    I like the Waterfalls a lot more than self titled.  

    On another note, hoping they bring out Magic Bullet this tour.

    This would probably be 5th or 6th for me but nothing is touching the first 4!

    Just got through with my first listen...

    The tracks that stand out to me are all on side 2: Beginning From The Ending, Die For It, and River Road.

    On the whole, I'm hearing some new things and them stretching out while at the same time grounded in what makes MMJ, MMJ. Can't wait to hear the tracks live as some of them have the potential to reach double digits like PWW, SE, and D.

    It’s probably a little early to rank the album but here’s my feeling right now. I see 3 distinctive chunks (1-4; 5-7; 8-10):

    1. Z
    2. ISM
    3. TTF
    4. AD
    -------
    5. C
    6. W1
    7. Is
    -------
    8. EU
    9. W2
    10. MMJ

    I won't place "Is" yet.  Need about 50 more listens and hear the songs live. I realize my list may be unpopular with other MMJ fans.  

    Z
    Evil Urges
    At Dawn
    Circuital
    It Still Moves
    The Tennessee Fire
    Waterfall 2
    Waterfall 
    Self titled 

    And I got to hear my top 3 from front to back live!

    Cobra (I kid I kid, but seriously)
    It Still Moves
    Z
    At Dawn

    The first 3 can move weekly, then:
    Evil Urges
    Circuital
    Waterfall
    Self Titled
    Waterfall 2
    Tennessee Fire

    So far I enjoy Is but nothing is really sticking out at this point, but we'll see.

    I want to put a conspiracy theory out there that they named it "is" because it alphabetically comes right before "It Still Moves"
  • nicknyr15nicknyr15 Posts: 8,858
    Not bad. No meandering 8 min songs which is a plus. Some great tracks, some decent and 1 or 2 I’ll never listen to again. I’m sure some of these will sound amazing live.

    First few listens are good even though I am not a big fan of Brendan O’Brien’s productions. This album is very listenable. It has a nice flow.

    unless you are a fan, meh... 

    EDIT: After a proper listen, 6 songs I dig, not a bad album. Not sure why I keep jumping the gun lately on albums, need to get back to my listening in full experience.

    Finally listened to it today. Overall I liked it. Nothing really stood out after one listen though. I do think it's better than their previous two albums though.

    The new album is definitely better than the last two but there isn't a track that can touch Wasted off The Waterfall II.

    No argument there. It is missing that one epic jam but very good start to finish.

    On first listen I thought this song was as lame as it gets. After a few more, it's a lot of fun. I think that's one of the things MMJ does best. Solid album, some of these should fit nicely into the sets for the upcoming tour and I'm looking forward to that. Vinyl is fairly well done as well.

    Same. Jim either changed his sig or got tired of signing that day because it looks nothing like anything else I have signed by him.

    That might be Bo's signature since it's right near him. I'm thinking Jim's is in the middle on the bottom.

    I’m not really feeling most of it honestly. It’s not terrible though, besides track 4. I’ll never listen to that song again. I tend to like their songs live way better, I don’t know what it is. They haven’t really done much for me from a studio standpoint since Z but they absolutely ROCK live and are one of the best live acts around.
