Wow, this is really good. It reminds me of 'A Whiter Shade of Pearl' by Procol Jarem.

I don't feel like this is as groundbreaking as it was made out to be. I mean ... it's good, but it's no Black 2013.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I'm getting more of a 'With Arms Wide Open' vibe.

It's also cool how Matt's breakneck-paced drumming sounds like a thousand footsteps running to escape the bombing.

Pretty much the best song Creed ever would have recorded. Too bad it's PJ. :shake:

Ok. I didnt wanna say but I'm getting to hear the whole record on Thursday. On headphones. I probably won't post about it cos I have a complete blind spot about all things PJ(except ST) so therefore I have trouble being honest/objective. But if its shit sandwich ill rail about it for entire pages.
