I’m feeling uncomfortable about going. Where will everyone stand? What about the people there just to shop? Will i be in their way? Will they be watching me and judging me? Ugh. I may not go

Walk in and pretend you thought you were showing up for the Taylor Swift listening party instead

I'll be the guy with the tape measure and scale offering free BMI calculations on the spot.

Just came back from an Amsterdam listening event.
Its a bit of a weird surrounding, and not the best speakers. But some first impressions.
Overall its strong! It has some of that cathartic energy that we all fell for in the 90s. The band didnt sound this energyzed since a long long time.
Scared of fear is a strong opener that felt as a logical successor of 'who ever said'. React respond was one of my favorites. It has 'jeff' written all over it. From 'my fathers son' to 'quick escape' was a huge step forwards. Now, take that step again! Wreckage, wont tell and upper hand are all midtempo. But sounded great. I really enjoyed upper hand. WFS was really old school PJ done by modern day PJ. Cant wait to hear it again. It has a huge Mike solo supported by ferocious fills from Matt. Running worked great as an album track! Something special should have been a b-side. Its a fun Kinks like song, but the only misstep here. Got the give and setting sun sounded great again. But really needed more listens.

Can you draw comparisons to other songs either by them or other artists?
