Then they are out of the way the quickest

So after one listen, I really like it. Certainly a lot to digest. Musically, it seems a LOT different than what we're used to. My first thought was " how the fuck is Boom gonna handle all these keyboard parts live?" Lots of lyrics to study. Has Ed ever been so prolix and sesquipedalian?

Of course, the Matt tune is the MVP of the whole shebang.

"Alright" is making some money moves today and may just move from my Easy Jams tier to Favorites before the day is done...

The record arrived, smells very nice.

My etching says "Is this you?" I feel attacked.

Let this "pretty baby".... chime in for a second. 7:00 and Whoever Said are Pearl Jam catolog crushers. Name a mid tempo one that can touch 7:00 or a rocker that can touch Whoever Said.

I like 7:00 and WES a lot, but let's not pretend there's nothing that can touch them

What from pj contends with them? You can list some.

"Rockers" that are better than Whoever Said:
Once, Even Flow, Why Go, Porch, Deep, Go, Animal, Blood, RVM, Last Exit, STBC, Whipping, Satan's Bed, Hail Hail, Habit, Lukin, Brain of J, DTE, Breakerfall, Gods Dice, Grievance, Insignificance, Save You...

I'm sure I'm missing a few but you get the point.

i prefer who ever said over about half of those songs, but especially breakerfall and gods dice, come on! those are bside quality songs

Moar poop jokes from Mike.

[bodysnatcher]

goddammit, stop making me like you, Mike!

[Superblood Wolfmoon]

Went through the album with headphones last night while watching the visualizations. Highly recommended.
