Just excited to get a sonically great PJ album from a production standpoint again.
I've almost convinced myself that I don't even care how good I think the songs are, at this point.
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

The font is from Ohana, not them; but yes, it makes the shitty picture even worse.

And I really wouldn’t have the energy to engage with anyone that came with shit after it. They felt personally attacked or insulted cos of an opinion of a collection of songs. Simple as that.

I'd like to hear your actual thoughts on the songs.

Edit: I just found out this is a legitimate font.

I thought you were joking that they were in their Beach Boys Kokomo phase at this point

Deep became a latter day favourite of mine on that album.
