Figured I'd give you guys a little more since the album was delayed, here's the full run of tracklist descriptions we had been running on Instagram:

Each track links to an Instagram photo. Which song are you most excited to hear?

Sweet, much thanks. That track Ascension to Nowhere sounds really interesting. I like the title all on its own plus it looks like it has a lot going on from a musical stand point as well.
But really, I'm just hyped to hear the whole album.

I've been reading these ever since they started being posted, and I'm just amazed by all the work... String sections and scratches together on the tracks, Kat is on a ton of them... It just seems like there's a lot of talent and experimentation, sorta like Stepfather. I'm ultra-buggin' about the whole thing... I noticed that Double's producing three tracks this time too. Excellent.
As far as the song descriptions go, I'm most intrigued by Electric Tookie, WRLA, We Got It, Uprock Boogie, Cookie's Theme... Sh*t, man, they ALL sound fresh. Thursday can't get here quickly enough. (Well, Wednesday night, I guess... I'll be up late, haha)

I'm the most excited to hear Uprock Boogie. Sounds like some South Bronx style B-Boy jam for rocking the floors.

Wait wait wait. I figured by Thursday at Midnight spelunk meant the time between Thursday and Friday. (i.e. It drops at 3 am Friday Morning for us East coasters.)

Some of my fave P tracks are always the last ones on the Album....the more chilled introspective vibe so always looking forward to the last track so me Ambien Hallway Music looks interesting......also love a real beat/MC track so i am hoping Uprock Boggie has that kind of vibe.
I think with this album the track names could really mean anything and that is the beauty of this Album so just lookign forward to seeign how the whole Album runs together. I love hearing it from start to finish as i do think its an art to place all the songs together in one thread.....

The only reason why I was thinking "Thursday at midnight PST" was the border between Wed-Thurs is because they kept saying that it had to be delayed "a few days" and not "a week", and also I thought they were telling us "Thursday... and based on what you cats were saying earlier, we'll get it out at midnight so you don't have to wait 'til Thursday morning after you wake up"... sorta like that... but yeah, you may be right... I'm sure Brendan/spelunk can clear it up for us (although I feel bad, making him jump on the boards to answer our sh*t... I'm sure he's busy with PUTS making it funky for the fans)...

On a side note, I was thinking... Thes mentioned being knocked out at how many pre-orders they got... I wonder what the reason is for the upsurge in interest? Even though the P are top-shelf and we all know it (I'm only trying to be real here), "top-shelf" doesn't translate into "records sold", and the P have always been underdogs and seriously underrated in a major way...
...so what do you think? I'd hate to say it, but maybe the Mac Miller track got more of the younger audience looking at the P? I'm not crazy about him, like a lot of people here on the boards, and I wouldn't put it all on him, but it might've had something to do with it... there's a lot of PUTS on YouTube now, too... I don't know... any thoughts?

The P get a whole lotta love from the fans, but i just feel that the fans are spread out across the world, as ive seen quoted somewhere before, The P are the biggest underground hip hop group in the world, unfortunatly, as its not 1 central location, they dont get anywhere near the press they deserve, maybe mac miller had something to do with it, but more likely is video sharing really taking off and the ability to communicate with a worldwide audience, also, in these times of "disposable" music, the true gold shines through the sh!t, other reasons could be:
Thes scoring street dreams.
The hook up with vans.
PL70 and people being genuinly intrested and supportive of it.
Thats all i can think of right now, but lotsa little things have made the big difference in my opinion.
Peace

I've been rocking my two PUTS/Piecelock tees ever since I bought 'em, and hoodie season is fast approaching, so I'll be getting my blue-on-dark-grey "P" hoodie out too... I don't know if it's influenced any other Sactown/Davis sales, but I'm out there strugglin' to get 'em noticed.

I can assure all of you that the people who buy PUTS albums are the real OG MFers like yourselves, and that is our focus. All of the stuff with Mac Miller - it's fun, he's a good kid who struck a nerve and has an impressive team of his friends behind him. It's going to be a very interesting and eye-opening tour as far as seeing into a very different generation and demographic of music fans. If they're down, rad - the P is for everybody, no matter what background, age, gender or favorite rappeur-du-jour. If not, we know you're still here, and none of that changes our focus on creating and releasing great music.
As far as more kids finding out about PUTS - kids are amazing when it comes to finding out about new music. Youtube is an incredibly powerful discovery engine and I kid you not, thousands of people hear any given artist's music for the first time every single day because of it. The problem is that only a tiny fraction of those people chunk down a little money for an album. What we've done with PL70 is try to do our best to make that small purchase worthwhile, and make it clear where that money goes and how much it means.
In reality there are all of a few dozen people who regularly post here on the forum. But you guys will always matter more to us than however many thousands of people click play on Youtube.
