put another way, these statements aren't saying anything at all.

I'm thankful I waited the whole way. After reading every single page from you guys, I felt kinda like an old friend was coming to visit when I finally put this thing on. It's like I felt a connection on first listen. I'm in awe, not just because of the strength of this record, but how easily I digested it. It's excellent. Even the weaker songs are songs I can find enjoyment in. I feel the same contentment now that I used to feel what seems so long ago from one of their records.

I needed to feel something. With everything going on right now, and I have a business that's being severely impacted, I lost something inside at the moment, got desensitized. This........this has made me feel something....something wonderful, and I'm very thankful.....to the band, to music and to you guys.

It is really starting to bother me how thin they sound on the low-end, which is a shame because I really like both songs.

Congrats on holding out and getting this moment. Hope things can get better for you.

I too feel like this experience wouldn't have been the same without RM. Thank you for keeping the lights on, squad. This place is a real gem.
