this sounds goooooooooooood

Y'know, I told myself I would hold off on listening to the album until its official release and yet went to hear the sample on Amazon without hesitation.  I guess what I meant is, I won't seek out illegal, leaked tracks.

Also, after hearing this little 10-20 second snippet, my imagination continued the song in my head and it was an epic jam, powerful guitar and horns and just awesome! 

I'm hoping if my imagination can conjure up such a thing, it might turn out to be a surprisingly poignant track.  Maybe I'm setting myself up for disappointment, but I doubt it.

I don't want to hear samples.  I'm afraid I'll get a massive case of blue ears.

yeah, Johnny, be careful doing that.  I've been let down many times after doing just that.
But...this is MMJ so you're probably spot on.

Ha, I did the same thing. No will power when it comes to this band whatsoever.

The hook on that bassline is so badass and could also be what takes them to sold out arena show status.  If it's the first single we could be in for a smells like teen spirit type of reaction.

I hope that's not the case.  I'm not even sure how the music industry works these days.  Can a band that is really a legit band and doesn't go out of thier way to make themselves a comodity even become super huge at this point.  In some ways I want the world to embrace mmj because it could only make the world a better place.  In some ways I just want them to fly under the radar because it would make for better shows and cut out a bunch of bullshit.
