    Let me clear this up. If we wanted to take independant notes that would have been fine. We did however have to review each and every song on a scale of 1-5 and give a 1-2 sentence description of each. Also answer 10 questions after listening to the record.

    It's not like we were picking our noses there. In order to provide some leeches with full blown info we'd have to take two sets of notes! Adam and Jess did not just say give us your notes nom nom nom, this listening event was designed more as a sit down Q&A with Warner Execs. Were were asked a full range of things from favorite album to was 8 bit overpriced to what fan clubs you belong to. They were playing the demographics game.

    There are 199 replies for a reason... Im sure Adam was in there talking about Cheesecake tho somewhere... ;)

    Tell me this though;

    was it anything like Reanimation? Answer me that and I'll be happy.

    Elements were. It was like a mature Reanimation on some songs. Not blatant electronica. More subtle but still electronic sounding.

    Also like the guys were saying Rick had comments that the loud parts of a song were loud just to be loud.

    Reanimation = Single loud electronica track
    Some songs on ATS = refined electronica sound (I don't even know if electronica is the word, just follow the message) with multiple layers to culminate in a loud sound.

    So we're only getting 10 songs, basically.

    Stupid interludes are just fillers IMO. I hate 'em
