I'm assuming by late tonight, you'll all have previewed the clips. They're great, truly great. Albeit 30 seconds, but I haven't really found a bad one. The excitement levels across the Hipbase have collectively risen....so let's hear it-favourite? I think despite the solid rock sound throughout the record, it's got to be Are We Family, which Colin claimed to be his least favourite? Regardless...19 days...

I don't know...I only have listed to them a few times, but right of the bat I really like gus and Heart of the melt.

"Are We Family" has already worked its melody into my head when I run... that's a keeper.

*cough*

I'm not sure... the quality of them on the site were "metallic?" "fizzy?"

Whatever...

I was thinking exactly that, especially Joe. I went back and listened to VS just to make sure they were all tinny, and not just Joe.

Here's hoping for a more polished sound on the 29th.

The clips sound tinny because they haven't been encoded at a high rate. Generally 128 kps is considered CD quality for a WMA file. These clips have been encoded at 20 kps. That's worse than AM radio!
