One thing that jumped out to me is them discussing IGYEIH being the last song to come together. To me it's definitely the song on the album when I heard it the first time that I could hear a more dead Sara influence to it and wondered if it was a fresh song they did together or was a seed mike introduced her to

If someone can help me album is released but when I log into the warner store it's saying I don't have any downloadable products, am I missing something regarding getting the tracks? Edit: just realised it's probably because it's still the 14th in the US?

I feel like I'm 15 years old again ready to put "two faced caught in the middle" as my MSN user name. We're so back. Banger

I've listened to the album a couple times. It took me the second run round to catch onto cut the bridge it was a bit jarring after TEM. Good Things Go is supreme, it floats through your ears and is such a good closer. One of my favourite songs of the bands in a very very long time. Two faced is also an absolute banger. Fits right in those first two albums. I'm honestly shocked they could pull off something this good. But then again they've shocked me at each point so should I really be that shocked? Actually emotional listening to the album, it's so good for them to be back

Absolutely growing on me more and loving Emily's delivery... "and I'm not ever righhhttt" hits home on a personal level. I still think it's a bit lyrically short in the bridge but I really love it. Broadly getting these three songs (the emptiness machine is 10/10 for me) has been an emotional ride thinking back to the launch event whenever I think about mike saying "it's good to see you again" I get caught in my throat. I love this band and genuinely it's just so good seeing them happy and making music again.

I liked the song from first listen, song structure is a little weird for me it feels like the bridge needed to be another 10-15 seconds with some lyrically variety? However, I will say that Joe did a great job on the MV the story made me resonate and like the song even more. I think it's been such a great re introduction by the band so far.

Hearing them rip out bangers like this makes me emotional, so excited for the studio version

I could be far off track but I feel like a bit of the backlash is also rooted in sexism against Emily along with the 'issues'. As its been mentioned a lot here she denounced him, I find the argument around the lack of using his name weird. Everyone knew who she meant. We've also seen the story of Dave Grohl this morning cheating on his wife and fathering a baby with another woman. Yet I see the discourse for him as 'we all make mistakes', 'humans are complicated'. I know they're not specifically comparable but I find it hard to believe why the response would be so vastly different. What Dave Grohl has done is an absolutely fucking shitty thing to do

The coolest thing about the zane lowe interview was that the cover art (seemingly Joe had a part in it?) is natural photography and not cgi. That's such a sick album cover with that context

I think there will be a new permanent vocalist, honestly with that picture I think they went the conservative/safe route. They know that anything that they do will be scrutinised to the enth degree so the best option I think is what they did which is to use mike in that still image. New song and video clip though and live performance of that song gets done at the 5th sep event.

I missed the image but heard the audio, did anyone get a snip of the image that apparently popped up with a minute to go?

If it is emily armstrong the dead sara album the airport sessions gives me confidence that this could work really well

New member, monstrously long time lurker. My tinfoil hat theory is a combination of things regarding the direction sonically of the band. I have no thoughts on the singer, but I think that the use of the logo from the MTM era rather than 'fixing' the current logo.. the bleed it out video, already over being relatively aligned to that type of rock music I think we will see new music and sonically we will return to that era and we will see a 'rock album'
