Listen to the stream on their website. It's longer and contains a few instrumental interlude sections, and one song I didn't recognise.

I basically got lost in this album. It's long but in a really good, immersive way. I wish more albums were like this.

It'll be John Mayer's second listenable recording.

I like everything on the first side except Flashbulb Eyes. I'm not sure about that one yet. Reflektor, Here Comes The Night Time and Joan Of Arc are my favorites here. Onto side two!

Side A is a party at a really strange disco and Side B is the hangover afterwards or the relaxed afterparty where everyone gets a little emotional.

You just couldn't resist could you? :gomez:

This album is going to tie with Neon Bible as my favourite AF album.

"Joan of Arc" is pretty great. Killer backing vox. by the French bird.

A few things: I love "Normal Person", but "Orpheus" is the best song on the record. I'm also surprised more people aren't squirting about "Porno". huehuehue.
