I don't plan on listening to a single if one is released before the album is released. Nor any snippets for any songs. I don't even want to read anymore reviews - and I see some are creeping in this thread now. Kcuffers.

Is the only RM sanctuary now found in the Biff Pocoroba Diary thread?

Yep, I'm with you. No more MYM, no new single, no more reviews. I've digested enough to be hopeful and enthusiastic without having unrealistic expectations. So now.... I wait.

okay done. sorry. I thought some people in here said they were reading reviews, etc. but not listening.

maybe that was harmless

It was. And, five minutes after the leak he was listening to.

Did anyone really think harmless was going to make it past 5 minutes? If I remember, he was the one who voted to include the sound check leak on the acceptable list. Total bush league man!

Mind your manners guys, 's'all I'm sayin'.

I'd be impressed if there's anyone in this club who hasn't heard MYM yet.

I did that last album, totally banned The Fixer even though I ordered the 7". Didn't really feel the need to go that route again.

You should've kept it that way even after you got the album.

That thread seems to have a split personality. By day, things are much more positive. Led by you, stip and even harmless (who is trying so hard to remain hopeful... And doing a great job at it too ). But at night, the anti-PJ squad shows up... Chud, verb to trust, platypus, let me sleep, etc. and it just becomes a real shit show....

Nice view...i agree.

I wish someone would've at least warned me about the video. I might be able to tolerate that song if it weren't the video always being stuck in my head.

Obviously trolling needs to be accompanied by nightfall and smoke-filled dive bars.

i'm following skitch's rules pretty much... i've only listened to MYM... however, i will listen to anything that the band releases, so i'll listen to the next single when it comes out... and i'll watch the EPK if it gets released.. i'll watch them on Letterman or whatever they decide to do (if they decide to do it)... i've done all of that in the past and has never taken away from my first listen experience.

however, i am going to one of the shows before the album release, so i guess at that point, i will no longer be a part of the club... but it's not my fault the show in my area happens to be 3 days before the release of the album

With only 3 days before the release of the album you might pull a harmless and not feel guilty about it

Looking at that list of posters....nice men.

Nice men?? I think every one of them have given me the finger smiley at one point.

I haven't, but now I feel left out and wonder if I should.

I've never given it though. I feel like I should wait for something really important to happen before I use it.

Good choice, man. Don't make the same mistake I did, and squander it.

For me yes, i look forward to reading your reviews as well as what everyone else has to say about the songs, but just not before i get to hear them myself

Doc that thread went to utter shit around 100 pages. It's awful in there for a long time now. The break [from that mess] will do us all a bit of good.

I was enjoying it, but im pretty sure you are right
