Red Mosquito

The atmosphere for this song should be their old stage set-up where they just had the five big candles behind them.

It's just not. Not at all. The chorus is satisfactory. The verse is absolutely dreadful. It's a horrid opener. Seriously. The. Worst. Opener.

It made me think of that atmosphere and Indifference.

Well, you just said you liked Future Days, so it's probably fair to say we have very different tastes.

Of The Girl. It's terrible.

Release, Oceans, Long Road, Sometimes... whatever... name it... it's a better opener.

I've heard people say that it's not their favorite song, but you're the first person I've ever heard say it was "terrible."

Shut up about Of the Girl. Why even debate if its good or not? Its amazing. /derail

Pendulum fucking rules. After Backspacer, I was certain this side of PJ was gone forever. Its like reuniting with an old friend. This song could have easily have been written in 2000-2003. Spacey, atmospheric. I wish it was twice as long as it is.

This song should have been the first song on their first post Riot Act album.

Yeah. I feel like you could condense the last three albums + Let it ride and CC into one great post RA album.

They'd still have to write a few more songs to fit.

Trying to decide if this trumps Parachutes for best post-RA song. I could go either way.

Of The Girl fucking OWNS, especially as an opener. Wish they'd bring that one back.

ehh.. yeah maybe eddie shouldn't be on this one. or at least way, WAY further down in the mix with some reverb.

AKA the only artistically credible song they've released since Riot Act

the very best on the record

i think it would have worked perfectly as the soundtrack to 'Dead Man' by Jim Jarmusch

benton netty wrote:"Pendulum throws" was a lyric in "Undone." Just realized that. (So that makes two songs with this nonsense phrase in it.)

I think its the pendulum of life throwing you forward and backward against your will, or something.


Yeah best song on the album.
