    Same. I also just realized I guess I got 'Running' as a download for buying the vinyl from 10C. Also, realizing they should just give me a digital version of the album due to the price of this thing.
    I think they give you the whole album when it's out... which doesn't explain why we just got a dl for a song that came out a month ago.

    Nice sweep. Hopefully first of many. Redeemed my Phillies 5k ticket offer for last nights game and got rewarded with that gem from Ranger. Is this the beginning of the Ranger Cy Young campaign?

    Album is much better than Gigaton, imo.  
    Some songs I'm looking forward to hearing live, which is fun to think of.  
    Can't say I love Wreckage so far but some of the others I very much like.

    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Wait, so we *will* get the whole album? This would be the normal, cool thing to do.

    I think so - I bought the album, not the Running single, so it would be weird if they just provided the Running single. (again, which came out like a month ago)

    Oh and the vinyl isn't coming until Monday. Whatever I basically just stream everything. I have years to go to get my house back to sit in the leather chair and just listen to records smoking a cigar. (just kidding I could never smoke indoors)

    You know what cracks me up is all the different color vinyls. It's called "Dark Matter" - maybe just make the vinyl, like, black?

    I like Gigaton but, yeah, I agree it's a lot better. Probably their most consistent album from start to finish since the 90's.

    Hmmmm, good point. I prop up Riot Act & Binaural, especially Binaural, pretty high, too. 

    I have to listen to this whole album and get back to you.

    You all know I'm an Avocado stan. I'd say Big Wave is pretty mediocre and Parachutes isn't for everyone but everything else rulz.

    So they do give you the album. And the option for FLAC at that. Sweet.

    Album's growing on me, quickly - definitely blows Backspacer-through-Gigaton out of the water.

    btw I don't know how much of a nerd any of you guys are for audio, but I've really leaned into the nerdom lately (without having a huge wallet for investing in this stuff). I've gotten into what I would call "value budget audiophile" equipment over the last 4/5 years, and kinda wish I did it earlier. I know there are peeps that invest like $10/20k+ in this stuff (and maybe they're in here, and hell yeah btw!), but I don't see myself ever doing that.

    Listened to it twice. First impression, i liked it a lot. There were a few songs I didn't care for at first (Won't Tell and Upper Hand). Maybe they'll grow on me. Did like Scared of Fear, React/Respond and Waiting for Stevie a lot.

    I think if this came out in 1999 nobody would complain.
