Well, not "ahead of the game." But if they did what you suggested, it would have been back on schedule with this single. I don't care that the 2016 single was recorded in 2017. But it just proves that they didn't even consider what to put on it until it was already months late. Which means by the time it is all said and done its an entire year late. It really can't be that hard to find material. Unless they plan to do something with Wrigley '13, anything from that show or Murphy's would be a hit. It's not like they;d have to get in the studio for a single, they have plenty of material that we'd love to hear all just sitting in storage. That's what I don't get.
Hell, another Pendulumorphisis type recording would be find by me. Any type of studio outtake/demo/rework etc. I'll be super happy with anything I haven't heard before.
As for this particular single....musically speaking....
I listened to it through headphones this morning and loved it.
1. Alive-Criticism that I have read has to do with the fact that we have heard this 1000's of times at this point in our fandom. Big whoop that Dave K. is back on drums...forget what you have read and pay attention to what you hear--and that is a tight band (even with an "out of the loop" drummer, that rips through one of their standards like they still enjoy it. McCready slays the solo as if this is one of his favorite songs ever....top notch work by a group of guys who still sound like they love their chosen profession. And this was only a rehersal take.
2. Around and Around-Criticism that I have seen says that Eddie just goes through the motions...f that. It isn't a song in which he can flex his vocal muscles....it is a song written by Chuck Berry in the late 50's and a song that has been covered by the Stones and the Dead. I think Eddie's vocals hold up against all three versions that I have heard....again the band pulls it off and McCready's riffing is something to behold....so worth the listen on decent headphones for me (where the separation between the instruments is far clearer to my ears). Killer cover and worth the space on the vinyl....

Awesome! Hopefully I'll get to listen sometime soon.
The explanation is typo so maybe the person putting together the artwork had 2016 typed then thought "wait... That can't be right. It will be 2018 in just over a month"

When your process is flawed your product often reflects that.

Interesting that there were nothing but complaints that it was so late, but now that it's been released we have.... more complaints.
Interesting that it's been released, yet no one with a digital membership has it yet.
Yep. Nothing has changed for those of us who are digital.
or analog. we don't have the files either.
True. But some analog members have received the physical package at least so that's progress I guess. For me, I don't care about the magazine and I've heard the RRHOF version of Alive a dozen times. I just want to hear the new cover song. That's it.
I’m convinced now more than ever that 2016 was gonna be temple of the dog related. After chris they changed their minds. I’d bet 2017 is more of a tribute to chris rather than a “special temple of the dog issue”
"Well, I think this band is incapable of sucking."
