I'd be pretty fucking pissed if I died before getting to hear this record.

Not as pissed as you’re gonna be after you hear it :haha:
I would be too if I had to hear it from a cellphone’s speaker and a guy talking to me at the same time.
haha. what a way to listen to the first PJ album in 7 years.

It was on iPhone earphones. Those ones you have to use left and right. But not that they’re much better than the speaker.
Tho to be fair the sound on iPhone speakers from 7 onwards is pretty impressive.

Well fair enough. Why was your friend talking to you during songs lol. But I get it, it didn't leave a good first impression. I felt indifferent to alot of PJ songs on my first listen, so you definitely need to let songs grow on you.

Nah not at all I was just giving random thoughts as we went. He was writing for the most part. Do love when songs or records finally dawn on you way down the road. Or artists for that matter.. Hasn’t happened in a long time personally.

Because this all sounds like a bunch of bullshit. Here’s a test: give us one lyric that isn’t known to us yet that we will when the album releases.

I remember taking a class called “ Psychology of persuasion” in college. One of the key takeaways was if someone gets this defensive, they’re full of shit.

Given Boris’ policy or ‘let nature take its course’ to balance things out I’d be worried.

Thank you. And exactly that. The ones I personally don’t like tend to be the ones I struggle with and listen to most. ST I’ve listened to probably more than most and I still don’t get it.
I’ve never hated or even disliked a Pj record out the gate. Usually just to excited to get new music to form a thought. I’m sure we’re probably all the same. Only comparable first spin for me in terms of immediate reaction is Riot act.

‘Well. It’s new songs I guess. Shrug’.

For me it’s all about how they are live. And they haven’t been here in ten years and my touring to see them is over so it could be I’m being cynical and even a bit bitter. But it’s earned certainly when it comes to being over how much I’ve had to travel to see em

Not that that will be a problem for the next year at least.
I’ve always enjoyed your input/opinions on here whenever a new PJ album is dropped. Sucks you don’t find the new album enjoyable but for me, S/T is near the top of my list and Riot Act was the low bar in terms of album rankings. I enjoy hearing both positive and negative reviews as I’m soaking in everything about the new album (and super stoked I just must say) . I think that’s what makes this band so special...different strokes for different folks :)
