I can't believe the downright polar opposite opinions so far (based on 30 sec clips). I will say with all honesty that I am so geeked about this album after hearing these clips. I was really dissapointed that LIAF was the radio single. Sounds to me like Honey and a couple others would've been much better. I think the album is the result of writing, performing and the willingness to try different things....to Mature. Our beloved Hip has taken us on a ride like no other band could've and personally I am grateful.

I don't believe this is a Bob Rock experiment gone emuck. I think it is the guys finally saying "mandolin? sure? more acoustic insted of les Pauls on everything? sure, lets layer the backing vocals? sure. Gords singing sounds great on this so far. Downie is the heart and soul of the band. I love to put DFN in my premium stereo system in my car and turn the volume up to 10, but I am also very interested to see this band expand and mature.

Power comes in many forms in music. I think this is going to be the most powerful album they've ever done...if not the loudest....

I am so happy they are going in this direction!!!!! :thumb: :thumb:

true dat.

I tried to resist listening to them but I was weak. loving exact feeling, speed river, last recluse and honey, please especially. 16 sleeps!

[grimes]

must. resist. urge. to listen.

Amen to that. I've waited 2 1/2 years for a new Hip album and I'm not gonna spoil it with 30 second clips! :thumb:

Exactly. I don't have any desire to listen to 30 second clips, let alone trying to form an opinion of the album based on them...

does anyone else think that the coffee girl clip sounds like an intro to a song that the boys were working on in the 2nd bathhouse video? the one where johnny is playing the drum beat on his own for a bit, then the band quietly joins, and then at the end robby rips this wicked sly solo.

dunno, the drum beat sounds very similar but i could be wrong. ijust wondering if anyone noticed the same thing?

it would be very cool if it was cause i thought that tune sounded really cool :thumb:

I went back and watched that video. I'm pretty sure that tune didn't make the cut. Can only hope it's one of the bonus tracks, cuz I love that drumming.
