I wonder if 10 Club has secretly sent employees onto the forums to talk the album up.

You can search my history. I am not always complimentary of the band. There is the possibility that I was hired by tenclub ten years ago, in an evil scheme to promote this particular album. It may be a long con.

I was hired by them in 1994 to promote album #12 in 2024. So it's possible...

Holy shit. That album will be complete garbage. Good luck pretending to enjoy that one.

I really don't want to listen to it again to refresh my memory, but there are references all over the place. Part of the first song is the chorus of World Wide Suicide. One song is a ripoff of Tremor Christ. Another sounded just like Low Light. There are little references all over the place. There are a few other places where I recognized chord sequences from other bands' songs as well. Someone noted the lead guitar part from that Shania Twain song in one song which I noticed immediately and it put me right off.

And as I said, that's not really the point. They could still reference past songs and do a good job of it. That doesn't happen here.

Get off of the fucking cross people.

Sweet, has your CD arrived? If not how on earth can you comment properly on production. The stream isn't the best quality.

I'm a new member so if I'm retreading that line, I didn't mean to. I'm just a bit frustrated that some people seem to not want to give the material a chance and it seems to me that shitting all over Future Days and Sirens is getting tired too. They may or may not be the greatest songs in the PJ catalog but they don't deserve endless bashing. I mean, for Christ's sake, R.E.M. made an entire record that not even the entire band likes (around the sun) and if you really remember them because of that record, then you're ignoring a hell of a lot of good music. I feel the same way about the bitching over those tunes in particular.
