I find it interesting the songs they’re releasing aren’t the ones people that have heard the album are hyped about.

maybe they want to tell us that the worst ones on this thing aren't that bad, I can appreciate that

It’s sounds like filler content music with Ed Vedder shoved up its ass while he gnashes and snares all recorded by a toddler who pushed all the levers to MAX. Fucking hell

Anything you don't like about it?

It’s not too chintzy I suppose!

But then again that could be a negative too

I think if PJ are gonna do that, they just need to do it well, and this is done well enough

I don't agree that PJ are just "dumb now"; Lukin, Red Dot, always dumb; I can allow them one on each album as long as it doesn't suck

But Lukin is awesome. Whipping is awesome. This spritzy punk shit didn't start until Backspacer era where it kinda permeated throughout the album, with "Devo" influences on GSMF, Got Some, and bad songs like Supersonic and Ole.

Running had potential to be so much better.

I have a special hatred for got some. The audacity of a song to promise you that it’s got some rock song if you need it…when it so clearly doesn’t, is tepid, and tries to hide the mountains of suck behind a few spacey licks

I like SuperSonic and GSMF

so PJ as usual then

I honestly can't believe that they're releasing pure back-half album fodder as a second single.

hey hey, Vindicator I'm definitely not saying this is as good as Lukin (but at the same time, I don't think there is as much holding it back from being Lukin as you might think; it's the production values, I'm telling ya)

He actually says ''not like about it". It was a sarcastic jab. You should be less honest, he thinks. I guess he feels sorry for them.

I think it's the word salad delivery to start the track "got me running got me running " ugh. It reminds me of the bad parts of Superblood Wolfmoon and worse, Ole.

I'm telling you, they could have rebuilt this whole track around that awesome bridge as a chorus and we would have a great song. I literally got a bit of chills the other day when the Running clip dropped, only to have it all be deflated, which I admittedly was half expecting.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to lock the album thread til it drops?

I was a bit over the top. I get vestibular migraines and don’t usually listen to music this maxxed out anymore. I think I find that production or mastering too harsh to enjoy. I loved Gigaton too and hoped they would build on that songwriting but the dynamics here don’t sound well arranged or by a band locking into a groove. It sounds like a green day riff that way explained to the rest of the band and Ed giving his damndest to give it life.

Lukin goes "AH-FUCKY-FUCKY-FUCKY-FUCKY-FUCKY-FUCKIN'-HOME"... it's also word salad
