They're all dreadful except for "Dark Matter", which isn't exactly great. These guys are so corny now lmao.

Scared of Fear and Waiting for Stevie strike me as corny, but what's wrong with the rest of them?

the first time I looked at a PJ title and thought "oof" was Break(h)erfall

Ranking song titles is the worst thing this board did

[liebzz]

You mean worse than rating the album based on song title and what some pimple popper told a third party combined with metal door snippets?

[VinylGuy]

ok, you got me

[elliseamos]

Did I miss the new single?

[sweeper]

they should release the DM video soon i guess

Yeah, it doesn't make any sense to release the 1st single's video after the 2nd single is released. So probably another sign that the 2nd single isn't this week.

Also, one thing I've learned with PJ's "marketing" efforts, is there's about a 0.0% chance they're going to unveil the single sight unseen one day. They're going to milk it with some form of a teaser a few days in advance. So if there's a single coming this week that teaser better be hitting...like...now for the full song to be coming this week. That's how they roll.

You should do a frantic YouTube stream outside the venue afterwards.

I feel like heyfoxymophandlemamathatsme was a pretty clear “yikes”. When I read that title for the first time.
