Got To Give sounds positively euphoric on the proper record.

Stunning.

There was a rawness and grittiness to the iPhone leak that is completely missing from the glossy and shiny official release. The ethereal screams from the baby added a completely different dimension.

The iPhone/baby leak will be in regular rotation. Official release can get in the fucking bin.

At least 4 5 star songs. Maybe 7 depending on lyrics.

F@*K guys!

This is the record they've been trying to make since 2003. It's the record I've been wanting since 2003.

I've enjoyed everything in between and am even a LB apologist, but this is different.

Upper Hand ftw!

Easily the best record since Self Titled.

Too early to say anything beyond that, but that's still a decent, big statement to make.

I hate the production on this but I also don’t necessarily disagree
Maybe you will like the boots?

This, pretty much. I believe I said this earlier but it feels like this is the album they were trying to make with Avocado but that felt a little too forced. Nothing feels forced here. The band just sounds like they're having fun. This 2 week writing/recording as a band in the same room needs to continue, regardless of who produces future (if any) albums.

Imagine what people would rate this if the production was much less 2024.

Also, Eddie just announced that PJ is playing Obana the first and third nights and Neil Young & Crazy Horse the middle night!

It’s on PJ’s page on Apple Music and it shows as a 1hr time stamp. He talks about PJ for a few minutes, plays clips of older songs, he plays Wreckage from the albu
then Ed talks for a second, and Stone talks for a second. Then a bunch of other artists songs and small interviews. The PJ part is 15 minutes long. I’m guessing a longer version of just PJ will be released later
