Song of the Moment: Pendulum

[harmless]

The percussion is quite "Let me Sleep" or "Strangest Tribe." Anyone else hear that?

[stip]

I need to listen for it. Someone else said strangest tribe somewhere, so you're not alone.

[CupidStunt]

I think the line and delivery of "Easy left me a long time agooooooOOO!" could be the greatest part of the record. It stirs me in ways I can't describe.

[digster]

This song and Yellow Moon get close to that kind of 'spook', for lack of a better term, that's been missing in PJ's music for a while.

Thats such a weird effect, maybe it sound like hes singing really high pitched.

I don't know if this is what you meant, but they have a kinda....mystical? kinda sound that reminds me of the merkinball/no code era. Makes me think of i'm open and the open road improv and stuff like that. Yellow moon less so, its just missing the mark for me.

It sounds like compression distortion to me. Like, maybe they copy-pasted the vocal so it was on two tracks, and one they fed echo into and the other they compressed to the point of distorting.

But on purpose yeah? or are you saying it sounds like an error?

[McParadigm]

not an error

It's not so much a type of song, for me anyways...just, this, for lack of a better term, x-factor or atmosphere that most of their material up to and including Riot Act had. That includes a lot of different types of songs, happy, sad, difficult and poppy. Pendulum and Yellow Moon here instill that feeling that you're getting a peek behind the curtain that good rock music can do. Yellow Moon achieves this despite it's clinical, borderline antiseptic production.

i like this song a lot, but the reverb/vocal effect when Ed sings the line "easy come and easy go, easy left me long time agooooooo" made me actually cringe and laugh out loud

I like this lyric

[melonhead4]

This reminds me a lot of Of the Girl. It's fucking stellar.

Except this is good and Of the Girl blows.

It's a terrible song. Sorry. It makes me tear up when a concert opens with it - it's that bad.

Really? I always thought OTG worked way better live...check out Mexico 03 version, im sure u wont but thats a kick a$$ version

Ah a tiny speckle hinting at former glories. I get you.

I almost wish we get the full music intro we did on that tour video before eddies singing starts.

[stip]

i definitely wish that

[harmless]

i definitely wish that

[harmless]

The intro to this song is SO LOUD.

[taffer]

this is my favorite tune of the album.

especially in fact i really like heavy pj, and never bothered 'bout theyre softer things.

But this one, just a wow, i wish it could've been much longer 7-10min though.

Very dark and moody

5/5

"Pendulum throws" was a lyric in "Undone." Just realized that. (So that makes two songs with this nonsense phrase in it.)

Nonsense? A pendulum is a very common, maybe even cliche, metaphor for political change over time. Surely that didn't need to be explained to you.
