Dearest Guster,
I miss the congos! ;_; I miss them to the point that I've used an emoticon, which I never do in entries. Brian, dearie, I know they kill your hands, but I am selfish. I miss the congos. It's just not the same with normal drums, it really isn't. I know I didn't mind on Keep it Together much, but I think the drums in this are higher in the mix, and now it just sounds too normal. There were some hand-played drums on KiT, at least. Please bring back the hand-drums/interesting percussion, they are a large part of what I love you for.
Broken heart, sad face,

P.S. You're right, though, the video for One Man Wrecking Machine is cool, and the song itself makes me oddly nostalgic. Though not nearly as badly as Backyard did.
P.P.S. I'm an airhead. There they are in Lightning Rod. See, this is where a second listen comes in handy. Still. Too many songs with plain drums. In fact, I'm going with all but this song have stick-played drums. Psh, Brian. Who are you and what have you done with the Thunder God?Have you died and been replaced with a double? Are they trying to cover it up? You're the only one holding a pillow in the Lost and Gone Forever insert, omg! Tell me it isn't so!
Of course, this doesn't mean that it isn't worth giving Ganging Up on the Sun a listen (in fact, there you have a link for a streaming version of the entire album)... and this doesn't mean that I'm not looking forward to owning it come June 20th. When I will be home, and my worst stress will probably be popcorn-related. And I'm sure in time it will grow on me more. The album... not the popcorn. I don't think popcorn will ever grow on me.
