I even took drumming classes last year and enjoyed the hell out of it!

Yeah, that's bonkers. This sounds like nothing on Yield, melodically or aesthetically.
there's a definitely very "In Hiding" guitar riff break on those door clips; the production isn't gonna be as natural as Yield was but I don't think it's a crazy comparison

I just meant with that one song.

Yeah, I remember the song you're talking about from the clip - I actually did think In Hiding from one of the tunes.

The little fragment with vocals that we got already tells us that it is not bad.

Clips clearly imply best album since '95 status
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 wouldn't be surprised if it improved on Gigaton and that's more than I hoped for; I want to be able to do this with their post-Riot Act work

1. Dark Matter
2. Gigaton
3. S/T
4. Backspacer
5. Lightning Bolt

I don't think they'll top Gigaton, but I think this album could easily be better than the other 3.

agreed at the moment; I could also be happy with an album that's as good as Gigaton in a different way

I'd be ecstatic. And I don't think it's impossible.

So is it fair to say that the wiki clip is technically not a leak? PJ would obviously be able to take it down if they wanted to, which tells me this is probably a planned teaser.

So hello, no leak club... this one's a freebie, have at it!

If DM can’t beat 4 and 5, it will be an epic calamity.

I too would like it to top this list. I like gig just fine, but it did not age as well as I expected.

I think for me it’s tied with Avo.

Outlier shot this could be wonderful and creep to yield echelon, but I’m not counting on it.
