I hate how there's no convenient way to report a problem on Spotify. I guess you're supposed to post on their community forums and give lots of your thoughts and prayers?

It is kind of the kick in the rear I needed to put my essential music collection of files I own on my phone though.
really? maybe something in your options?

Oh that's hilarious. Now, without doing anything (but threatening my thoughts and prayers), I looked again on my computer and it's showing the explicit version.
It had been censored for me for a couple days.
Cool!

It’s been nearly 4 months since being released and my mind hasn’t changed at all.

I think Gigaton is among their best output. Period.

I have listened almost non-stopped with only the occasional breaks as to not be numbed by it.

Hoping they do something during this time that continues the partnership with JE.

Yup. Can't tell you how much I'm counting on them working with Josh again.

Really that last part has been the biggest gift.

I love Gigaton and all but the release of that album more than anything else got me back into the band again in a big way.

I think SBWM would be improved if Matt doubled up the snare on the "took her away too soon" parts, like a Last Exit groove; he could play the rest straight like he does already

the thing Matt lacks is not skill, it's imagination

I've come to really appreciate Never Destination. It's just a fun rocker with a cool bridge and solo.

Yep - absolutely love it. Its placement within the song sequence is a stroke of genius. Perfect after 7 o’clock.

Yeah, it's got tons of energy. While I initially saw it and the TTLW as a weak spot in the album, I now always look forward to both of them.

These last few comments sum up how I feel. I am still loving this album. I've had to actively not listen to it too much. It's definitely among their best efforts.

I've come around big time on Never Destination as well, love it. Only weak spot on the album for me now is TTLW. I don't hate it or anything but I often go straight to side C once Never Destination is over.

Agreed. I know a lot of people like Matt Cameron's songs, from what I've read this is because they are perceived as more technically sophisticated, but I can't think of any that really deserve to be on an album.
