It grew a lot on me when it came out. I was singing it all day.

It kinda faded now.

Is that really what he says? "Little bullshit whore"?

To me it sounds like "let the bullshit walk..." But it's hard to tell.

I'm not sure what he's saying but I'm pretty sure it isn't "little bullshit whore." I don't hear that at all.

in the video from the latest Lollapooza show, he says, "What a bullshit lie" (or, "little bullshit lie"), but i have no idea what the line is on the studio take

i'm pretty sure at lolla he said "let the bullshit lie" and in studio he says "let the bullshit walk".

Makes more sense than "little bullshit whore" but is considerably less funny

Just to clarify should I be letting bullshit lie or walk?

Ole is a jam. Super tight and bouncy, and that bridge is cool and the outro is pretty sick too.

Can't Deny Me has a very high favorable gap between my first impression and most recent one. It was a solid D grade on the first listen and has inexplicably become a solid B (on a good day a B+, which is it's absolute ceiling because of that bridge). I've spun CDM many many times at this point, it's become a repeater and it's almost become stuck in my head in weird Max Martin-esque fashion. It's simplicity is initially disappointing bc when you first hear it it's "one of these again?" but now it's stuck. I don't know if it's stuck in a good way or annoying way but I now have to spin it a few times a day.

I've come around on Ole a little over the years. That riff is nice, the chorus is cool, and Matt is tight, but sounds a little looser than usual. I still don't like the "Ole" part, it kinda grates on my nerves like e-vac-u-a-shun.
