be careful with that here
Haha. I don't really post here enough to care if I'm rustling some jimmies. Just like my opinion man.

There are a few of us who agree but we get yelled at and called names

Imagine what, say, Jack White would've done with this song, with his vocals I mean.

I think if PJ are gonna do that, they just need to do it well, and this is done well enough

I don't agree that PJ are just "dumb now"; Lukin, Red Dot, always dumb; I can allow them one on each album as long as it doesn't suck

That doesn't make sense. Why would Andrew Wotman be your GF? Maybe make it Albini?

Thing i like: Unconventional structure

Confused on Eds vocals. Can't understand a word he's fucking saying.

I sorta wish it was done less well. Sometimes the mess is the best, and you should just leave the rest.

Move that bridge into its own song, and fill up that space with more tomfoolery. Get yer gravitas off my lawn

I liked it enough, im hoping this is one of those less than stellar songs and the band released it because, well its PJ and they always chose weird singles.

I love the energy and how heavy it is, but this could be Supersuckers feat Eddie Vedder too.

Minor fun song in the context of the album, i hope.

Bridge is very cool, solo is generic AF

I give it a solid 2.5, maybe 3 stars. I like it enough.

I find it interesting the songs they’re releasing aren’t the ones people that have heard the album are hyped about.

I hear ya, but I feel like they'd have to be in their scratchy production era to pull that off

we should feed stips other write-ups into ChatGPT and predict what he might say about this new song
