This stuff isn't usually my style, but reading through the thread I felt I owed it a chance.
I'm enjoying this far more than I expected. I suspect that is at least partly because of the previously stated "old school" feels. Some funny stuff here (funny as in made me bust out a few smiles in response to some lines), and the beats certainly gets you going.
I'm only up to 'Stay Gold' but yeah, this is OK.

I'm having the opposite reaction, Trag. This grows on me with every listen. I had to put it on while driving home from the Coast last weekend while tired and it hit the sweet spot I needed to stay functional behind the wheel.
I saw these guys last week and they OWNED. One of the best shows I've been to in a long, long time. They even got the normally sedate Portland audience into a frenzy, right from the beginning. Great stuff.

These guys are playing in Chillicothe, IL at the Summer Camp festival, about 15 min. from my house. Problem is, they're on a side stage at a festival that is overrun by hippie jam bands (Moe, Umphrey's McGee, Trey Anastasio, Keller Williams, etc.). Real dilemma on my hands here, guys.

Walking in the Snow lyric: "and every day on the evening news they feed you fear for free. and you're so numb you watch the cops choke out a man like me. until my voice goes to a shriek to whisper 'i can't breathe'"

the point was how apropos the lyrics to not only that song, but most of the songs, are. it's like they were all written in the last 10 days.
firing squad is pretty great.

I havent dive into the lyrics yet, but i assume they talk about whats happening for a long time, or are they special tidbits about riots or stuff like that?

mostly the former. evidently a lot of reviews are mentioning how they re-recorded some tracks since last week. el-p debunked it, saying the album was written last year.
