I don't mind the roadtesting. I'd be fine hearing the whole thing live first --honestly, I wouldn't care. As long as its a quality product and that road testing helped, then let it be.

i agree...afterall, for the longest time, everyone's "ideal album" (including my own) was entirely composed of songs that they've been "roadtesting" for at least a year or two in some capacity; with a new studio album, what's the difference whether it's made up of older new songs that you've had live recordings for for a few years or brand-new songs that you've inevitably played on repeat at least 9849328402 times all summer long?
half the fun in a studio album is seeing how songs show up in their more "finalized" forms...believe or not, songs can and do evolve in the studio, too
