it's pretty clear to me that he's obsessed with recapturing the Ten sheen, but hitting Bon Jovi

I like overpowering snares, but only when they sound good; and what's with all the reverb everywhere? turn Ed down! this should have been a bad omen for what he'd do with Lightning Bolt

Been a while since I've seen it but that squiggly pattern, right?

I've been listening to Avocado a bit lately (spotify 2006), and I gotta say, the songs on it I love, I love hard! My only complaint is the introduction of screechy Ed. On Marker in the Sand, for instance, it's so glaring and unnecessary. Unemployable is growing on me with its increased lyrical relevance. Got me thinking about doing a pandemic PJ playlist. Alive, Unemployable, Alright all jump out as entrants...

Is this album great, or do I just love the last big PJ tour? Some of those 2006 shows are absolute fire.

It's a really hard-to-appraise album, because in some ways it has the last vestiges of their earlier sound, while it also has some of the hallmarks of their newer (BS, LB) sound. It still speaks with the earlier language (I think of Severed Hand, Parachutes) and it has that all-important sense of urgency. I was surprised when I did my album score thing that it came out slightly ahead of Riot Act, which I regard as a much steadier album. I think my takeaway is that for me at least, Avocado's strengths are stronger but its weaknesses are weaker.
