    Knowing it leaked (and not looking) just builds the anticipation for me. The four songs released so far have been on repeat for me, right along with I'm Wide Awake, Outer South, Upside Down Mountain, and Ruminations.

    Won't be able to listen to the leak for a while...can anyone tell me if the Salutations version of Afterthought is the same as the version on the RSD 7"?

    Excellent album, really lucky of us that this exists, thanks Conor!

    missing out

    Here's a new song (so new that it won't be on Salutations, apparently he wrote it last week), and it's pretty amazing.

    definitely, but the new song definitely sounds like him drowning in some serious grief

    Holy crap - this album is amazing. I thought for sure there would be some filler tracks on a 17-song album, but there's really only one song on this entire thing that I'm not crazy about. I prefer these full-band recordings for every song from Ruminations too. I love the musicianship on this album. This is exactly the kind of music I love hearing from Conor.

    The track list does seem kind of all over the place to me, but this guy's output lately has been extremely impressive to me - especially considering that YouTube video is his brand brand new, really angry sounding song.

    we've seen the shadow of the axe before Supporter

    I hadn't either. Very cool.

    Just bought tickets tonight for his show in Chattanooga in a few weeks. Will be my first time seeing him live.

    i've still never listened to pre-fevers or post-wide awake bright eyes apart from a few songs off the people's key

    should get on that sometime i suppose

    Was there a reason you listened to just that one era?

    not really. i started listening to him when i was pretty young (like 13-14) and i'm wide awake did not interest me back then nearly as much as fevers & lifted (and rm/ss) did, so i never really listened past it. not sure why i didn't listen to letting off the happiness tho

    I don't know. This article rubbed me the wrong way. I love most everything Conor does and it has nothing to do with what they mentioned here. He's a fantastic songwriter, whether he's sad or happy or whatever. Those aren't things that ever catch my attention. His "I do what I want" attitude, songwriting skills, poetry... that's what catches me about him.
