The percussion is quite "Let me Sleep" or "Strangest Tribe." Anyone else hear that?

I need to listen for it. Someone else said strangest tribe somewhere, so you're not alone.

I think the line and delivery of "Easy left me a long time agooooooOOO!" could be the greatest part of the record. It stirs me in ways I can't describe.

This song and Yellow Moon get close to that kind of 'spook', for lack of a better term, that's been missing in PJ's music for a while.

I don't know if this is what you meant, but they have a kinda....mystical? kinda sound that reminds me of the merkinball/no code era. Makes me think of i'm open and the open road improv and stuff like that. Yellow moon less so, its just missing the mark for me.digster wrote:This song and Yellow Moon get close to that kind of 'spook', for lack of a better term, that's been missing in PJ's music for a while.

It sounds like compression distortion to me. Like, maybe they copy-pasted the vocal so it was on two tracks, and one they fed echo into and the other they compressed to the point of distorting.stupidmop wrote:Thats such a weird effect, maybe it sound like hes singing really high pitched.CupidStunt wrote:I think the line and delivery of "Easy left me a long time agooooooOOO!" could be the greatest part of the record.

It's not so much a type of song, for me anyways...just, this, for lack of a better term, x-factor or atmosphere that most of their material up to and including Riot Act had. That includes a lot of different types of songs, happy, sad, difficult and poppy. Pendulum and Yellow Moon here instill that feeling that you're getting a peek behind the curtain that good rock music can do. Yellow Moon achieves this despite it's clinical, borderline antiseptic production.stupidmop wrote:I don't know if this is what you meant, but they have a kinda....mystical? kinda sound that reminds me of the merkinball/no code era.

The intro to this song is SO LOUD.
Re: Pendulum
Posted: Tue October 08, 2013 5:41 pm
this is my favorite tune of the album.
especially in fact i really like heavy pj, and never bothered 'bout theyre softer things.
But this one, just a wow, i wish it could've been much longer 7-10min though.
Very dark and moody
5/5

Nonsense? A pendulum is a very common, maybe even cliche, metaphor for political change over time. Surely that didn't need to be explained to you.benton netty wrote:"Pendulum throws" was a lyric in "Undone." Just realized that. (So that makes two songs with this nonsense phrase in it.)
