Re: Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread
Pendulum's a nice little song and all, but I think people are overrating it. I think b/c it's fairly unique in the PJ catalog and it was among the first snippets of LB we heard, leaving people to wonder where else that little nugget goes. It's 1000x cooler than Unthought Known but they both suffer from the same "this doesn't really go anywhere" thing. It ranks among the better songs on the album, but the mention of it being the best song since the 90s boggles my mind.

Re: Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread
I really like Pendulum but there are plenty of songs on Binaural and Riot Act that are much better.

Re: Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread
As much as I like Riot Act - I still think I'd rather listen to Pendulum over any individual song on Riot Act

No they're not. And you're not doing them any favors by telling them so. Best to start letting them down gentlyLament wrote:These two men are very astute in this observation.Birds in Hell wrote:Yeah, seriously.cutuphalfdead wrote:Most of Riot Act is better than Pendulum.

To be fair, most of Riot Act is better than a lot of good PJ songs. Pendulum is still an excellent song.cutuphalfdead wrote:Most of Riot Act is better than Pendulum.Rangi Guy wrote:Binaural maybe, but I'm struggling to think of a better song off Riot Actcutuphalfdead wrote:I really like Pendulum but there are plenty of songs on Binaural and Riot Act that are much better.

Re: Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread
Dave, I'd be right there with you if it weren't for All or None. All or None is tops on RA for me, and Yellow Moon is topping L/B. If those two were to fight it out, we'd be basking in the sweet glow of the Yellow Moon. Now, if those two were to have a baby...Rangi Guy wrote:As much as I like Riot Act - I still think I'd rather listen to Pendulum over any individual song on Riot Act
