Remember that so-called “legit metal record,”
ORION, which Ryan Adams

District 9-esque foldout shown above. Adams also
teased us with an indecipherable photo containing the full tracklist. (My image manipulation software dates back to the Clinton administration, so perhaps someone else can focus those song titles!)
