Yeah, calling you a troll is a bad take. You've been totally open about your feelings and have gone to great lengths to explain your positions and reasoning.

But I guess it's gotta be 100% fan-boying or GTFO these days.

its really cool after a re read from that RS interview to actually get a little more from Ed´s relationship with him and also with people.

I met a couple on Chicago around PJ20 and she had a similar story with her handling a note and eddie giving her a call for her bday a year from that day.

Pretty cool.

Probably 90% of us would rank the records as we already do regardless of production.

I only wish we could actually hear the room.

Is there a way we can extract the room sounds from superunnknon and fly them across the tracks on DM? Let's do this thing

So having listened through about 4 times I am wondering for others that have listened through: What should the next single be? Might be a fun poll.

Clips sound great...and dare I say not quite as over-produced as DM and Running. We shall see but in any case I'm gonna try to go dry until this thing releases...
