Not playing in 4/4 = instant musical genius.

Love Matt's songs but think all of them would have come out better as Soundgarden tunes.

They're too old. Considering how "prolific" he is most of the band will be dead by the time he writes an album worth of songs.

musically You Are is pretty cool, but they turned it into a somewhat boring song. You Are is a great example of a song I really tried to convince myself was awesome when Riot Act came out because I wasn't sure when I was getting any more.

And, you know, probably some of the greatest PJ songs altogether.

True statements.

Say what you will about what he brings to the older material but ill be damned if his songwriting isn't the best in the band

The outro of Cropduster is top notch. Love me some 7/8 time sig's.
