harmless wrote:This album is a bit like raiding the Pick-n-Mix at the cinema, and you grab all of your favourite colours and textures and tastes to put in the bag. But when the lights go off and the movie starts, you reach into the bag, put your first morsel in your mouth, and realise you accidentally picked up chocolate raisins instead of chocolate peanuts.

All of which doesn't put me off the movie, and I might even try another chocolate raisin, just to make sure I don't hate it, because most of the stuff is nice. And even if I find I still don't like the chocolate raisins, I'll still find it fun to throw them at the couple kissing in the next row. The album will go where I wanted in the rankings.

Canon: Ten-Riot Act

Good latter-day PJ: Lightning Bolt

OK latter-day PJ: S/T and Backspacer

So all we get out of you after 3 months and 10 billion pages is that you kinda don't mind chocolate raisins???

It was all about the journey for harmless. Never the destination.

I think that other thread should now be renamed: And, on October 7th, Harmless rested.

Then you realize how much you love chocolate raisins!

It turned out way more accessible than I would have imagined. But..its not a bad song...I know I'm going to like it a lot..I just need to get past the initial shock of it sounded like it does.

I think most people feel similar to this - I know I do. I wouldn't be surprised if, in 3 months, this song climbs to #1 for a lot of people.

McParadigm wrote:Guys, describing your feels about a song by telling how many stars/points/whatever it got out of 5 is about as valuable as grading a paper by putting C- at the top and offering no other indicator as to what the person did right or where they screwed up.

Vignetted!
