New song for those who haven't heard:

You guys....it's so great, like really really great

My thoughts exactly. Sucks that it got moved and there was confusion but I didn't buy the album so I could hear it before anyone. I wanted to help them make it

Email from the guys: "Hey guys. We come to you tonight extremely bummed and disappointed. We owe you guys an apology. You were always meant to be the absolute first to hear our new album, and unfortunately that can no longer be the case. We are very sorry about this. The official release date for COLORS is July 1 (moved from the initial release date of May 27). Amazon failed to change the release date for any physical pre-orders made through their site, so the 55 CDs that they had for those pre-orders have been sent out. This means that several people have received the album before all of you wonderful early adopters of this project. We wanted to make this special for you, for your immediate and initial support, and due to this glitch, we can no longer do that. It's heartbreaking for us, and we are extremely sorry. The plan has now changed dramatically, and we will be sending you all your digital version of the album this Monday (5/30). So, if there is any silver lining, it is that. You will all be hearing the album several weeks sooner than expected, and in less than 48 hours from right now! Again, we are very sorry. This is a massive blow, and we understand your anger and frustration. We feel it too. We love you guys, and are eternally grateful for your support, and your long suffering as we've gone through the process of making and releasing this album. We really hope you enjoy it! Please don't hesitate to let us know any questions or concerns you have at [email protected]."

Hoping for some Spartan love on this one. Maybe an big insert and a nice thick hot piece of vinyl

Video for The Bad Parts

Still reading. Almost done with the third book. Its been an ordeal...

Float reminds me of something they'd do for O!G or maybe VV, which I like a lot. The 7/4 time signature really helps it groove along. Live It Well is exactly what you said, classic Switchfoot down to the "yeah" at the beginning and the large chorus. I will say, even with all its "heard that before" style, I like the lyrics/rhymes way better than on Fading West. A ton of the lyrics were easy rhymes in my opinion and weren't complex enough to me Any easy example of this is the first song off FW: it sounds too easy (for me) I’m trying to find where my place is I’m looking for my own oasis so close I can taste this the fear that love alone erases so I’m back to the basics I figure it’s time I face this Something a little different in Hello Hurricane where some words are slant rhymes and creates a more complex sentence: Everything I have I count as loss Everything I have is stripped away Before I started building I counted up these costs There’s nothing left for you to take away On the other hand, Live It Well, it's part of a longer idea and he pairs "door" with "funeral" and "song/wrong" with "dawn" I wanna sing with all my heart a lifelong song Even if some notes come out right and some come out wrong Cause I can't take none of that through the door Yeah, I'm living for more than just a funeral I wanna burn brighter than the dawn TL;DR: I love all their music and I'm happy with the new songs. I'm glad they sound more thought out. Looking forward to more

Grabbed the Getz/Gilberto '76 the other day and have been spinning side A non-stop, just a wonder live performance and the vinyl sounds great

In case anyone wanted to watch, here's a Acoustic version of "Live It Well"

Been wondering that myself for a long time, it was announced that winter but nothing ever came out of it, maybe every mock up was made and it wasn't executed

That was my understanding too, and I laughed at "just us". Very true I asked but doubt I'll hear anything

Updated w/track list, links, and picture

sad to say no. I think bc I live in GA which would be farther to ship from their location I'm guessing? Also, anyone know how to edit posts? Can't seem to on desktop, mobile yes, but can't add a picture there

I'll hook ya up $16 was hard for shipping but I've been ordering less than one record a month so I figured what the heck

HA! Did that with his Galactic Melt album, actually was pretty cool

Heard it would be happening sometime this year I believe. Would buy for sure
