bram...I am almost in the same boat as you, regarding my approach to this new album and feeling surprised. It's almost like knowing where your parents hid your Christmas presents and resisting to open or peek in them. It could be exactly what you were dreaming of, found out that they bought you something you absolutely can't stand, or somewhere in between. At the end of the day, the gift was gift enough, but as a kid that didn't click in. I think it keeps the experiences new and exciting, or you lull yourself into the same mode, which has personally cost me a lot of time searching for answers I probably didn't need most of the time- the emotional responses the music gave me anyways simply by waiting. It all comes down to how quick the immediate gratification needs to be had, and its slowed for me
