I have a huge soft spot for dumbdumb goofball punk though
I think if PJ are gonna do that, they just need to do it well, and this is done well enough
I don't agree that PJ are just "dumb now"; Lukin, Red Dot, always dumb; I can allow them one on each album as long as it doesn't suck
But Lukin is awesome. Whipping is awesome. This spritzy punk shit didn't start until Backspacer era where it kinda permeated throughout the album, with "Devo" influences on GSMF, Got Some, and bad songs like Supersonic and Ole.

I find it interesting the songs they’re releasing aren’t the ones people that have heard the album are hyped about.
yeah, 3 stars to me. Im also eager to hear those. Im not surprised they released this one or Something Special, which seems another low point in the album so far.
I'm stunned that this is the single. Sounds like such a glib toss-off
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

Running had potential to be so much better.
I have a special hatred for got some. The audacity of a song to promise you that it’s got some rock song if you need it…when it so clearly doesn’t, is tepid, and tries to hide the mountains of suck behind a few spacey licks
Just listened… this makes Superblood Wolfmoon sound like something from Binaural… this band is a creatively burnt out piece of carbon from a previous artistic chemical reaction that they channelled so well up to Riot Act. It sounds so goddamn forced while also having no clever ideas. Have they ever released a rocker with the riff so boring? It’s sounds like filler content music with Ed Vedder shoved up its ass while he gnashes and snares all recorded by a toddler who pushed all the levers to MAX. Fucking hell

Ed just sounds like he's struggling so much to keep up and remember words and hit notes the way he wants to. He hasn't the confidence or ability to carry a song like this. I don't understand why he refuses to do what he does well.

haha, I'm not quite at that level of disappointment yet but I enjoy your rage

so PJ as usual then
I honestly can't believe that they're releasing pure back-half album fodder as a second single.
