imo it's heavier lyrically, thematically and musically than every album since Riot Act (except maybe S/T, maybe); "heavier than you might expect" is what he said; I wish we'd had more Dark Matter style guitar, but I still think it's pretty heavy
I agree with your sentiment, but when Mike says heavy I hear it sounds like Iron Maiden and Judist Priest. And I believe it is actually what he means by heavy.

you think two possibly cut tracks would make this into Iron Maiden?

Also, I hope if there's CD rips popping up, somebody's working on getting liner notes out there...

Really Running would be better after literally any other track

Also Got To Give is outstanding. Jeff is doing some nice work

I'd like that FLAC CD rip too, please.
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.

Where's the RM for Taylor Swift?

You know - a place where people can discuss star wars and rank things and request links to be PM'd ?
