We've really got to start coming up with synonyms for "cheese."

If it's cheese, it's cheese of the highest order.

I would probably jump all over that kind of decision because frankly you shouldn't be basing your levels of patience on a prior track record. But not knowing you personally you're more than entitled to make your own mind up - what I think is irrelevant.
what other criteria should I base my patience on?

crap, I'm 10 pages behind. this question will never be answered
I'd merely say judge the band to the high standards you've always judged them on in the past. But I just remembered you actually enjoyed Backspacer so perhaps you're already doing that.

I hold the band in high accord. This is the first time they're truly retrofitting qualities into their music that aren't even of their contemporaries but of their publicly declared mainstream successors. It's abysmal behaviour - the kind one would expect of those of a lower calibre. I'm not the kind of individual to complain about a betrayal or being intentionally alienating but this is brazen self flagellation.

I'm judging this album in exactly the same way I judge any other pop album. Does it make me smile from ear to ear and keep doing it? If yes, it's succeeded. This is the only criteria you need for this kind of music; it's just a bonus that PJ surpass it and have some depth added to the mix.

Trying to discern the lyrics and the statement this song is making. Generally, it's pretty obvious, but I have to say I really don't get the second verse of this tune. Does anyone else find it out of place relative to everything else going on in the song?
