Who Ever Said

I love 2:34-4:30 on this song.

[stip]

This song is kind of exhausting on first listen.

my reaction too, though i did like it

[tree_]

i like the chorus

this actually feels good to me

cool musicianship mostly and ed doesn't sound terrible.. good enough range for him

3.3 stars

[Ms Harmless]

that first bass note makes no sense, it's a false start

Thats what i love about many of these tracks. You can feel the band in the studio together. Unleashed. Not cut and pasted.

that's a good point; there is more "accidental" ambient studio noise in this album than we had any right to expect in 2020

Did I hear "something something circumcised" in the lyrics?

[bada]

It's better on 2nd listen. I think maybe I just had to come to terms that I might actually enjoy new PJ and now its blast off.

[Strat]

This is the most rock AND roll this band has ever sounded

On second listen I can hear a little more of the band that made Backspacer in this song. Which is not an insult just an observation that I missed the first time. I like the mania in this song but it's less raw and a little shinier the second time around for me.

[Strat]

From about 2:45 on is just fucking superb.

[evenslow]

this one was hard to wrap my arms around on first listen. didn't help that i had last exit in my head.

I don't get the Last Exit comparison at all. Not even remotely close to it. This is more like a classic rock era Aerosmith does a Lightning Bolt era Pearl Jam song.

[Strat]

was hard for me to wrap my head around it due tot he ambient intro. It went the complete opposite direction and im still dealing with that.

[Coach]

the end sounds a bit like the jam on Habit....
