What Can PJ Do to Bring You Back?

Post by Monkey_Driven »

Been thinking about this lately, in relation to the thread about what the band has done wrong.

What can the band do in the coming months/years ahead to get you to care/be passionate about the band again?
It can be one thing, it can be several things. Be realistic or get crazy.

Fire Matt(It won't happen and he'll probably live to 95)

Record an album of acoustic songs written by Stone and maybe a couple by Ed

I would love to see them open their European tour with "Trump"leauger. We could see glimpses of that intensity with the Masters of War performances last year. I want more of that, but not even necessarily political stuff. Get pissed off/engaged with your art. Don't just perform it.

But they should get a different outside-the-box producer and listen to him and work hard in the studio.

Record new music and don't worry about polishing it; just release it. And do it more often.

Get Josh Homme to produce the next record.

Allow Stone to have more creative influence and songwriting responsibilities.

Get someone to edit Ed's lyrics for cheese and sentimentality.

I just want one last really strong album. I know that is subjective as hell, so I guess what I mean by that is an album that calls upon No Code / Binaural / Riot Act a bit more, and stretches the music in cool sonic directions. I like "calm chaos", Sonic Youth is good at that stuff (see "Rain on Tin"), and I like the wall of sound I hear in "Help Help".

Stuff like that tickles my fancy and I'd like to see PJ make progressions towards that. We have seen glimpses as with "Help Help" or the jam at the end of "Present Tense", or the slow tension of a song like "Can't Keep" and in "Insignificance". I think there is more room for them to explore that sound, and I'd like for them to go down that road again but make it new, not "Present Tense pt 2 that isn't quite as good".

What if they did an album with St. Vincent? Would you explode?
