jesus christ "Grease" called, they want their songs back

WTF happened to this band? Yes I hated BS too. Riot Act looks like a masterpiece compared to this shit.

I just completed listening to the 4 new songs, and saved this for last, because everyone seemed to hold it in the highest regard. and its really just like - what? Are the other 3 just that bad that this one which is totally average and uninspiring is viewed as "good"?

Does anyone here play the guitar or drums? Do you realize how boring and easy this crap is to play?

What the hell - Mike McCready was like "oh this is better than backspacer" and "it sounds like pink floyd"

What about this pop crap sounds like pink floyd?

OK so the much-anticipated sirens may sound like pink floyd. But this is just more of the same filler garbage. I hope on this tour they don't bump any of the old good stuff for these tracks. Hopefully they just bump the BS tracks and swap in this new time-untestable stuff and do the same the next tour with the next new album stuff.

I mean, can we just get ONE salvageable track that is worth keeping in the live setlist? MYM sounds OK. Might close a set ala DTE or get the show moving early ala hail, hail. But it is increasingly becoming apparent that MYM is a one-off STBC style track.

WTF man this band is just so consistently disappointing these days. Soundgarden came back from the dead and their album kicks ass. They get up on stage and fucking shred. PJ spent 4 years on a fucking infomercial soundtrack and get in front of 100,000 people at the cubs stadium with 900 tons of merchandise and play twinkle twinkle little star and yet another generate 4/4 time uninspiring wuss rocker with lyrics that Ed thought up on the way to the stadium. The nerve. Are PJ fans that dumb now? Or is it that PJ does once again have mass appeal, and the tyranny of the majority with their lack of discriminating taste are just gobbling up whatever is bird-dumped into their mouth.

Fuckin eh.

Can the next album producer at least just tell Ed to shut up a bit more when they are playing? He just never shuts up anymore. Its like boogie-woogie-doo-dah day all fucking day. Every fucking note has a word on top.

Can PJ audition a new singer? Can Matt Cameron stop dumbing down his fucking playing when he is with PJ?

Can PJ just give Matt Cameron back to SG fulltime? He is not needed in order to play this puss-ball mundane dogshit.

Fuck me in the brain.

Sirens better kick ass this shit is just not happening. Please get this PJ tour over with so that Soundgarden can get back in the studio.

The irony is that this hater is actually very articulate for a troll, but has a dumbass username consisting of numbers.

I don't see a hater. I see a very frustrated fan who just pressed stop on his record player in the middle of "Last Exit" to listen to new leaks and... naturally went ape shit mad at his favorite band.

I like this song, and I've got nothing against Incubus, but I don't hear it. Though I guess I only know earlier Incubus. Is there any specific song you could point to?
No song in particular, but the style and delivery reminds me of later Incubus.
I know what you mean..if "Anna Molly" and "Black Heart Inertia" went to a listening party for their last album "If Not Now When" and went home and wrote a song this would be it.
:lol:

However hard this album ends up sucking, it will never be as bad as that one.

it started out as a nice metaphor until he got out of control with "near-barren tundra" (tundras are always near-barren, you're just looking to use as many words as possible to impress yourself) and go with either "spiritless" or "ordinary", using both here was again just looking for as many words as possible which ultimately has killed any flow the sentence and metaphor had at the beginning. don't be such a pretentious douche bag. more words don't make it better. in fact, this is poor writing because of too many adjectives. write on an internet forum like a normal person, unless you're actually a good writer which you're not.

Jorge's a great writer, I'm just glad he promotes his blog and music-writing instead of his RM posts.

Don't they all? I mean DON'T THEY ALL? I write so much in this forum because I secretly hope some music magazine / journal has talent scouts scanning the Internet for new journalists.
