I've just realised I don't drive and I want to be able to drive around with this album like I did with my dad when I was a kid.

I agree, but it was once a pretty divisive album in these parts

So I should just shut up about my opinion? I'm hardly the only one here who doesn't like Inside Job, dime. Not a single band member in PJ is a poet so that's pretty irrelevant.

No never! But inside job is good stuff to us laymen
Not to all the other laymen who hate it, apparently. :) But as I say, I don't hate it, I just don't like its lyrics except for on days when I'm feeling particularly sentimental. Thing is, Sirens will work for me even when I'm not. I'll be able to sit outside in the street considering whether to throw myself in front of a bus with this song in my headphones. That's not Inside Job.

I'm with you completely. Gonna carve your name in a heart with mine on a tree tomorrow with the date


Actually tins of trees here have that. Crazy seeing ones all grown out from 20 years ago
Wonder are they still friends or loves now

He won't care there's a new PJ album out now but it was a real bonding experience when I was young.

Team. We dodged a bullet not putting too much expectations in so far.

I wouldn't want to listen to Sirens while driving. I'd probably just drive into a pole.

My dad would be driving, so I guess I'm saying I have utmost trust in the guy. I probably never learned to drive for good reasons...

Yeah. I went and bought every album up to and including Riot Act in my dad's car, and we'd drive around blaring it out afterwards. And then life just happened and I moved out.... yanno.
