I don't want to get anyone (or interference) in trouble, but the entire album leaked this morning.
If you decide to download, don't forget to support MMJ by purchasing the album June 10th

It's only 128 kbps, so I was reluctant to listen to it. I like my first listens to be in lossless or at least a really high bitrate. I couldn't resist for this one, though.
Six songs in and I've enjoyed every one. "Highly Suspicious" is so, so cool.

Yikes!
This isn't the MMJ I've grown to love.
What's with the weird falsettos and the funky soul beats??
Double Yikes!! Maybe it needs to soak in.....

I've heard the title track which is amazing, the instrumentation is very MMJ, but Jim James sounds so different.

Just think, if this was 1987 we'd be buying the cassette and it would sound like shit.
I'll be back, I've got an evil urge to go download something.

There is a high quality rip out there.
I may have jumped the gun a bit. While the first 3 songs are 'different' from classic MMJ, I agree the album settles into more of the MMJ style. I can't help but think of some of the songs sound like mediocre Flaming Lips knockoffs. I still think it's nowhere near previous efforts. Having seen MMJ live and enjoying most of their studio stuff, I really had high hopes for this record.
Highly Suspicious is horrid. I think that originally made me think WTF? on first listen.

Obviously this album is going to separate the true believers from the people that want to put MMJ in a box. I'm liking this a lot better than Z, which had a few great songs but as a whole was rather unsubstantial.
Highly Suspicious is awesome. I love that the band isn't afraid of recording a WTF song that is going to alienate people.

I first heard of MMJ when they opened for the “Doves”. There progression as a band is amazing. I do enjoy Evil Urges. I was one of the first to hear most these songs live in Houston TX. But at the same time, the mystery that was in Tennessee Fire, At Dawn & It Still Moves is not there for me in Z or this album. By mystery, I mean the stuff that made you really get lost in their music.
I do enjoy Urges more than Z though. And Highly Suspicious works live and have just been a B-side. Feels like I'm listening to the "Weird Science" soundtrack.

The only MMJ album I've heard is Z, which I like a LOT. If I like that one, will I like this one? I'm definitely curious to hear it.

It's a little weirder than Z for the first few songs, but settles down. I'd suggest going backwards first to It Still Moves.
Of course, when it's free...

I just read somewhere that Jim James' idea for this album was to recreate and re-introduce many different genres of music. I think the album does that very well.
I hear these influences:
Touch me pt1 ... Flaming Lips
Highly Suspicious .. Prince/funk
Thank You Too ... 70s Eagles
Too Halves ... 50s rock n' roll/ Doo-wop
Librarian ... Folk
Aluminum Park ... Springsteen
Remnants ... Pearl Jam-ish
Touch me pt 2 ... Disco beats
