Pretty inconvenient time for your work computer to go on the fritz

so the head of our IT department lives about 30 minutes from me in naperville. i went to his house today. he came out wearing rubber gloves, set a box down, and i got out of my car carrying a work computer, and i took the computer out of the box and set mine in, and we never said a word to each other (all half joking but half serious).

Quick Escape is going to blow your fucking mind. Forget best Pearl Jam song in 20 years, it's the best rock song in god knows how long.

Remember how we all skipped past songs like "Present Tense" or "Low Light" or "Sleight of Hand" or "Army Reserve" to get to the "rockers" on those albums. Then we went back and were like "Holy shit those may actually be the best songs on there". Yeah, Gigaton has at least three songs like that.

No.

Guess it was just me. I feel ashamed.

i remember that they actually played present tense on XRT here in chicago right after no code came out. that was a pleasant surprise.

I've started and abandoned three posts doing this. Glad someone else caved first.

This is happening to me, too. I barely listened to it over the past month, and I'm certainly not skipping it just to get to the new, unfamiliar stuff. But when I just think generally about how surprised I am by the whole thing, the "Oh, shit, and DOTC" thought comes a moment later.

I don't want to listen to the album out of order yet, but this has tempted me.

Considering some of the single choices from the band it's not even a bit surprising, but how in the actual f*ck was Quick Escape not the second single...it's such a blatantly obvious choice

It’s got that big soaring clashing thing like breath goin on


Love it

Yeah, the chorus sounds straight out of Ten to me. That was my first thought the first moment I heard it, and at first I didn't trust what I was hearing.
