he is fine, as this particular episode occurred during the depths of chud's rather unfortunate "coke, cock, and cars" phase

this particular period has been affectionately referred to by various posters on the board as chud's "fast and spurious" days

I like that you have all this cataloged internally.

You are an important part of the computer.

It feels like an RM April Fools joke, hence why I have it graded at "It's OK" for now. Rest of song could be decent, but really tough to digest that melody, or lack thereof.

I'm all for songs making more sense within the context of the entire record. This one sounds very basic though. Really demoey. I'm not going to say uninspired cos I only listened once and I'll wait for the record. As of now though, nah.

I said this in the PJ bitching thread, but this is about as bad as it's ever been here. The wait in between records, coupled with I'd argue a less-than-well received three new songs is giving new material to trolls, etc.

But that isn't really saying much, there is just too much good music out there in the world to get real excited about this.

This comment has always been true in regards to any band.
