It’s too good to let go.

I just hope it’s treated carefully.

Ed comes up with wonderful songs that the band often fuck up out of all shape.

Can’t keep is the only successful rendition comes to mind
if they keep it tasteful it should be fantastic. it's also a nice register for his current voice.

With a handful of exceptions (I think we all know who), the collective here at RM really is the best group of PJ fans.
Winner of the "Taller than Danny DeVito" competition. Also: :lol:

1. Buckle Up (this has to be the opener, right?)

2. Quick Escape (classic 1-2 punch of fast and hard-hitting)

3. Dance of the Clairvoyants (perfect spot for a mid-tempi single)

4. Superblood Wolf Moon (similar to In My Tree, Why Go, and Severed Hand, put the heavy psychedelic song here)

5. Alright (the five spot is a good place for another light number)

6. Retrograde (sounds like a song that would close out the first half of the album)

7. Seven O'Clock (because seven, right? And I wonder if this is a Matt song, in 7/8 time?)

8. Who Ever Said (now I'm just guessing)

9. Comes Then Goes (still guessing)

10. Take The Long Way (still guessing)

11. River Cross (assuming it's the organ song, that'd make for a good pre-closer)

12. Never Destination (sounds like an album closer to me)
hall of fame post
*hall of lame
I imagine Buckle Up as a sub 2:00 hard rocker ala Lukin or Comatose.

The first single in the last track? I guess that could fly in the digital age. Maybe.

I'm assuming you're getting this from here, which I believe was just Dimi reacting to the titles as they were discovered:
FYI - That's not the Greek.

It’s usually the other way around.

All this frantic excitement makes me long for the lazy lull of RM circa 2017-2019.

I always thought I’d cross that river, the other side distant now
As I got close it turned and widened, the horizon now fading out
Oh drifting off in the undertow, can’t spot a figure on dry land
And afterthoughts of safety when in truth, none to be had
I used to tell time by my shadow, ‘til the thunderclouds, they took the stage
The days will end as do the light’s rays, another read of the same page
Wide awake through this deepest night, still waiting on the sun
As the hours seem to multiply, find a star and soldier on
Only then beneath the lion’s paw, knowing nothing can be tamed
Don’t hold me down
Don’t hold me down
Don’t hold me down
Don’t hold us down
Don’t hold me down
Share the light, don’t hold us down (x6)
