Are these tunes well received by the S/T Backspacer haters? Just curious, what's the consensus?

Extremely well received.

Since it is, maybe fanclub members are getting that EP Mike talked about with 6-8 b-sides along with LB? That's why these songs some how showed up now after all these years on the shelf? One can hope with songs like these 2.

I'm almost back to thinking it could be a double album. Why do they not have the tracklist out? Are they possibly working the order out over the span of 2 discs? The price thing is really interesting and possibly telling.

They have 3 months until release. They wanted to have an album announcement to go with the tour. They want the record to be released around the start of the tour. They have 3 months to fill in between. We will get the track list during a lull.


My theory

My theory

How will I know when this lull is happening? What does a lull look like? Worse than now?

stip wrote:Yes, although some of the unity was undercut when some people started saying how these great songs will make lightning Bolt suck. Then we had a typical fruitful conversation when some people argued not like everything makes you a hipster douche, some people argued that the people who sometimes take issue with the tone of the board just don't like reading criticism, and everyone missed the point

But why not get them out there to the consumer? I would if I was a band, especially with itunes. Just drop an occassional song or two for $1.29 a peace now and again of decent leftovers in between albums. Doesn't that make sense now days?

Ed works in mysterious ways.
