    No just snippets from someone standing in line for popcorn at the other Cinema next doors.

    I really liked what I heard.
    I wasn't able to go, but someone sent me an audio recording. Recording was actually pretty good, better than what I expected, but still looking forward to hearing the legit version. 

    I didn't care for DM or Running as singles. I liked DM better with the flow of the album. As a whole, first impressions were better than LB and Gigaton (low bar, I know). I expect it to settle in there around Avocado and Binaural after a few listens. I could see some of the songs really liking. 

    Only song I didn't like was Setting Sun. From what I've been hearing, I was expecting Waiting for Stevie to be an instant favorite. It wasn't, it was good, but it wouldn't have stood out to me above the rest if I hadn't been reading about it. I was expecting Something Special to be awful, and it was okay. Not great, but not terrible. 

    That being said, I had similar feelings with Earthling. I really liked some of the songs after a few listens, but then quickly got tired of my favorites and its sat on the shelf for a while. I hope this one is different.

    I was not completely blown away by Stevie at first (the hype is nuts) but the second playback with the lyrics showing---yeah, man. It fucking rocks. Liked it a lot more the second listen.

    These songs are all going to have a much different feel live.  Cant wait.

    Theater I went to sucked. Sound was awful. Still enjoyed the 1st play through but really enjoyed the 2nd … with the lyrics. Helped since the sound was bad.  

    Always takes a bunch of listens for the likes vs meh tracks shake out. But I loved:

    scared
    react, respond 
    Dark matter
    upper hand
    Waiting for Stevie 
    running 

    liked:
    The rest. Except for something special. I’ll use it at my daughter’s wedding eventually …might get me to shed a tear when she heads of to college in 1.33 year though

    The sound at the theater last night was not good.  The album seems great, but that sound there was pretty bad.  Where I was sitting, I could barely hear drums or any bass.  Hell, i could barely hear Mike's solos.  It was a bit of a mess and is going to sound way better on my home stereo.

    What was the message from Jeff at the beginning?
    It was essentially "Thanks for coming out tonight and all these years. We're excited about the record. See you on the road." Looks like it was filmed at HQ.
    He also told people they should dance and sing along to the second playback if they were so inclined. No one at my theater danced, but some people sang along to "Dark Matter" and "Running" the second time. (I was one of them.) Those songs both got really enthusiastic responses. 
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    I was waiting for the camera to pull back and reveal a guy in a balaclava holding a machete

    Ha! Yes, definite hostage video vibes. Either that or he was about to be executed by the Blair Witch.
