Seriously!
They say it's Boring! Not listening due to Richie leaving or not as good b/c Richie's not on it?, I Want Jon to produce a album like the 80's/90's, Jon's political support for Hiliary Clinton is why I won't listen/buy THINFS Album etc.
It should be......Well done the Band on a good album! I am stunned. What do they want? Jon said he can't/won't sing like the 80's/90's anymore. THINFS Is the best they have done since These Days, I hope this album is what we get musically as they go on.....sure a WAN type songs may get thrown in, but who cares if they could produce another album like THINFS?

Yeah, those fans are jumping the gun a bit, expecting too much. But other fans, a lot on here for example, are doing the same in the other direction.
Best since These Days is a sweeping statement that comes too early in this cycle. Equally, those who say that this is an awesome album, or I love this song etc.
I am generally happy with what I have heard so far. However, I think it takes a long time for an album to settle and to make lasting judgments. A lot of things can change, even how the songs go over live can change perceptions of some tracks on an album.
This is an encouraging start to the THISNFS cycle for sure, but I would think giving some breathing room to the album before saying best since ...., or this is the best song of .... etc.
