New album just dropped today. Haven't had a chance to dig into it yet but enjoyed the tracks they've released so far. Any feedback on this so far?

    Will it beat Queen on the billboard charts?

    We all need another Nicki Minaj breakdown.

    Halfway through and I like it. I'm not sure if I like it better than the last one though. There's usually about 3 - 4 standout tracks on each of their albums.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Only had one listen so far. It’s already better than the Dinosaurs one

    I haven’t got motivated to listen to this yet, the last one was so bad. The singles haven’t done much for me either.

    So much better than The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here.  I need a few more listens before I can say where it stands in respect to Black Gives Way To Blue which I really like.

    ^This. I listened to Rainer Fog last night. It's a "good" album, or maybe better to say it's not a "bad" album. I didn't hear any songs that are better than the last two releases. That doesn't mean I don't like the album, but nothing really clicking for me. Honestly, Comes With The Fall and Jerry's solo albums are much stronger than the post-Layne records IMO.

    I need to listen more than once to figure out how it stands. But I like it.

    I really liked The Devil Put Dinosaurs here, some great tracks on that one. Not sure why people hate on it so much.

    I don't know why, either. The back half of that album will fuck you up.

    Yeah really. It's a very good album. Much, much better than an album from another Seattle band from that same year.

    Agreed. Bit long, maybe, but some really solid stuff. Stone, Phantom Limb, Breath On A Window, Voices, Pretty Done - all really solid tracks. Still haven't gotten to listen to the new one but good to see positive reviews!
