It is true that this doesn't sound like LB, FD, or MYM, but I've gotten the sense from the reviews that these are, if not outliers, not indicative of the album as a whole.

I'd prefer to hear someone come out and say that this was amazing, but I've never had that reaction to a single pearl jam album on first listen, and I wouldn't expect to find that here, especially under these circumstances.

I am continuing to maintain, as I've basically done throughout, that these reviews are useful for giving us a sense of what types of songs these are, and that's it. I said that before we heard anything.

Maybe they just don't show their excitement because Germans are like that.

We are miserable all the time.

Just looking for some original thoughts to pass the time.

Guys, I found a snippet of the new SBM!

If it sounded anything like that I would love it.

Mike, can you make an 8-bit version with a normal voice over?

I wouldn't know how to remove the Uke if thats even possible. I just sometimes fool around in Cubase a little. I don't know much about audio-stuff.
