Oh god... I told myself I wouldn't listen to anything until the album came out... Maybe I'll just listen to a few seconds...

Oh, wow. This is great. I can only assume this is the R.E.M-style track we've heard about.

First impressions...I LOVE IT! Sounds like Almost Killed Me with slightly better production. I'm not going to overdo the listening, I'll come back to it later...

Oh god why did they have to use that layering effect on the vocals in the chorus? I'll probably get used to it, it's really throwing me off right now though haha.

slightly better production Yeah, I think it feels a bit too dense. Great song, and I think both the song and the production will make more sense in the context of an album. Love the opening line. And the bridge/the middle part is really great. |

The last third is so good. Now I have to stop listening to this, I wore out the Heaven Is Whenever tracks a bit too much before the album came out

Loud, driving, drum-heavy, familiar, hugely self-referential.
Love it.

This may be verging on sacrilege but, although I enjoy this one on first few listens, I'm a bit bored of the self-referencing. Maybe it'll fit into the wider context of the album but it strikes me as a bit stale.

"Finn’s favorite of the batch is "On With the Business," a pummeling blast of electric guitar and vocal delay that finds the notoriously sharp-eyed vocalist appraising a city heavy on "weak handshakes" and "beautiful kitchens.""
DAMMIT!

This just the first listen and all, but I really dig what I'm hearing.

Is this the one that they were calling Rainbow? I feel like I heard them play this live. It sounds really great.

It could be my computer speakers, but the vocals kind of sound like Craig's under water.
