I just heard pendulum the other day. The music is still ominous and foreboding in a way that few of their songs are, Eddie sounds really good, and the outro is something that feels fairly different for them. It's not an all time classic, but it's a very good song.

Just a Girl is up there with brother as one of the few misfires of the Ten age.

I like Pilate. It's a fun song. I even like the chorus (I'll take that over Habit any day). I prefer it to a few songs on Yield. But that bridge is hugely overrated round these parts, and Pendulum is better.

Pilate.

The bridge in Pilate is the best part of any of these songs but overall I like Pendulum best.

Pilate stands out to me as the turning point when I decided to remain a PJ fan and so many other people bailed.

Friends in high school were like "hmm, this kinda sucks" and I was like "no it doesn't, fuck you."

Just a Girl for me, there's something about it that I really enjoy.

It's Pilate. Chorus and all.

Second weak matchup this round that I've seen. Pilate, I guess.

You guess wrong. Go back and do it again

I like the space Pendulum inhabits, something a tad different, unexpected. Not mad keen on the "ah-ah-ah-ah-aaaaah's", but its a small complaint.

Just a Girl I can't recall and haven't got a copy available to re-listen.

Pilate is...alright. 2 shows and I've heard this live, so that's something. And I too have a dog, so that's something else.

Pendulum it is.

Just A Girl is very good but Pilate is so much better.

Pilate has come along way for me. I really disliked the meandering verse and that horrible chorus in the 90s. It has since revealed its' charms and is now unskippable.

Pendulum is a good LB song but it doesn't touch Pilate.
