The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I’ve been stuck working on emergency department training in my tiny, poorly lit downstairs “office” 8-10 hours a day, every day, for the last 15 days. I don’t know how long that schedule will continue, but at the least it’ll be weeks or months. I feel terribly overworked, a little bit useless, and very lucky all at once.
There’s a perfect storm here for me, in that an album with this exact message and feel reached me at this particular moment in time. It’s like the adult version of how I received Vitalogy just as my parent’s marriage imploded, No Code as I emerged from the rubble of that mushroom cloud and started the process of growing up and away from it all, and a warm, hopeful album with a midwestern road on the cover and a song about a human being who was given to fly on my 18th birthday.
Like those records...like the ones we most often carry with us forever...this one arrived already grafted on. It’s like my own heart sang a song, and someone else collected it for me. That’s going to make it impossible for me to accurately judge the record, or its place in the catalog. Love is blindness, and I don’t want to see.

I'm looking forward to staying up till midnight on Thursday, and listening to my good quality version
this raises an interesting question. why do we think it will be released on streaming platforms? Thursday night at midnight? i've just assuming this would be an "after the kids are in bed and wife is asleep on couch" type experience on Friday night.
Because its always released on streaming platforms. 12 am eastern, so depending on where you are in the world....
yeah i fat fingered my note. i didn't mean "why". meant "when". thanks for info.
I like half the album so I made it into a great EP:
1. Who Ever Said 2. Dance of the Clairvoyants 3. Quick Escape 4. Buckle Up 5. Take the Long Way 6. Comes Then Goes
Had they released that, I’d be thinking, “Holy shit, PJ is good again!”
That’s a nice set.
Yeah, I dig that a lot. I'd remove Buckle Up and put on Seven O'Clock or Alright, myself. But that's still a great little EP.
Sorry I hate those songs
I'm still enjoying the entire album way too much but i could see possibly shortening this thing to 10 songs with a slight re-track:
1. Who Ever Said 2. Superblood Wolfmoon 3. Dance of the Clairvoyants 4. Quick Escape 5. Alright 6. Take the Long Way 7. Buckle Up 8. Comes Then Goes 9. Seven O'Clock 10. River Cross

it might be more like 5am here, if they stagger it, but yes, digital releases are usually on the midnight on Friday, so basically Thursday - no sleep!

Having read how the record was made, dissapoint me a little bit. Its kind of an artificial album. The brilliance is not total merit of the band. But Im thinking George Martin, Nigel Godrich and others, so Im gonna stop whining.
Im now thinking more of Cant Deny Me...that was produced by Brendan from a supposed album coming out in 2018. They released it, saw the backlash and decided to keep working? That song sound nothing like these batch, so at one point im sure Brendan and Josh worked together maybe?
I think bands will do things this way more and more; it may or may not make people feel better, but Meshuggah always did it this way
With what's going on in the world right now, I think it's more understandable than ever before how it's possible to effectively work remotely. I don't take issue with it. The quality of the end product is what will endure.
