I have stuck it out and not heard the album yet and now I am super stoked. I was interested in the Release day challenge and listening party on Twitter but then I read it was on Tuesday and not on the release day of Monday (here in the UK) and further more it is not until 9pm. That seems a bit disappointing and weird to me to wait such a time. So then I was thinking maybe just listen to it tomorrow since it is release day. But searching, I find a post on Mike's blog where he refers to the release day challenge as listening to it at Midnight on the release day (Although I will prob be rather drunk by then!) So now I can't decide when I should listen to it for the first time! hah.
I hope next time LP releases an album I'm mature enough to wait for something like this and not listen the second it leaks. lol
I am trying my best to hold out for the full album on Tuesday, but it's really hard because I really love what I have heard so far. I have heard Lost In The Echo, Burn It Down, Lies Greed Misery, Victimized, and Until it Breaks. I love everything I've heard, so that's why it has been so hard to hold out for the truly experimental stuff (from what I've heard from others).
Do the release day challenge. It's great having so many other people hearing it for the first time with you and giving their opinions about it simultaneously.
My listening party was in the shout box the day it leaked lol. I agree. It's better with others giving opinions
Haha, I meant the "folksy" songs that I've heard so much about. I didn't think UIB was that experimental. Surprising, yes, but it sounded to me like "I Have Not Begun" with a "Hands Held High"-esque bridge. The chopped up demo nature of it is the surprising part. Great song.
