Re: Pendulum
The atmosphere for this song should be their old stage set-up where they just had the five big candles behind them.

It's just not. Not at all. The chorus is satisfactory. The verse is absolutely dreadful. It's a horrid opener. Seriously. The. Worst. Opener.

Well, you just said you liked Future Days, so it's probably fair to say we have very different tastes.IlluminEddie wrote:tommymctom wrote:

Of The Girl. It's terrible.
Release, Oceans, Long Road, Sometimes... whatever... name it... it's a better opener.

I've heard people say that it's not their favorite song, but you're the first person I've ever heard say it was "terrible."IlluminEddie wrote:Of The Girl. It's terrible.

Re: Pendulum
Shut up about Of the Girl. Why even debate if its good or not? Its amazing. /derail
Pendulum fucking rules. After Backspacer, I was certain this side of PJ was gone forever. Its like reuniting with an old friend. This song could have easily have been written in 2000-2003. Spacey, atmospheric. I wish it was twice as long as it is.

This song should have been the first song on their first post Riot Act album.

Yeah. I feel like you could condense the last three albums + Let it ride and CC into one great post RA album.cutuphalfdead wrote:This song should have been the first song on their first post Riot Act album.

Re: Pendulum
Trying to decide if this trumps Parachutes for best post-RA song. I could go either way.

Of The Girl fucking OWNS, especially as an opener. Wish they'd bring that one back.

Re: Pendulum
the very best on the record
i think it would have worked perfectly as the soundtrack to 'Dead Man' by Jim Jarmusch

I think its the pendulum of life throwing you forward and backward against your will, or something.benton netty wrote:"Pendulum throws" was a lyric in "Undone." Just realized that. (So that makes two songs with this nonsense phrase in it.)
Yeah best song on the album.
