I am sure it has been mentioned, but the album is now available for download on Itunes.
Also Mind Your Manners has gone back into the top 100 singles, and Sirens back into the top 50 on ITunes. Not sure that has any meaning whatsoever.

PJ - if you're out there - hear the message loud and clear. "Yes yes please please more of this... keep chasing that rabbit down this hole!"
LB sounds more BS to me than it does No Code.
There's nothing on LB to make you go "WTF?!" like say, "Who You Are" "In My Tree" "I'm Open" or "Smile."
(yes you go "WTF?!" after LTRP, SBM and FD but for totally different reasons).
PJ Different weird = good
PJ Different sappy keyboard folk songs/sitcom themes = bad
That is only really three songs on the album though. And the three WTF moments off of No Code you mentioned are some of the most beloved songs on that album. I'm Open, Habit, and Around the Bend are the shitty WTF moments for me on that album, and I am not sure I prefer them over the Lightning Bolt songs mentioned. Either way, No Code is a great album despite the moments where it goes to shit. The good is that good.
Pendulum is kind of a WTF moment, in a good way.
My favorite song on the album so far. I voted for Getaway because it seemed under represented, but Pendulum is really freaken good.

Yeah. That was pretty weak. I'm trying to download a copy of the album to see if the bonus content is in it, but it's telling me it'll be an hour till it finishes downloading.

So, 10C exclusive digital content is what then, exactly? Can't quite figure it out. I have 8 mins left on my FLAC download... maybe it's in there?

It's pretty good. But it's no live Betterman, I suppose.

Exclusive, black and white arthouse performance of the 1st single off the tenth studio album from the legendary grunge rockers!
Oh, and Matt plays it too fast....
Would actually have been real cool if there were live performances of the entire album shot this way...

wait a minute, are you serious? the "exclusive digital content available only to 10 club members" is a video of one song? a song that we've had for months and for which multiple live videos are widely available?
fuck you bierman

Exclusive for 5 minutes until someone uploads to youtube
Actually Ed does a decent job - this is probably the definitive live version right here (though it's probably from multiple takes).
