Methamphetine especially gripping is.

Anyone know if the stream was the final album or demo/early mixes?

Much more acoustic/Deadish than the recent stuff. Enough so that I think my wife will actually like it.

Whatever/whoever, it sucks that they broke up. But then if they didnt, we would not have such glorious melodies to fill our hearts and minds....

the sum of their parts made UT the best fackin' American band in the last 20 years IMHO. I saw UT at least 20 times during their run while i was in college, and they were unbelieveable live...would start a lot of shows acoustic (which would still rock), and then they would plug in, and BLAM...unfuckingbelieveable. in one of their shows encore, they did a version of Neil's "Down By The River" still reverberates in my brain all these years later.....that is all.
