“Props to producer Andrew Watt for really dialing in the drums on the album.”

They were ridiculously wealthy, in their late twenties, after their debut.
The subsequent records came out pretty well.
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…

I feel like I should have put in for a review code or something. They’re handing out the album to anyone who knows how to type.

These reviews are terrible. What's up with the band's PR team? Give Stip a copy and let him write a review. It'll be ten times better than this crap.

Yeah these reviews really suck. Half of them feel the need to ramble on at the start about the recording process, or ticketmaster, or a bunch of other crap, then proceed to completely skip most tracks and offer little to no descriptions. "The album opens with a riff
""there's even a song about parenting!" come on!

These reviews are the most effective, inadvertent advocation for a return to pre-internet journalistic standards that I think I've ever seen.
Barely comprehensible dog-shit.

Can we have one review that doesn't mention Ticketmaster, Ten, Kurt Cobain, or shying away from early fame? Please?!

It's gonna be a pretty steep hill, given the way it's been discussed.

Is the expectation the equivalent of an unreleased five-star gem from the 1990-1993 era, at this point?
Are we going to be disappointed if it's any less than that?

We're a smart bunch around here. I'd like to think we can hear this while adjusting for age, time, and reality.

I don't know. I'm as guilty as anyone of getting swept up in the hype.
