Only got about 3 hours of sleep because I stayed up for the Hour. IT WAS WORTH IT! Watching the live performance (although, yes there was an issue with RB's guitar volume) blew me away! I think Downie is way more focused and is clearly into what the Hip are all about again. I haven't been this interested in hearing new songs live since PP. there is something really good happening with the band and this album IMO.

This is the best GD has sounded on vocals in a long time. The band was amazingly tight with the new stuff. WOW!

I agree. The band is super tight. Hearing Rob's guitar on IN VIEW should answer the questions people are asking about how it sounds without keys. When I was listening on TV, the song sounded off but hearing it the way it's meant to be heard resolves my doubts about them being able to play it without keys. Gord sounds GREAT!
