A lot of the things I'm hearing (weird titles, synth-y vibe) give me more pause now than they may have when PJ was at their most consistent creative high. But I'm also definitely excited to hear what it is, and what to make of it.
this definitely still has the possibility (likelihood?) of being not so hot. like i said before could easily be a swing and a miss, especially so far into their career. we're all just holding onto the hope that they made a sea change and genuinely went for something more artistic.

who knows? that's the fun of it.

I know someone has it a while now.

It’s been in the can for a lot lot longer than you’d think.

I don’t get why they just don’t drop it. It’s kind of outdated this build up.
Trying to apply an old method using new means.

It’s worked I guess people are biting

on the one hand they should just throw it out there. on the other, i get why they think they should build it up seeing as it's been almost 7 years. throw some chum in the water and watch assholes like me salivate.

This is very encouraging. I'm curious to hear what the bands add to the arrangement.

That actually makes all the sense. Never thought of it that way.
Thank you

no official title but i think people called it Share The Light. River Cross is the way cooler title.

1. Buckle Up (this has to be the opener, right?)

2. Quick Escape (classic 1-2 punch of fast and hard-hitting)

3. Dance of the Clairvoyants (perfect spot for a mid-tempi single)

4. Superblood Wolf Moon (similar to In My Tree, Why Go, and Severed Hand, put the heavy psychedelic song here)

5. Alright (the five spot is a good place for another light number)

6. Retrograde (sounds like a song that would close out the first half of the album)

7. Seven O'Clock (because seven, right? And I wonder if this is a Matt song, in 7/8 time?)

8. Who Ever Said (now I'm just guessing)

9. Comes Then Goes (still guessing)

10. Take The Long Way (still guessing)

11. River Cross (assuming it's the organ song, that'd make for a good pre-closer)

12. Never Destination (sounds like an album closer to me)
hall of fame post

I posted it here him playing it live here in Dublin and hoping and praying it would make the cut.

It’s too good to let go.

I just hope it’s treated carefully.

Ed comes up with wonderful songs that the band often fuck up out of all shape.

Can’t keep is the only successful rendition comes to mind
