I do need to qualify that comment by saying that there are some songs that I think are compositionally superior to LTRP that I do not enjoy listening to as much.
I just cant get past the extreme cheesiness of LTRP. It's such a dopey, lifeless turd.

What the hell is that gif from? Because it's clearly the basis for Will Ferrell's character on Eastbound & Down.

It's Ric Flair and, yes, he was the inspiration for Will Ferrell's Eastbound and Down character.

I thought that I was about the only one on here who like Getaway

I would say the piano outro at the end. Always a song I think more of when it's on than when it isn't.
So basically, Johnson and May spent Trump's presidency fighting each other over how best to sell the NHS to Trump.

Could've been good if the "production"(ya know what I mean) didn't suck. I think.

One of my favorite moments on any PJ record. What an awesome chorus.

I actually like a lot of the music on this album. More interesting and different than what was on Backspacer or Avocado IMO. Just wasted opportunities though; the songs sound really uninspired as a whole, maybe coz they're so slick. But at the same time I'm thinking it's a step in a new direction. :|
