I'm trying not to listen to any of the songs because I don't want to spoil the experience. I listened to practically all the released songs from Rabbits on the Run before it came out. Regret it a little. (;
I feel the same way.. I have only listened to the new songs in concert, which I recorded but I have only listened to a handful of times afterwards. Since I had ROTR songs so early, it was almost like I was "done" listening to the record before it was even out! (when I say "done" what I mean is that I usually get a new record and listen to only that fore months.. then I will listen to it less as time goes on.. then my ipod goes to shuffle until I get a new album I obsess about!)
acoustic version of the songs would be great, as always, the stripped down and live versions are my favorite, even though the new stuff has neat sound
