Love, love love the cover art! And really love the snippet of The Voice – all Adam right up front from what I hear – production but voice too! Hooray! want more… now… of course! But how good is today to have a gorgous picture and a snippet!
Hey, I’m already lovin’ it!!
This is all good and great, Mr. Toby Knapp. However, you better be playing my boy’s music on 99.5. I’m right here with you in Washington, DC and will be making sure you are a man of your words!!!
An mp3 of the snippet if anyone wants it.

Ok that’s better, now there is a voice to go with the cover art, that’s what I was waiting for.
Sounds AMMMMAAAAAZING
I can’t wait for more! Next Tuesday!
That is a low quality snippet, so the real thing will sound better.
SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!!! LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PERFECT COVER ART !!!!!!!!!! LOVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CAN’T GET ENOUGH THE SNIPPET !!!!!!! LOVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PERFECT !!!!! PERFECT !!!!! PERFECT !!!!!
EVERYTHING IS PERFECT !!!!!! LOVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTIKM
Joining luval in the Downer corner. Hate the snippet . Way too electronic for me. Hope the sound is better than what I’m getting on my Mac.
Thank you, Thank you ….GUYS.
Love, Love, Love …. everything.
I can’t get enough of the snippet.
And NOW !!!!! ..I want the REAL thing.!!!!! The whole song!!!
Is it next Tuesday yet?
Skoot over just a bit Calgary. Mind if I sit next to you?
Hmmm, I didn’t think “electronic” when I heard it, hopefully the whole song will please us all.
Melody sounds like the demo with lots of production. Hope you’re right, nkd, that the real song will sound better. I know I’m in the minority. But I guess the general public will like it. Seems radio friendly. Like Aftermath, I only liked it after I heard it in person. We’ll see.
“Better than I know my SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELF”
Oh…Yeah….BB …sing it ….BB…..
“Better than I know my SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELF”
OH..YA….BB, OH ….YEAH…BB….OH..YES…YES…BB..
“Better than I know my SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELF”
Better Than I Know Myself
Damn. Is there room in the corner for one more? Me, too. Just muddy and could be anybody’s voice.
I don’t even think it is all that radio friendly. No bounce, no dance. Certainly not anything new in terms of music. Def doesn’t live up to the hype. IMHO, of course. But I’m really, really disappointed. Especially if they think this is the best cut on the album, the one chosen for the first single.
Okay, gonna reserve judgement until I hear it all six days from now (unless someone leaks it before then, totally possible but I hope not, it should roll out the way Adam wants it.)
Guys…. GET OUT OF THAT CORNER!!!!
COME AND PLAY!!!!!! IT’S GOING TO BE GREAT!!! TRUST ME!!!!
“Better than I know my SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELF”
OH..YEA…BB…SING..BB..SING…
“Better than I know my SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELF”

Better than I know myself drops on December 20th! avail on all digital music providers. Happy Holidays!!
Thanks …Ron.
Me…sad now.
Where I live..i can’t buy the song. Me no good. yer all carry along…me go.. to bed. me..sad…me want to cry…
nobody likes the snippet? me..jan…sad..
ITA…no funk, no dancy, no hip, no edge, if you ask me. Sounds like the music playing in the background at an office party, if you know what I mean. I am glad I didn’t get my hopes up. Am glad I ignored the hype.
asif, you are funny. I know you’re not alone in flailing. But right now, not me. boo hoo
Of course, I’ll still buy it to support Adam. I want him to sell sell sell and be number one.
I like the snippet, although I can hardly wait for the real thing in HQ. Maybe itunes will have a longer snippet up soon.
This song has been in my head since I heard the demo, and Adam’s voice on it can only improve things. I was not a fan of Aftermath and I don’t think it sounds like that at all.
I’m not sure that this was thought to be the best song on the album, but the safer choice for a first single. We’ll just have to wait for the album to decide that I suppose.
Oh, it doesn’t sound like Aftermath. Was just using that song as an example of music I didn’t like until I heard it live. Was almost not going to listen to the snippet but I caved.
Maybe Adam recorded two different versions? Either that radio intern, who went into so much detail about the song, heard a different uptempo, dance recording with Adam “wailing” or he was full of it all along.
Okay, you guys are making me sad, and (hopefully) for no reason.
There is no way you can compare a snippet to an entire song.
I’m very patient and ready to wait—so far I love it!
This was on Juneau and Xena’s site:

I think I believe Adam. Yes, Ron, I forgot about that intern. Probably full of it!
dcglam…don’t be sad. I’m still willing to wait for the whole song. And as I said, even if I don’t really like it I’m buying it. Maybe it will grow on me. I remember FYE…I really hated the song FYE but now it’s my top 3 on the album!
I haven’t listened to the snippet and am planning to avoid it – I prefer to hear the full song before making any judgment. So I can’t offer an opinion at this point.
Updated the top of the post with the cover art and to reflect the single release date.
Thank you thank you, eywflyer. And I was waiting to get your opinion of the snippet. haha
mj has a thread and most people like the snippet but several, like me, think it sounds like the demo. And if you didn’t like the demo, you won’t like this but again, I’ll wait until the whole song comes out.
LOL eywflyer, I just checked back here to see if you changed the picture.
Luval, I never listened to the demo either lol. I just don’t like listening to partial or unfinished works. So the single will be a total surprise for me when I download it next Tuesday.
I have one foot in the corner, one with asif.
As an old Prince fan, I wanted more oomph and funk and beat, or: something really weird and different. But I don’t completely dislike it either. Gotta sleep over this a couple of times, then see how the full version sits with me. Meanwhile I will stare at the cover art. Certainly no complaints from anybody there. eywflyer: I admire your willpower to wait for the full version.
kradamour: Thanks for the emoticon. Of course.
You are one very smart dude, eywflyer!
I will say this – if the initial reaction is so mixed (meh for some) HERE, I don’t have a lot of optimism for a monster hit out there in the harsh world of radio, beyond the realm of Adam fans.
FYE peaked at #61 on the Billboard Hot 100. It did reach #5 on the “Hot Dance Club Songs” chart.
ETA: Believe me, I am hoping for a huge hit, and not having heard any version of the song I probably shouldn’t be saying anything at all at this point. I was just a bit surprised at the somewhat mixed reactions from those of y’all who have listened to the snippet.
Haha. I like Jim.
If you want to listen to the snippet of BTIKM on repeat for 1:44 mins.
Here it is.

ENJOY!!!
Headphones really make the snippet sound a lot better. Try it out.
Hi, people. Well, sorry, but I LOVE the snippet, and of course the cover art. Didn’t expect any funk on this song anyway, being as how no one who heard it said it was funky or dancy; that was about other tracks on the album. Also, not remotely like FYE in my opinion. Much more modern, but then I love modern. It is mid-tempo; more like a more modern, updated WWFM. I like the melody, the beat, the lyrics too. And the last few seconds, his voice sounds amazing.
If the djs like it (and the one’s we’ve heard did), then good. He needs a good radio hit. Europe is playing Robyn, Jessie J, Rihanna, etc. And it sounds like it will fit into US radio too, to me anyway.
Also, love that RCA seems to be totally on board with any new collabs with Queen! YAY!
I LOVE THE SNIPPET!!! CAN’T WAIT FOR THE FULL VERSION ON TUESDAY! IT’S GONNA BE AMAZING
I am loving the snippet so much than I thought I would…Can’t wait for the whole song…and then the whole album.
Also that cover art is beautiful….What a gorgeous man…
Dadbert is funny.

Cant make the damn snippet snip…argh
milestougeaux Miles Tougeaux
Ok I have successfully snipped. Thanks! Actually havent heard this one.
Yay, Dec. 20th is my birthday! What a fabulous present!
Love the cover pic/art. I do think they have listened to us fans, we love him in profile, we love him darker and edgier. Gorgeous picture, gorgeous clothes, gorgeous man.
I’m withholding judgement on the snippet. It sounds over-produced and mushy, unclear. Hoping the actual sound will be better. I just want a sterling clear vocal to come through.
Does anyone else think that the single cover is reminiscent of the Details picture of Adam in that white t-shirt??? Loooorve that photo.
BTW. December 20th makes this a Hanukkah present!!!!! Yay!
He really does have an awesome profile….And not to shabby from the front either. lol
Love everything about this man. And yes I did think of the Details pictures.
From listening the snippet, I am waiting in anticipation for hearing him sing this live. He will slay this song so much…
mils…funny you said that about the single cover. I send my brother Adam interviews and photos. His favorite of all time is the Details white tee. I sent him the single cover and am waiting for his thoughts. I know he’ll love it…the James Dean-ish look.
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could buy a hard copy cd of the single? I had to buy the German Sleepwalker to get Mr. October.
Wow, I just heard the snippet, it sounds good and I can’t wait to hear the whole song. I am looking forward to Adam singing this live. Kudos to Lee Cherry, he did an amazing job on that cover and I absolutely love it.
Mjs’ just posted a better snippet from AO. I tried to bring it over but couldn’t. It was in a comment.
BTW, after hearing the cleaner less fuzzy snippet, I am now officially on team squeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( I don’t do smilies. Sorry. Not a fan. )
Here it is, mils
Sorry! Wrong Link.
Now, after popping around different sites, people are concerned that he had tweeted about doing cover photo shoot with the EMA hair, and people are worried!!
Fer crying out loud, at least we have this bee-you-tee-full picture!
Thanks to Lee Cherry.
