Yeah - agreed. I made a similar comment last week when it first dropped.

I DEF hear Breed in the guitars. So much so - I’d argue this song is some sort of (accidental or intentional) homage to grunge or older PNW sound (listen to the guitars in the beginning and in the verses).

I think it also supports the idea that Watt’s strategy was to use a ‘something old/something new’ approach.
fwiw my kid gave Running its first listen today and said "it's the PJ of old or something close to it"
I am sorry Val but your kid is an idiot

Is this a credible threat of violence?

It sounds a lot like a badly rendered CD-R full of Kazaa downloads, so, even though I can’t hear shit about what’s going on in the song, there’s a certain nostalgic value to it for me.

By the time the song ends, im not sure what happened. There is just this smoldering fire of sorts. With Eds final scream.....
