Secretly been hoping for gossamer and as Rome burns on this new one but oh well.

Same! Also, the way this is shaping up right now. This album, i think, will work for me. Sorry if other people don't think it's that good... But i'm digging them all (to different degrees) so far.
Feel lucky that it's bringing me some of that old joy. Sorry that it isn't hitting the spot for others. But some people like stuff on Oceania and Adore that I don't really like...
I guess I used to begrudge that, so I get what people are feeling to a point.

What i don't understand is the arguments about not hearing what Jimmy and James are bringing to the table here. Sure I can entertain that argument to a degree with CYR, but on this this so far. Nope. Not having that.
This isn't the same argument as saying you don't like the song, or the song is boring or the song is shit.

We have comparators in Adore, Oceania, Teargarden, Monuments - and if you can't hear Jimmy in Atum, I don't think you ever really understood what he was bringing that made his approach so distinctive in the first place - from my perspective, at least. Other drummers, Ram, I would welcome your thoughts. What he's bringing here in these first 4 tracks we have heard, can initially seem different, more restrained, polished and conservative in parts - in comparison to some of his other stuff in SP. But not all of his stuff.

Anyway. Sorry not sorry. x
