Oh alright, the Make It Wit Chu hook/harmonies are pretty undeniable. Great song for a lazy drive.
I just can’t stand Battery Acid, that drum beat annoys me after 10 seconds. This is otherwise my third favorite album by these guys after the first two releases, and *might* surpass Rated R with more time

Straight Jacket Fitting is undeniably terrifc. I want so bad for it to be another couple minutes longer, like a Warsaw or Daffodils type deal, where I can really dig into that riff.

Very early and non-binding thoughts on the musical aspects of the new record:
01 Obscenery - Strings in a Queens opener? Multi-sectional, guitar sound reminiscent of I'm Designer, tasty changes and vocals, HURRAH! 02 Paper Machete - Upbeat, fun bounce, pretty simple riff, really nice solo, very enjoyable instrumental sections, gets better with each spin 03 Negative Space - In another band's hands this track would be kind of average, the musicianship tends to lift this one up, Theodore is the MVP, closely edging out a superb lead break 04 Time & Place - Homme admires Radiohead's song Jigsaw Falling Into Place, where multiple parts are constantly added and taken away, this song has echoes of that approach 05 Made To Parade - Glad to land on a song that isn't sorta sprinting to the finish line like the last four, interesting vocal arrangement, second half is great, I love a good fadeout 06 Carnavoyeur - Makes me think that he second half of the record has a lot more personality than the first half, there's a lot to like about this track, wish it was longer 07 What The Peephole Say - Another express one, haven't really engaged with this tune yet 08 Sicily - I am a big supporter of this track, it has a nice itch to it, another one I wish they would have given us more of 09 Emotion Sickness - One of their best singles yet 10 Straight Jacket Fitting - My favourite, easily on par with any A or A+ tier Queens song you might care to mention
The leak hasn't floored me like LC did - you could tell immediately that that was a special record as you replayed the mp3s over and over - but it's miles ahead of Villains, where you were playing the mp3s over and over hoping that you missed the magic and it was going to finally reveal itself but it just couldn't.
SJF is execeptional, hopefully a few others develop similarly over the course of the next few weeks, months and years.
It will be interesting to see which of these songs slip into the live catalogue and become mainstays. I hope that it is material like SJF, Sicily and Carnavoyeur.
Theodore does another great job serving the material. Guy is elite.
