Incredible!!!

I thought I'd like this one after reading these comments. And I mean really like it, not tolerate it. Alas... In fairness I might have liked the song more if the Sirens/LB/Infallible combo hadn't been plastering faeces all over my ears.

I may have just made peace how the song sounds, rather than how I'd like it sound, but this bugged me less when I listened to the song today.

'I could have liked this song if the others didn't suck so much'? Wait, does that even make sense?

I mean maybe if I had listened to this song on its own I might have liked it more, but after going through that shitstorm I just wanted the album to be over already and that probably didn't much good to my appreciation of what came after.

Well, man, you just went from weird to downright crazy with this 'clarification', but whatever

It's 'crazy' that when a part of an album bores/displeases you a lot you're gonna be in a less favorable mood for the remainder of the listen? Guess I'm crazy then.

Yes, you are!

The only song worth something in this awful, awful record.

Is it just me or is anyone expecting this song to be in a future Tarantino movie?

Wait, are you talking about Backspacer? LB is pretty good. I mean, not No Code good, but there are some nice little ditties on this one.

I think "nice little ditties" might be the problem for poster Bob Loblaw.

Ah, I see. He's looking for the Bob Loblaw Law Bomb, and this album just doesn't have it.

Right.
My wife says it belongs on the From Dusk Till Dawn soundtrack

I know this is a convo for another thread, but if you listen on an ipod, with 320kbps AAC, with decent (not Apple) earbuds, can you tell a difference between 320 AAC and Lossless / FLAC? Is there much difference between Lossless and FLAC? Are the differences worth the extra space?

I got the vinyl (still waiting), and downloaded the lossless. I haven't given it a proper listen on my ipod with my earbuds, but I did listen to LB in my car and it sounded so much fuller / dense than when I streamed it via iTunes. Granted, my car speakers are better then my computer speakers, but still. Regarding my computer speakers, they are some external ones that I bought for like $25. They aren't great, but leaps and bounds better than my laptop speakers.

So, as you can tell, I'm not mush of an audiophile, so I'm wondering if you can really tell the difference between 320 and Lossless? Or are there multiple factors? So like Lossless vs. 320 on my computer speakers, I'm thinking I won't really notice. However, 320 vs. Lossless listening on my ipod with decent earbuds, maybe I will? Or is the ipod / earbuds crappy devices, and the only way to really tell is to have lossless on good stereo equipment (like a good Harmon Kardon receiver) with good speakers (like at least mid shelf JBLs)? Even with good equipment, can you tell the difference between 320 and lossless?

Spoiler: show

can someone make one of those, please?
