He already tweeted last week that LB is on his list of favorite albums of the year so far. So that pretty much influenced the way that I read it. But I don't think it's really that cryptic either.

He does say something about the way they shift from LTRP to Pendulum to Swallowed Whole... which is a bit off considering that's not the song order, but maybe he wasn't intending that to be taken literally.

I still picture Yellow Moon as a bluesy jam in the vein of 1/2 Full... but I guess it's time to give up on that dream :(

Na I think he was just commenting on the general crazy variety.

Please no. Someone mentioned NAIS and Lanegans bleeding muddy water. Though that came from the listening parties. Maybe its all those things :shock:

I like the few seconds of the Vine clip. Obviously that means nothing, but it had violin so it might fit the last track, FD, very well.

It would make sense that Joseph Arthur would be listening to one of Jeff's songs.

Croduster by the numbers?? Jeez, do people hear the things they say? Cropduster sounds like nothing in the rest of the catalog. And it's full of awesome melodies and great intricate work by the whole band. A top song for me, and a great album .
