Not quite exactly. I heard the full album in very bad quality and just spun it once...it was so bad I just stopped and didn't want to ruin my DT listening experience. That's why I was asking...I've only heard the single that RR released for 24 hrs and it's quite catchy and seems very melodic (something DT had been missing lately).
I've heard the cover songs (the ones released so far) and they sound good. They will be releasing the King Crimson cover tomorrow (Larks Tounges pt2) and I'm really excited for this one. James and the rest of the band sound extremely well.
I certainly hope that it's the best since SFAM (as Jim said). SC was Ok, but I felt some recycling going on in some sections and song structures. And I wasn't quite fond of the production either. I felt it was a bit high..JR said in an interview that they were not going to do the loudness war thing anymore. I really hope they don't go that way anymore.
