I'm not one of those people, but man, it is a fucking masterpiece for a first record. No two ways about it.
Weirdly, or maybe not, it transported me back to that time, effortlessly.
No other Pj record has been able to do that. But I do listen to the others a whole lot more regularly and frequently, than Ten.

What a collection of songs though.


You're meant to start sorta crap and get amazing.

Pj seem to have done exactly the opposite. Somehow.
This post made me think of this:


Which always puts a smile on my face. "What is a better album than this? I listen to this like a mental patient."
While a Western guitar motif lost on the swings drum bass fusion, get your own thoughts into the subconscious often forgotten. "Pendulum" is a sweeping soul from the ballast.

Best album since ten
Better than Ten. This truly is a precursor to form.
Gold!
yeah, that was pretty excellent
I hope it makes the highlight-reel thread you said you were going to put together.
the one I wish we had, not the one I was going to put together. If someone wants to start sending me the posts I'll do it, though

When the Lightning strikes, sets us free, we should close this thread, but not after I've sent you my favourite twelve posts, and covered them in superfluous instrumentation.

We might have to get a team of five people to skim 200 posts each or something, then narrow them down from there.

Strat has had it for ages. Never seen him so confidentially and frequently be upset by a song, than that of his reaction to future days.
Ask strat. He's got it.

Exactly.
But how would we trust each person's judgement? We'd have to have a review process.

It could be sorted by band meeting and a democratic vote, with Stip being the final arbiter of taste.
