I feel like there are three groups of PJ fans:

1. People who hate the Fixer.
2. People who like the Fixer.
3. People who get AND like the Fixer.

William Zanzinger likely never wrote a song as poor as Can't Deny Me, though...
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

I have a long history of being puzzled by their lead singles.

I was thoroughly disappointed that NAIS was their lead single, I am Mine I just shrugged my shoulders. STBC I was confused (but love Tremor Christ as a b-side).

Animal, Got Some, and Given to Fly really excited me
