I think if you want to have a magical first listen, then you're going to want to have the most "pure" experience by listening to the version that is in the official release of the full album. Even if you listen to the single version ahead of time, you'll want to keep the album version in there for your first listen through. But imo, both are good. The single version is perhaps more of a bop.

The single slaps harder  
I personally prefer the surf drums; I think it flows into Doin' Time better. The album version is good too ofc but it feels a little bare

Haven't listened to the album yet and you all seem so divided on which version of FIILY is better.
 
Which one fits better with the rest of the album? I don't know what to do, I want my first listen to be magical. 

Yup. Still only heard MAC, VB and Doin Time. Ah, the satisfaction of knowing there's almost a whole album of new material to listen to.

What i find most interesting about this album is, not one person seems to dislike it. I think that's pretty amazing. In fact i've only seen 1 or two pretencious buttholes claiming its not mixed properly or something stupid but thats it. Have we ever had this much praise for the new album during other era's? Im so excited to hear this album, it seems to have everything i love incorporated into it

Some people just want their first time to be special 
 
I'm with Terrence on this one

idek, i think im just going by my own experience, cus for me i've anticipated this album so so much and i've booked a week off holiday and everything, even made a countdown that i've hung up on my bedroom wall lol.. so to listen to it now would feel very anti climatic for me

Are we really getting the album this week? Why does Friday feel so far away?

Hi I'm new! I've been reading this thread since september and I'm so ready for this album. Can't wait to discuss with all of you in the post-release thread. 

So far I've only listened to MAC and Venice Bitch (don't know how I've done it honestly). For those who have listened to the leak, I'm curious to know if those two songs give a good idea of the sound of the whole project?
 
Thanks!

IMO, not really ... but it's impossible to tell for sure until I hear it in hq.
 
Basically, you can just dismiss ANYTHING she said about the album in terms of descriptions ... imo, she is way off ... but she sucks at describing stuff so I wasn't surprised. I am just not hearing half the influences 'n' shit she said existed. For example, I do not hear RHCP in any of it.
 
Of all the NFR songs, I would put MAC in my top three at this point, although without hq I can't be sure. Obviously this is personal preference only.

they're good songs tho

Hope and Doin Time the ugly step-sisters x
