I love after the first chorus how they just let it breath a little bit rather than Ed jumping right back in.

I would have guessed Stone on the guitar so to hear Mike is a slight surprise.

Wow, I think I might like this a lot. Never in a million years did I ever expect PJ to become interesting again. Huh.

I'm not convinced it is, not entirely. There's for sure a bit of cheekiness to this song
That’s what the background voice is singing.

I resurface only for new PJ albums, Star Wars movies and Damon Lindelof shows.

I like it. And I'm really pleased to see a new direction for them.

Every play is satisfying and exciting. They finally found a new creative juice. A juicy juice.

Yeah this could definitely be the case. Will have to hear it live.
One of those things isn't like the other. Nobody associates filing things with growing their dicks. See: Virginia gun lunatics

This is precisely what I like about it. It's like a tease before you get to the melodic second half of the song.

special shout to that wonderful synth melody in the chorus! Absolutely lush and beautiful. I imagine this was Jeff's work on synth. Bravo. Brilliant.

I've decided that I truly like 45 non-consecutive seconds of the first minute of this song, but don't like the rest
