The forum just took one and then woke up again, refreshed.

Will that itch last though? And how long?

So far it's been a 3+ year itch, life-related. So I don't think it'll be a passing musical fad thing. I just really need to hear songs about lizards fucking at the moment. (Kidding.)

Tenclub says new single today 3 eastern pj radio

Sorry to interrupt your leak fest... but I just noticed that someone on the Pit heard some news about the new single being played today at 3 pm eastern time on PJ Radio.

Anyone else hear this rumor?

EDIT: Damn, I'm always one step too slow. Not sure why I even try.

the kids are napping so I'm having lunch and then I'm gonna go for a walk and try and really absorb this

That would be sweet if on top of this we still get Sirens today! HAHA!

Me neither. And it's the lyrics that I'm finding slippery.

Gotta be, Let The Records Play

Doesnt the post at the pit say Thursday? As in next week? Unless its still Thursday somewhere.

Getaway into cold confession works quite well.

If I like any of the new tracks as much as I like CC ill be happy.

I've pretty much discarded swallowed whole as just not my thing.

sirens is one of the anchor tracks of the record. I feel like so far we've mostly heard the linking songs.

Hmmm...

Getaway is definitely catchy. Had me singing along and dancing around on the second listen. But it's definitely a soft song, and it's disappointing that MYM is the albums hardest moment. I love MYM even more now. The Arctic Monkeys comparison with Getaway was spot on. It's that style.

Lightning Bolt - Sounds better on here, but they killed the middle part "Always somethin" which was the part I loved live, they removed the guitar for some fucking piano! It's still nice, but ugh.

Let The Records play is fun and catchy too. VERY Black Key's style. I was expecting some little Little Richard type shit. I like it, but it also sounds a little thin.

Swallowed Whole - I really like some of the melodies. But it's a little cheesy, Ed sounds nasally and breathy. But I really love the melody when he sings "Songs inside the wind"


Eghhh I don't mean to sound negative. I like all the songs, and I like the melodies but I think what I'm hearing is some of the same production from Backspacer. Everything sounds a little neutered and clean. That was my biggest fear. I can't wait to hear Infallible, Pendulum, Yellow Moon and MFS as they will probably save this album for me, but please dear god, I hope they go with another producer next time. WTF is Brendan doing.

Oh for fucks sake it is Friday

well I think CC is better than these songs. But these are good.

It's going to fall flat if you don't buy into the life-affirming gaya earth, wind and fire stuff.

Great idea, im going mountain biking when I get out of this sh1t hole aka my job...

I'm disappointed you all haven't talked yourselves into "best record since Vitalogy" yet.

The only one I am not immediately sold on is Let The Records Play.

No idea why.

Wait, the new single is gonna be next week, not today? Fuck what a SHIT day.
