-Devil's In The Temple is a f**king killer track.
-Rollercoaster is one huge clusterfluck.
-I loved I Will Drive You Home; it has that low-key mid-2010s sound perfect for, well, late-night romantic drives.
-Best atmosphere among the non-singles goes to Come Up To Our House. I can place it in These Days and no one would bat an eye.
-Jon sounded to strong on Real Love, and it distracts from the ambience a bit.
-Production in WDR was obviously tweaked: Hugh and Shanks are higher in the mix in exchange for the wall of sound and echoes from Tico and Jon. "Hey"s can be heard around the chorus as well. Oh, and who's doing the backing vocals in the verses? JBJ sounds layered out there, plus the chorus now finally sounds it was done in one vocal take, rather than "RUUUN" being separate vocal track from the rest of the song.
-As mentioned earlier, someone was trying to be The Edge in Goodnight NY, down to the exact sound heard in Joshua Tree.
-Well, at least, the guitars are higher in the mix than they were in the past few albums. But Rollercoaster is still one huge clusterfluck.
