    I have an mp3 up on my blog (just see the sig and scroll down 1-2 subjects).

    They are on Saturday Night Live on May 10th as well.

    Yeah can't wait for their SNL performance. I like that they're finally getting some mainstream recognition too.
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    Well I've made it through the first 5 songs. I'm not sure what to think of the first 3, but I'm Amazed and Thank you Too are really cool

    After hearing Im Amazed i literally cheered saying "thats the my morning jacket i remember!"

    I'll have to listen to it a few times before i judge the entire album.

    I've listened to the album 3 times now and it is good. I don't think i'll end up liking it more then Z or It Still Moves, but i'm not sure where i'd rank it amongst Ten Fire or At Dawn yet.

    There are some rockers on the latter half of the album that is for sure.

    Renmats sounds like One Big Holiday's little brother. Probably has a lot to do with the drumming in the begining.

    And Highly Suspicious doesn't sound a thing like MMJ...

    no, it sounds like a dirty Prince song....
    I hate to put a bad taste in anyones mouth, but when i listen to highly suspicious, i feel like a pedophile. It just sounds like some raunchy kids song. I kinda like it, but for that reason i feel wierd listening to it.

    See, I think it's kinda raunchy too... I love it :o

    Yep that is how it is supposed to be.

    I thought i might have had a bad copy at first as well but good intentions is really not a "song"

  • I can't stop listening to it... I went to sleep with it on last night and travelled to work with it this morning :o

    'I'm Amazed' really is... urm... amazing! Tbh though, there isn't a song I dislike on the album.

    Here, anyone else think 'Thank You Too' sounds a bit 70's?

  • this album is amazing as a whole. to those who don't like the experimentation, to me, that's what mmj is, a band with great fundamentals who loves to experiment. i can't really compare this with any of their other albums, which to me is how it should be. as a fan of pearl jam, i can truly appreciate a band progressing their sound with each album. overall, though, there was a lot of talk about this year being a weak one musically. With warpaint (black crowes), attack & release (black keys), and evil urges, for me this is shaping up to be one of the better musical years in recent memory

    I did not catch the 70's vibe there but i do think it is a very good song. A great ballad.
