It makes MFS sound pretty insubstantial, which is a shame. I was hoping that it would bridge MYM and Sirens successfully...
Not at all. I think it makes "Sirens" sound weak.

Ahh the acoustic and drums sound sooo much better on Swallowed Whole, that just jumped it up my pile a bit. Pendulum was awesome too, not what I was expecting at all.

The title track is still whatever. It's a song. Move on.

Yeah - I'm just up to this, and it's not too bad actually.

Yeah I wasn't meaning in terms of quality. I just thought MFS sounded "smaller" than Sirens, but that's to do with Sirens being too long, and MFS being too short. I thought it should be the other way round.

Give it an hour, broski. There'll be a rip up soon, I guarantee it.
Thank for the reassurance. This delay of my own making will hopefully soon be nothing more than a mere inconvenience.

Now, can you get to work on possibly stopping my boss from his incessant babbling on this phone call so I can focus all of my energy on new album listening anxiety? Thanks!
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…

There was a real lack of a melody I thought. It was alright.
