from the live stuff i've heard this album does have more truly musical interplay (the most since experimental from what i can tell) coupled with some great big rock noise bridges & outros...& they sound rather fresh as opposed to ripped...the structures r ripped but refined & stripped (again like experimental only more lush with a songwriting direction more akin to what they've been doing more recently)
& yeah, although I grew to love the albums with O'Rourke, I'm glad Jim is gone too.
I have a feeling that when I (& these other people) listen to the whole Rather Ripped album we're gonna be blown away.
