Yeah, good observation. Both are more interesting than Sometimes You Can't..., for example.

Fuck, The Troubles is AMAZING.
I'm very happy with it. Two listens in. Not feeling Miracle, but I don't hate it or anything.

I just really don't care much for Volcano and Raised by Wolves so far >_>. I like the first five and then the album hits a brick wall for a minute, before ending really strong.

Opposites! It wasn't till track 6 that it really caught my interest.

Volcano reminds me of the Strokes.

I just can't get by the lyrics and the "Santa Barbara" chants for the music to save it.
I'm already dropping it in my revised version.

Track 5 for me.
Adam's bass on Isis
Yeah, I'm not saying I dislike the first 5, they all seemed to have interesting aspects to me...but on first listen (which is innately unfair to judge any music on) they seemed to be more ballad-y/mid-tempo-y bland, and if I had to be honest, what dragged them down a little to me was the vocals. When I hear Bono singing like that, it makes me wish he'd do more interesting, crooner-type material. But the music and production of them was fine. It all seemed to come together and become more interesting, vocals included, to me on track 6.
But I'm already changing my opinion of some of the first five, so take it with a grain of salt.

Fuck yeah.
And I love the transition into Cedarwood Road. It's like "you thought we wouldn't string three rockers in a row? Well fuck you, here's another."

I will say this, my impression of the two increased exponentially the second time I heard them. I can't wait to get home so I can hear this on my headphones.

I like Iris. (Although I'm embarrassed to say it took me two full listens to remember that his mom was named Iris and realize it was about his mom. Oops.)
I'm very happy right now.

This kills a lot of the early tracks, then he eases off.

Iris feels like Love Comes Tumbling's older brother.

Yup. Content here, too. Told Sarah, who just moved and is internetless, that I'm not sure how the general public will like it, but I think it will be regarded by fans and critics higher than No Line.

That's so nice of you to say, thank you. I kind of operate under the assumption that I'm a non-entity, and no one notices either way.

Lots of posters crawling out of the woodwork, which is cool. Even if it's someone I don't interact with, I recognize the usernames and am all like "Hey, it's Harry Vest! He hasn't been around in a while."

I apologize for not welcoming back the likes of Dalton and VP, I unfortunately am trying to listen to this in the midst of having a huge work project dumped in my lap so my focus is shaky at best.

After 14 years posting here today might be the most I've ever posted in a day. Maybe. Good thing I took a day off work today. *cough*

Better than the Goo Goo Dolls' Iris, but inferior to Live's Iris.

Between this and Destiny, I wish so badly I could have taken today off... FINALLY heading home.

Yeah, I've been thinking about how I could scam tomorrow off, even though I had a vacation week last week. My job is nutsy-coo-coo. The internet isn't outlawed at my job, I just don't have time to log on for non-work stuff, beyond maybe glancing at the weather forecast, or something.

It's funny that I would never have thought of tampering with the band's track orders/outtakes before, but 2000- they've second-guessed themselves so many times I feel I'm free to do the same, starting with the idiotic last-minute reordering on ATYCLC.
None of these tracks are bad enough for me to drop, but there's no way I'm letting Invisible become another Mercy (not that it's that good, but still).

Dalton's back?
This place is like the mothership calling us home, on a day like today.
