You're not, so post away. Also, a lot of the comments are tongue in cheek here.

Crash course on TSIS lameology:

Zombie pyramids I'm lost here.
The Fixer video Didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. I don't put much stock in videos anyway.
BoB (being blamed for the songs that PJ now writes) They've always had such a mixed bag of songs--I don't think they're much softer or sappier now than they were back in the day, but maybe that's just me.
Ed taking over control Ancient news.
Stone conceding all control See above.
Boom's sausage fingers Again, I just ride with the Boom thing. He's friends with the band and they asked him to play with them. I think that's kinda beautiful.
Binaural's official tracklisting Again, band decision. I take them for what they are. They obviously left off some great songs, but I'm sure they had their reasons. Incidentally, I love Evacuation and God's Dice, which I know are not the most popular tunes among the fanbase.

That's just the tip of the iceberg

They're not at all bad, but the first four images had a place or two with more detail. The "Getaway" one particularly was very big block shapes without much finer work. It's no big deal. Maybe the final reveal of this one will have some details that are revealing. The change from the two big faces on FD to the figures was really something.

OK, now I have some context for the perceived drop in quality. Fair point.

Not as much as I miss nightmareblack0206 though. I wish that dude would come back. I want to know what he thinks of the artwork reveal.

nightmareblack0206 will ALWAYS BE WITH US.

RIGHT STIP? BACK ME UP!

For your notes: if none of the images are intended to work with each other (montage, layers, overlapping, etc.) this will all be a massive disappointment . I've have unintentionally and probably unfairly raised my expectations.
