Just hurry up and get to Got to Givetragabigzanda wrote:Alright, Ed started singing the first lyrics to Waiting for Stevie and I caught myself smiling. I can see why someone would say this is an amazing late-career album for them, if you don't care about audio quality.
I'll eat half my hat right here and now: Wotman got GREAT performances out of these guys. But he and Ghanea can't mix an album for shit, it's really a bummer.
You should just send the phone recordings. Are we talking 320kbps for this new leak? I'm curious, I think I can wait another couple days after the theater last night but the temptation is there if good quality.E.H.

At least it sounds better than 'Self-Titled', listened to that one recently and my god are those drums harsh.tragabigzanda wrote:Alright, Ed started singing the first lyrics to Waiting for Stevie and I caught myself smiling.

So we are gonna buy this together!tragabigzanda wrote:I feel comfortable weighing in on songwriting and sequencing now. I need to let the recency bias wear off and see if this is something I could listen to regularly. It is VERY harsh to my ears, just horrid production. But a few of these songs are definitely great.Monkey_Driven wrote:Wondering if Trag's two week sabbatical starts when he finishes the first listen or when the album actually releases.
