I'm not about to jump in with criticism of an album I haven't heard BUT...
There are certain things that bug me about it and I have mentioned them before.
WWBTF - already been discussed to death, I have an indifferent feeling towards it but if a 'monster solo' is now included, it may just become a good track.
WFTWM - the riff is almost identical to LOAP and IMO it's lyrically stunted.
'Superman Tonight' and 'Fast Cars' - the songs may be musically brilliant but I fail to see how the lyrics will be with titles like that.
I choose to ignore any bashing of the band I don't think is called for and just read topics that either steer clear of it or involve constructive criticism and good discussion on the hopes and fears of the imminent new release. Starting topics about it is silly though. There's bound to be tension with less than two months till it's out!
