Jeff is the last bastion of hope in this band. Keep fighting the good fight Jeff. I dunno what stones doing, maybe he just flipped bob the bird and walked out after 'what is that riff?'

I'd be interested to hear the sirens demo.
I don't think it's as clear as that. We have MYM and Sirens on the same album, which is kinda nuts. I think they just take it song by song, some BoB wins, some he loses.

Maybe that answers my question earlier about why its so long. Maybe they are like "ok we'll go with this sound but no chorus and we'll have it twice as long so it wont be driven into the ground by the radio".

Yeah agree with all about the "un-catchy" chorus. I think it has the potential to do very well, but I can't see this blowing up on the top 40 list or anything even if shortened for a radio edit.

Mom strikes again over at the pit

That place is really difficult to enjoy.

I keep going there looking for tickets. And I'm doing some fantasy league thing for the tour, but man, it's getting worse suffering through some of that shit

To be fair, although Kat and the 10C aren't my thing, sometimes I wish we could clamp down on negativity here a bit more. But overall I like the freedom of speech here, so I'm here. Constant cries of "this is awful" when you're not even into the band anymore are very annoying.

Negativity directed towards a song is just talking about how you feel about that song. If you want to talk about negativity as an irritant...
You must see that you're just incredibly boring now, right?
Bit long in the tooth for the hipster bit lads
Of course everyone who adores Floyd and hates this song is going to disagree.
A lot of Floyd fans unwilling to admit how cheesy they are :lol:
'Pearl jam didn't meet my personal list of demands for their new songs so therefore they suck and this is the worst song ever'

Go hug your mom and get over it. Or at least try grow the fuck up a bit.

I have no problem with people expressing distaste for something, but that's not the same. But obviously this is a "Pit post" so I'll leave it there.

I think Sirens is the best thing they have done since Nothingman (my fav track of all time)

This is a bit like me pointing out how terrible a review was but because there was a single positive line in it, I was completely wrong.

We're both good at it. We would make a great team.
