Kind of amazing how much more ridiculous internet hype has become since 2005, nothing like this happened when The Campfire Headphase was being released.

did campfire headphase get any hype beyond 'normal excitement upon reading press release'? it had only been three years since geogaddi, it wasn't an event album like this, now it feels like they're reintroducing themselves. it has been eight years

(that video was uploaded 3 weeks ago? possibly unrelated to this whole Tokyo thing but according to the tracklist upthread Sick Times is 4:16 indeed)
