just wait guys, it's not even mastered, so it won't sound like it should. There's a reason it's not out yet, so don't worry.

The sound quality on the leak apparently blows, or is not right. So just download some bittorrents of the bonnaroo show and some others and enjoy those...their just as rockin (if not moreso) as an unmastered bootlegged early copy of an MMJ masterpiece

Perhaps this shitty leak version really is the unmastered one - can't see how that could happen, but maybe it really is so. Still, you guys are kidding yourselves if you think the album hasn't yet been mastered. The album has been mastered for some time now.

The new album rocks!!! I don't care if it's unmastered or not, it's pretty damn good. If this isn't the final version, great, I'm buying the new album when it comes out either way because I believe in supporting my favorite band. Downloading it and then deleting it is stupid, give it a listen, satisfy the curiosity and get a taste of it. I'm certainly  not deleting it, I'll be jamming it until the new one comes out.

I think every song is pretty solid, "into the woods" is one of the best songs on this album. "off the record" is an all around mind blower and the type of song you won't be able to get out of your head. This album seems a lot more detailed instrumentally, just so many different sounds and lil things you notice each time you listen. I think this album will fit in quite well with the rest of the MMJ albums.

WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYONE GETTING THE NEW ALBUM FROM. I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE.  PLEASE HELP!

son of a bitch... I am so mad that I'm listening to the new album 3 months ahead of release date... I feel like I'm cheating on my girlfriend or something... oh well... It feels so good.

this reminds me of a harley shirt they used to make that said:  
riding a honda is like fucking a fag, it feels good until someone sees you doing it.

best.t-shirt.ever.

chunt983

??? wtf? I just don't get that shirt? I don't care if someone saw me fuck a fag or not, i'm not going to get any enjoyment out of that no matter who sees it. I thought the saying was "fat girls are fun to ride until your friends find out or something"

the one i saw was about having sex with a fat girl and riding a moped

What is the big secret.  How did you all get the new album.  Could someone please tell me where they got it.  I know i'm new to this board but i have been a MMJ fan for a while now and I really want to hear the new album mastered or not i don't care.

realdeal

kazaa,soulseek. but i would just wait it out for the mastered versions. i've heard half off the new album at their shows so i can wait a couple months for 5 more. you should too.

damn this album complete surpassed my expectations.

Bo and Carl contributed some interested changes and Patrick's gone in a really great direction with the drums.

So is this the final mix or are they making some changes? I've seen mentions that this is an early mix but it sounds really clean to me. I wonder if this will force them to move up the release date.  

blah blah blah

would that be Tommy talking backwards at the end?? yes it would be.....

wow.  I took about a month and about five times through the album, but I have fallen in love with 'Z'!  Some parts are still a little hard for me to stomach ("babies in blenders" and whatnot) but it's a masterpiece!  Great guitar work.  I wonder how much is Carl and how much is Jim, but we'll probably never know.  I also wonder if they used Carl vocal or if they stuck with Jim's harmonies.  Give her another listen.

only five times?  im not sure how many times ive gone through the entire thing, but i think i listen to lay low at least once a day.  i just told my wife last night in the car i wouldnt mind if that song were about 37 minutes long.  i think in general im expecting to hear a lot of shit if people post first-time listening thoughts before they think about it.  im still trying to digest anytime and even, what a wonderful man, but the album unfolds more with each listen.

glad to hear people are digging it, i'm unfortunately disappointed...definitely a step back for them imo.  

"knot comes loose" is brilliant.  i wish he stick with more songs like that.  

"off the record" sounds like hawaii five o.  

i miss the silo.

Okay, I'll admit as I was disappointed at first, especially with "Anytime" and "Gideon" (reminds me of MMJ covering Coldplay, for some reason).  The album as a whole, though, is starting to grow on me and I know once I see all of these songs live I will finally fully appreciate it.  

Little things I love about the album:

- When everything drops out after the whistling in "It Beats For You."  Just drums and bass.  Awesome. (By the way, can anyone confirm that that is Andrew Bird?)

- The Dracula impression at the end of "What A Wonderful Man."

- How everything builds and builds to the finale of "Into The Woods."  Very spooky.  It seems like the tail-ends of all the tracks are just so strong on this album.

Serious question for everyone who's listened: How many of these songs can you see cracking your Top Ten MMJ Tracks?  I definitely enjoy Z but I'm not sure if I can say that any song (save "Don Dante" possibly) is up there.

Fuck, why am I in here?

Fuck fuck fuck.

I am SO jealous.  DAMN IT.

Oh you cold October, get your ass a-comin'!!

yes personally, Dondante and Lay Low would be in my top 10.
