    And now let's throw in Ragoo, Trunk and True Love Way as my front-runners along with On Call and Arizona. These guys did so damn good.

    And Knocked Up's drums make me think Larry Mullen Jr, all day long. And that's a good thing....he's such a simple and clean drummer.

    agreed although I'm not a fan of U2 I love the U2 influence on this album. Trunk is so good correct.

    Absolutely.

    I'm still hating on 'Charmer' and 'My Party'.

    But the rest is top notch.
    Are you too good to tango with the poor poor boys?

    I love them since the beginning, and this is a great album.

    Caleb's voice got even better, and it reminds me of Ed's, not the tone but the intensity.

    Anyway, can't fucking wait for Nijmegen, most insane gig ever.

    The Runner is my favorite song. I love this band. Hopefully they do a full US tour soon.

    Knocked Up
    McFearless
    Black Thumbnail
    True Love Way
    Fans
    Ragoo
    The Runner
    Trunk
    Arizona

    All pretty stunning to me. Still in heavy rotation.

    I'm so glad these guys didn't fold up. They could have easily made a shitty record.

    Amazon has put up a cover for the album, it has a shattered light-bulb on it.

    I do like.....

    But I'm more amazed at that pitch he reaches! I only wonder is that range natural or can he only reach that high by squeezing his legs together.

    Charmer is darling....in that odd sort of way.

    when does this come out? and how does a guy get into a crowd that gives him access to this kind of thing? how do you all always get these things?
  • Dick JonesDick Jones Posts: 777
    22,000 posts and you can't find a leak? Haha, that seems impossible. And it comes out April 2nd/3rd.

    i can from people on the board occasionally. im wondering where they get them. i somehow doubt that people steal the master tapes and run to the pj message board.

    I wonder if we will see some B-Sides?

    Or hopefully another Bonnaroo EP atleast.

    Something with live cuts from the album.

    Now I'm positive that this album is brilliant...

    I've just decided to actually put it on one of my 3 iPods.

    If this damn album makes it to all 3 iPods it will be deemed a "classic" ;) !
