Four songs in and I love this!

They should have been doing this stripped down low-fi stuff for ages. It makes me hate their last few albums even more than I already do.

My musical tastes have shifted a lot over the years, but I'm always a sucker for this type of thing.

My 6 & 3 year old sons liked the songs in the following order:

SBWM (they hadn't heard it yet)
Never Destination (anybody else hear Petty toward the end?)
DOTC
Take The Long Way
Quick Escape
Who Ever Said
7:00

The rest were "too slow."

They're not similar songs but quality wise I'd say "Superblood Wolfmoon"

No, I agree, I think it’s probably been transcoded and seems a bit lacking quality-wise.
Yes it definitely sounds transcoded. A vaguely hollow sort of sound.
Why don't people who receive leaked albums ever know how to rip music properly?

Debating on whether my curiosity to hear the album is outweighed by my annoyance at the sound quality.

I don't have any objection to hearing a leak, I just want to enjoy it without it raising my blood pressure.

Probably SuperBlood is closest to Supersonic, but even it is better than Supersonic.

Yeah, it's not awful, but I can still hear it.

As usual, it's most obvious on things like Matt's cymbals.

a lot to love about this after 1 listen. Some i will need to hear more

Couple initial things i didn't love

Ed is a little too wordy

Hate to just give BoB shit but pretty sure it is him playing keys on 7 o clock and retrograde. Didn't enjoy either of those parts


Stoked overall!
