I have personal experience that females like a side of PJ that dudes can only tolerate. I'd like like to hear how the ladies like the record, I bet they hate what all of you are bananas about.

The Apatow interview was pretty great.

Matt almost starting to cry just talking about Marlee and Me was great.

You're going about it the wrong way. Alot of us are disappointed with the album, but you seem to just be shitting on it without explanation.

It's fine if you want to criticize the music, but why do you have to criticize other peoples taste?

You are like one of those overly sensitive people where you can't even say 'hi' without it being an attack of some sort.

I, like most others I'm sure, haven't tried to change your opinion or even provided counterpoints to why we might perceive you are wrong. Its your opinion.

If anything you just come across as an asswipe and maybe that accounts for the defensiveness??

My wife hates the album. Her cheese meter is far more sensitive than mine.

Actually, I think the only thing people are calling him out on is the: "PJ fans must be convincing themselves this is good" comment. That assumption is just nonsense.

I'm especially impressed with the usage of the word "females" - I feel so... non-human. I need to go listen to Ed to help me with my femininity. he's dreamy. only when he sings the ballads, of course. rockers? mid-tempo? reflective? punk-like? experimental? yuck!

I'm a female and I don't quite know how to take this comment. :thumbsdown:

On this album, my favorites are currently Infallible, Pendulum, and Yellow Moon

Nomorecrackpipes, why don't you just cut to the chase: change your username to Mr. Misogyny and be done with it?
