metal door clip of Wreckage really doesn't line up with the clip we got (which I love) I'm thinking it might be a bridge and not a chorus because it just feels like it's in a whole different key

Yeah, here's a couple random snippets two days in a row and then nothing. Like they forgot to release more. Which I could see happening.

I'd rather have a shitty roll out than some huge hype fest for a shitty album.
