    It’s fantastic. This album will kick ass if it’s this experimental. 
    Im with you on this. Been waiting for them to get experimental again for damn near 20 years now
    My feelings exactly! 😁 

    I love this! Lots of influences - Peter Gabriel, Bowie, Talking Heads, Television - but they still make it their own, too. 

    I'm sure there will be more familiar-sounding songs too, but I'm thrilled to see them cutting loose again. Been waiting for that since Yield!

    I like it.  First PJ song one could dance to.  Shows off their diversity.  To hear D of C and then Vegas 11/30/93 come on afterwards and yes it is the same band.  Nice!
    First PJ song you can dance to? If you haven't been dancing to You Are then you're really missing out.  
    Please post a video of yourself dancing to You Are....

    Riot Act in a different realm! You Are is a great likeness, yet not alike either! I love Riot Act, and even if a different arena altogether it's still awesome and a nice change of pace from Backspacer and Lughtning Bolt despite great songs on those two albums.
    Riot Act has aged wonderfully, better than almost any other PJ album, at least outside of the first big 3. I'm not saying it's my favorite album, but it has aged like a fine wine.
    Great album... Took me several years to figure that out

    This is much better than You Are
    BUT in 2002, You Are was like "What the hell?" Electronic sounding, unlike anything else we'd heard from them. etc.
    Not for me. I’ve never liked that one 
    The issue with You Are is its lyrics are cringeworthy 
    No.

    Hearing this has got me really stoked for the four-to-the-floor disco version of River Cross that's going to close the record.

    First thing, it’s different.  But, I really love it!   The song kinda has an 80’s rock vibe.  Very cool.

    A few more thoughts after repeated listens:

    The synths that I found so jarring in the preview clip - I barely register them now, with everything else that's going on.

    Wasn't a fan of the growly vocals in the verses at first but the penny soon dropped that Ed is hamming it up and adding some theatrics, so I fucking love this now.

    Total David Byrne vibes in the verses

    Total Bowie (specifically Ashes To Ashes) vibes in the "I know the girls wanna dance...." part.

    The chorus is understated and lovely.

    The whole thing is arranged immaculately.  The vocal interplay in the outro is so great. 

    Love Mike's jagged guitar tone. 

    Production is wonderful.   It doesn't sound as organic and 'live' as, say, No Code but it's a nice middle point between that and the overly slick and sterile (imo) Lightning Bolt.
