Getaway did sound even better. Would that it was similarly roughed up on the record.

All in all, this was pretty boring since we didn't hear anything new. I was really hoping for an MFS snippet.

C'mon man...you can find better things to critique. (Harmless).

They play that in concert my head is going to do the same thing. I'll even send you a video postcard of it.

Sometimes I can see why someone points something out, agree or not, sometimes....well...
Sure, I can find better things to critique. But why? I thought it was weird so I said so, you don't have to agree with me.

I'm hoping for a longer, more extended version. Hell, it'd be pretty rad to get a Single Video Theory type movie.

I would think so. You don't bring in someone like Apatow to be used for 10 seconds in an EPK.

Yeah this statement is unnecessarily killjoy.

Thank you somebody for saying this. The guy is excited about a new record and he gets nitpicked for it on here. Fucking unreal.

Loved the band's reaction to Steve Gleason's question about it being so long between records.

Is that the same car Ed drove at the beginning of Single Video Theory?

I actually find Getaway at least head bob (not o'brien) worthy so maybe I'm a little bias here.

This. Also, I hope they release that Lightning Bolt video with an extended outro, ala Sirens.

I don't think I ever said I wasn't excited about the new record. I can't wait. I just had a temporary "dancing dad" feeling about this bit. I'm not actually insulting Ed, more the whole concept of the "rocking out in the car" scene. It was a directorial choice I didn't like much. Ed doesn't need defending from this.
