my two cents: every criticism i see on this thread is purely aesthetic. the album cover, the song titles, the album title... aesthetics. they mean absolutely nothing as compared to the music. the music's what we're all here for in the first place, so let's wait for the songs to be released before we harp on everything else, shall we?

DUH...people have only been given aesthetic details... The details ARE going to be discussed as they are released. Maybe we should all shut up as news comes out about the album, release dates, cover art, etc? Way to kill a board. The fact is that all of this information is minimally interesting but it's the build up to what we are all waiting for. There is no harm in idle speculation and discussion. If you don't think people should be discussing anything until the music comes out...why are you even here? Goodbye...we'll see you again in late January. Your two cents seems to be even more useless than anything else on this thread...and that it saying something. That's my 2 cents.

aesthetics mean nothing as compared to the music. i'm a fan of their music. (i'd hope you are too, especially considering we're here.) the aesthetics are of little importance to me. it reminds me of how stupid people thought the title of "the shock of the lightning" was before we heard it. it turned out to be a kickass song.
you could have the greatest album cover with the coolest song titles. it means nothing if the songs are shit. so if you want to talk about how stupid you think the song titles are, be my guest. i don't aim to stifle any conversation here, but it's beyond silly to judge something before it's even released. i mean, go ahead, knock your socks off, but don't let unimportant shit (i.e. everything except the actual music they release) make you think any better or worse of the group. that level of ridiculousness mixed with fanboy obsession doesn't do anybody any favors... so calm the fuck down, internet tough guy.

Internet Tough girl. No, we shouldn't judge an album on aesthetics...noone is arguing with that (or @ least noone that isn't a moron) HOWEVER it does not follow that we shouldn't talk about the aesthetics at all. THAT is the point I am trying to make. Tell me. When you heard the album art and tracklisting were released, didn't you go right to the site to see? I'll bet u did like most of us did. So don't tell me we shouldn't have talked about it. I've said before judging a tune by it's name or an album by it's artwork is stupid. BUT having an opinion on artwork or titles is perfectly valid. For TSOTL, anyone that thinks the name is bad they are entitled to their opinion (though I like the title) and it is valid. Judging that the song as crap before u hear it based on the title is stupid though. In am getting really sick of this boards lazy way of thinking. Judging aesthetics for themselves is not bad as long as you don't attempt to judge the core of the thing by aesthetics. But really...why did you bother to read the thread? It obviously about the album details all of which are aesthetic. If you don't think aesthetics are important why did you bother to read the thread? just so you could say we should talk about aesthetics? I'll tell you what. Save ur breath. It's gonna happen with the next album too...as it should!

i actually didn't go right to the site, funnily enough. life tends to do that to you sometimes. (i ended up seeing it a few days after the press release came out.) if it was so wrong to think that some of what was on this thread was a bit overboard, then, as steve martin would say, "well, excuuuuuuuuuuse me," internet tough girl!

Well u did go to look @ it like everyone else. Because it is part of the package we are waiting for if admittedly not the most important part. But I do get almighty sick of people trying to shut down discussions on this board all the time. It's a forum. Nobody says you have to read every thread. If the thread is not something you think is important then DON'T READ IT! Very simple. But why on earth would u read the thread an then complain? The thread was valid as are most of the opinions. What did u think the thread was going to be about other than aesthetics?
