cha-ching!

PRAMG strikes again
These don't bother me because they are utterly dispensable. If I was a collector I'd be into this. If I'm not, I lose absolutely nothing by ignoring this one. it's the same thing as buying multiple copies of No Code to get all the 'cards'
Most PRAMG behaviors have a Pre PRAMG antecedent.

What a waste of materials though. And plant pressing space and time.

I’m getting the Amazon variant since all the others double their charge for shipping and handling.

It's obvious why they sat on this album for so long now! They've spent the last 1-2 years pressing all these colored variants. Lol

"Additionally, CBS Sports March Madness coverage will feature 3 songs from the new album including “Running”."

So how much basketball do I actually have to watch today to confirm that this will just be Running, Dark Matter and the clip of Something Special we already heard?

We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

Seems to be the case.
There's been better descriptions about beer and tequila this morning than any coherent description about what this album actually sounds like.
Great job London !!

My man on the inside is reporting from his experience at a listening party.
1. If you like songs like Scare Of Fear you will like Scared of Fear
2. React Respond is a heavy foot pounder.
3. Waiting For Stevie is somewhat like a old style of Pearl Jam but not like anything from 91-21
4. Wreckage is Ed's impersonation of Tom Petty covering Wild Horses
He also reported that 10c members in Riot gear made them look into a gun like device with spiraling green and yellow lights for 12 seconds on the way out the door. As a side note only Ed was allowed to wear a hat . All other hats were collected and donated to Roger Water's charity.

Did they give an example of what "type" of song this would be comparable to, other than itself?

Nothing on Binaural or RA is punk.

I would never, ever call gods, breakerfall, save you, get right “punk”.

Not close.

Running is honestly the closest and best. MYM was an attempt failed miserably.

Green Disease is punk if we're saying something like Supersonic is
