    I don't say this for every band (probably not even most bands), but I think you should start at the beginning and go in order. This band has such a unique sound and grows so much from release to release; it's important to kind of grow with them.

    I'll be at the San Diego and the LA shows.

    The fact that they decided to play the HOB blows my fucking mind!!!

    Anyone think they will play the new album front to back on release night at Webster Hall?

    That's what I'm hoping for but I doubt it.

    I listened to the album for the first time last night when I went to bed, and then again this morning on the bus ride to work.

    So far I'm digging it, although some of the songs are very different to what the band have done before. But i'm grateful for that, because it's always good to try new things.

    Saying that, I think '17' is pretty awful. Revelry is also a bit subpar but might grow on me. The rest is very good.

    Me too!

    I've listened to it 10 times now. I hope I don't "play it out" even before it is officially released :).

    Okay, here's my breakdown.

    Closer - love the spacey sound to this. Almost as good as Knocked Up in terms of album openers.

    Crawl - another great one. Suck a badass riff. Very grungey.

    Sex On Fire - love it, played it to death though.

    Use Somebody - this is great as well but I always pictured it better in my head when I was listening to the snippet we heard in those home videos. Doesn't sound as epic.

    Manhattan - sounds waaaay too similar to Fans but this is still a quality track.

    Revelry - this is where the album slips. Just a boring track.

    17 - worst song on the album, Christmas bells sound a bit out of place.

    Notion - picks up the pace a bit. Love the vocals in this song.

    I Want You - rubbish

    Be Somebody - one of my favourites on the album, love the drumming and the sudden upbeat chorus.

    Cold Desert - Eh, this is just a boring album closer IMO. They needed a really hard rocking song.

    So yeah this album is good, not amazing though. Caleb needs to reign in his voice a bit. The songs are starting to blend into each other becuase his vocals all sound very similar on all of them. But if that's his style, then cool.

    I kind of get where you are coming from in terms of a couple of the tracks, but I don't think anything is unlistenable, and there are some WICKED songs on there. I think Closer is damn near genius, and I actually found Use Somebody to live up to my expectations, I especially love the bridge.

    I don't think this has been quite the same leap in progress that BOTT was from the previous record, but it's still an incredibly solid record.

    Yeah I do like Use Somebody. I think I just had unrealistically high expectations. The "I hope it's gonna make you notice..." bit gives me chills.

    Need to find the lyrics for that actually. Sounds like a situation that I can relate to.
