*SPOILER* New Album Discussion

[ratsprayer]

i dont seem to like 'anytime' at all right now, but like a lot  of people, i think this has a lot of things to absorb through multilple listenings.  however, just after 2 listens ive come to accept and actually like the drums in 'in to the woods'.  maybe it was a late night car ride or will take more getting used to, but i dont seem to live the overall production.  if theres one thing jim knows, its reverb.  it seems uneven and not cohesive at certain moments.  ill probably have different thought every day for a while, so its still early. overall, its fucking excellent and im just talking about the minute things i dont care for too much, instead of gushing too much too soon!   ;D ;D

yeah, i'm not feeling anytime yet, either. it's not gonna stop me from trying, though.

Word.  The fact that we aren't feeling it yet probably just means that sweatboard is right, it's going to be their biggest hit yet.

I love the way he sings "to" in "is this climbing up TO the moon"  Yeah, at first I thought it was a little awkward the way it goes into the chorus and I wasn't sure if the chorus and verse suited each other perfectly but after hearing it a few times I have come to relize it does flows well it's just a case of an amazing verse section and an amazing chorus section batteling for supremecy.  They're both so fucking good you can't believe they're both in the same song.  Once I stopped trying to figure out which one I wanted to focus on as the engine of the song and just heard the song as a whole it started coming together.  At this point it just absolutly kills me from start to finish.

[darkglow]

favorite part of the whole song is at the beginning where he says "daamn.."

and then i love the high "aaaahh aahh ahhh"s

[darkglow]

you know, i'm talking to megan in the shows thread, and then i come back to this spoiler thread, and i think to myself how much it's killing her to not click on this thread and read it all and just say "fuck it someone send it to me please".. i dunno if they'll make it until october 5..

if they do make it that long.. here's our chance to trash talk them as much as we want without them knowing anything about it  ;D

[benwa67]

ok i'm dying.. i tried not to read and now i have and i can't find any of the tracks anywhere... if someone would be so kind to provide info i'd really appreciate it.

[bmurph73]

Ok - can anyone here help me find the new album? I nearly had a heart attack when I found out they delayed the released date. I need a fix badly. Anyone? Help!

[utonynashm]

I have listened to it several times now...

[darkglow]

WHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT???

hell no

[utonynashm]

it doesnt live up to ISM and stuff...idk...

Mayeb it's the mood im in...Like even at dawn and the tennessee fire are hit and miss

[darkglow]

i just went out for a drive with a friend who has a killer speaker system in his truck.. and it just multiplied how much i like this album by 10. off the record slams.

[walter_sobchak]

that's when it really hit me too, blasted it on the 405 on the way home yesterday...first time ever I was stoked on gridlock traffic.

[Steve Jones]

I know for a fact that this version isn't the mastered version, which should change a lot of the eq, and sound level of the record.....the stuff people are downloading can't be the final product.....

[utonynashm]

No I do LOVE it....not sure what i was thinking...

I was just hoping for more...different...

[aMillionDreams]

I don't know it for a fact, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was right.  I thought the sound levels were too uncompressed.  Especially Don Dante, I'd hate to master that track.  I'm glad to get the unmastered version, though, if that's what it is, because modern mastering is for the birds anyway.

[utonynashm]

how would this not mastered version get out?

[aMillionDreams]

They probably sent some unmastered version to Billboard or Rolling Stone or someone, to give them an advanced listen for an article or something and gave it to them under the understanding that is was yet unmastered.  I don't know any of this for a fact, but it's a possibility.

[outtamyhead]

is there anyway that anybody could supply me with the info about the leak at my email, cms64@cornell.edu

i will be indebted to you forever!!!
