Quick Escape

[armstrsj]

Fuck. They had this in them. For whatever it’s worth release it as the next single.

This is gonna sound weird, but this is the song that sounds best while looking at the album cover.

[evenslow]

Having gone back to this one a few more times, I think it's only OK.

I wouldn't say it's a song I particularly enjoy while listening to, at least not at this point.

Perhaps I'll feel differently once I can hear it without the transcode murk, but I'm a little doubtful.

you're insane.

this is an odd thing to say. and you're totally right.

[evenslow]

No way I thought this band would ever sound like the last minute of this song again

committed, on fire, almost desperate. those sentiments don't match "i'm JA and i'm 57."

they brought it.

Absolutely

Name another "rock" song by a band 30 years in, with the guys all in their 50's, that grooves that hard and sounds that lively and unhinged. There might even be one, so let me know, but this has to be way up there.

this is a great question. we should all think about this as our project for the day.

the only band that could possibly compare for me is NIN, but I can't think of a particular example

This is as good as you can ask for from PJ 2020. What a great song

This is currently my second favorite song on the album (behind Who Ever Said). Like many others are saying I like the groove of this song. Not only that but this song rocks hard! Probably the heaviest song on the album with that closing guitar solo alone. The guitar solo gives me Ten vibes big time and the groove is very much like No Way.

I heard No Way too

some 30 years in (give or take) candidates:

Rolling Stones - You Got Me Rocking
U2 - No Line on the Horizon
REM - Discoverer
Metallica - ???
Red Hot Chili Peppers - ???
Rush - ???

nothing i can think of is anywhere close to the playing and ferocious energy found on Quick Escape.

Yes! It has that little bit of a stomp that I enjoy from No Way.

[VinylGuy]

Jeff is on fire on this one, really.

[Gigalogy84]

I'd be very surprised if anyone voted 1 or 2 for this song. I think that's impossible. The vote for 3 is kind of a head scratcher but hey everyone has their opinions.

Very similar groove it’s just way heavier and more sludgy (and I fucking love No Way). I want PJ writing more of these mid-tempo stomps.

I agree. I would have loved another mid-tempo track like this one included in the second half of Gigaton.

Man, you weren't kidding. That does sound weird.

That's probably a pretty complete list of candidates. I can't think of a latter-day song from any of those bands that beats this one.
