There are only 2 truly great songs on this album, Sirens and MFS.

This album has two "classics": MFS and YM. Pendulum is in the next bracket (ie great song) followed by Get Away, MYM and Infallible (above average). Remaining are comme ci comme ca to disposable. End of.

Those are all really great songs (Pendulum is still a 4 star song for me). I think every track on this album is good to great. There are no weak tracks besides FD (which is growing on me).
That said, this album is kind of starting to bore me besides those 2 tracks I mention in my post above. Those are PJ classics to me now.

Future Days is absolutely the low point of this album and possibly PJs entire career. Fucking awful awful song. I agree though that the rest of the songs range from decent to amazing, so still a great effort at the end of the day.

FD isn't awful. The arrangement is awful.

Old enough. How old are you? I would wager you're exceptionally young to spend 80% of your waking day on an unofficial PJ message board. Low blow?
