I don't understand what everyone means when they mention "disco beats." Good thing I'm not a drummer and know nothing about it, because they always sounded fine to me (minus the loud production on New Wave).

They sound fine... just kinda don't mesh with AM!'s style IMO, which is likely another reason why he left.

Basically, he plays that high-hat like a motherfuckers, sometimes throughout the whole song.

Usually, when someone mentions "disco beats", they're referring to playing the hi hat only on the off beats. Opening and closing the hi hats while hitting on the "and" of every beat, and still playing the snare on two and four. Or, playing sixteenths on the hi hat.

Despite the avatar of me playing bass, which I do, I'm a drummer, have been for 11 years, and was before I learned bass, heh.

Just listening to the first track, and I can already confidently say I enjoy it way, way more than what was already released.

As Caleb mentioned, way more "thump".

Awesome.

If you pre-order from Fat you usually get things on or before the day it appears in stores.

I'm not sure... I'd think it'd be available everywhere though. I mean, Fat has just as good distribution as anyone.

you're looking for it on CD? best buy will have it.

I've seen chain stores selling Reinventing Axl Rose for $17.99. Weird. I'm sure FYE will have it.
