Gave it two listens and going to hold off until the theater thing. First listen, really dug SOF, Wreckage, Upper Hand, Got To Give, and Won’t Tell. Waiting for Stevie may have been hyped up too much in my mind.

Thank you, stip. More than I could have possibly hoped for.
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…

I've given up.

Loving the first track. Very early Gaslight Anthem chorus.

Love it.

I think someone said it was a link to a stream…so probably not an easy job to rip a copy (for most people).
Makes sense. We very well may get no actual leak (aside from Coach’s cornhole) this time.

not sure why you are trying to rile people up at this moment. Do you need them to hate PJ too?

Had one listen and I think that will be it until the movie theatre.

Holy shit I’m stoked. Dark matter, running and something special are the weakest tracks imo.

WFS is everything and more. Sounds fucking epic. And setting Sun. I’m so excited.

Sounds like there is some depth and complexity to a lot of the songs as well so it’s certainly not backspacer part 2 which I was kinda worried about.

This album has some anthems! Can’t wait to hear it all. I don’t think I’ve been this excited from a leak since S/T.

Still blissfully in the dark regarding the unreleased 10 songs. I might just make it to Friday.

I think in the excitement of hearing new songs it initially gets lost just how low quality the leak is (still appreciated!). But upon multiple listens it becomes harder to listen to imo.
