For real
Eddie wrote "Future Days" and "Just Breathe," and Eddie and Mike wrote "Sirens." Stone wrote this. That's how.

but Stone also wrote LTRP

there isn't as much calculated rhyme or reason to this band as some people like to think, imo; they've all struck gold and written duds

I wouldn’t categorize it as the worst PJ song ever but it definitely does not belong on this album. It should be a b-side/lost dog.

Not a fan of sweet lew, but I also haven't listened to it in a long time.

Whale song is awesome, whoever wrote it.

I find this song super boring and easily my least favorite song on Gigaton. I’ve played it for a few friends and each one has had basically the same comment that this will be a pee break song at any future show. I don’t agree with that, I think it will be the perfect time to get my next beer.

This song is a boring, one trick pony. It doesn’t do anything interesting, and the melody isn’t pleasing to my ears. I’d rather listen to Parachutes 100 consecutive times than Buckle Up twice.
