I feel this album will be more cohesive than TBH&C.
I'm excited. Body Paint is flooring me and the other 3 I've heard are nice too.

I’ve heard 8 out of the 10 tracks.
I Ain’t quite where’re I think I am is the stand out for me.
But other tracks like Hello you, mirrorball, jet ski on a moat, big ideas and body paint are pretty darn good
Mr Schwartz and the car are not bad either
It’s better than Tranquility base with a twist of Humbug in the background imho
Hello you- knee socks with synths
Mr Schwartz - accoutic no 1 party anthem
The car - accoustic fireside meets the fire and the thud
Jet ski on a moat- bluesy/jazz/lounge version of Mad Sounds I like it for some strange reason

On first listen it's not at all rocking, as expected and a little underwhelming as a result. I want more oomph, more from Matt.
It sounds nice though and I'm sure this will grow on me. It does seem better overall the TBH&C.

Yeah that one is stellar. Reminds me of Floyd's Welcome To The Machine.
Actually, the album from cover to music brings Wish You Were Here to mind. It feels a very cohesive package like WYWHere. I still just wish there was a touch more kick along the way. The drums are so thin and there could have been a bit of a push.
Still absolutely hooked so far.

I wish I felt this way. Tranquility Base is 10 times better than this. I still can’t believe Helders is okay doing this with his incredible talent.

Both of these are true.
I want more Helders.
I love the new album.

Perfect Sense is lovely.
I wonder if we’ll ever get to hear outtakes of this and TBH&C to see if there are fuller band versions.
