Sound quality is terrible. It feels like a bootleg someone captured on a hand held tape recorder at an indoor concert. But it gives you the vibes of the songs.

The excitement has heightened to a frenzy for me. I've seen the arc of my personal exhilaration for this album run from:
-Pining at the thought
-Thinking we were close, then disappointment because we weren't.
-A taste with the release of singles and snippets.
-Absolute glory and exhilaration as the week has come, there's a file on my phone should I choose to listen, and terrificly fun reviews and emotions coming from each of you.

Feels like I'm in that space where, errr, "gratification" is inevitable, and immediately achievable, but am just enjoying this feeling so much and that I'll only benefit from holding on until Tuesday night in the theater.

For now, that's the plan and then I'll listen to the iPhone recording on my drive back home from the theater.

I might imbibe too much today and abruptly change course, however. You never know!

Saying this publicly. This one is obvious as all fuck. It’s resting on laurels.

In time people will see Gigaton as the more important and interesting one.

Mark my words.

I’m with you! I don’t mind listening to the phone version after listening to the clean version on Tuesday.
