There's a reason I needed this song in my tourney tracklist . Wasn't the smartest since it was too new but it deserved a spot.
BTW does anyone here know if there was tab for this song posted somewhere in the thread?

If you add the surf guitar from this song to Supersonic, you get the Saved By the Bell theme tune.

This one is on now. Loving the guitar after the "lightining bolt" chorus. Good stuff Mikey.

I passed on the crappy earlier leaks so hearing this for the first time since Wrigley.
Not feeling it at all - Swallowed Whole seems to be a MUCH better song...

I'm not a huge fan of this song and feel it is one of the songs that was impregnated by Brendan O'Brien. I don't need no damn Dr. Who sounds, xylophones or whatever the fuck those are and other shit that's he done here.
I like the build of the song, think the lyrics are a bit crap and I'll probably end up thinking it's a lower-middle-of-the-pack of the PJ catalog when done live.

other than the first few lyrics this one is actually quite strong. Some moments are really great.

This one's a bit all over the map - it little Frankenstein assembled.
I kinda like it, kinda meh. I do like the outro though.

Too long, too many different parts, all of which are meh except for that first groovy solo.

The great thing about this song (maybe the only great thing) is that it's a Frankenstein song. If these parts had fit together in a standard way, it would be a very predictable "anthem". It's that off-kilter structure that lifts it out of boring and obvious, where "Unthought Known" was boring and obvious, IMO.

I really like this tune, but I don't know if it fits with the majority of the album. That's after only one full listen though.

i think if it was more of a frankenstein i would like it more. hearing the band talk about it, it sounds like they were going for a gtf kinda feel. i dunno, but i dont think of gtf when i hear this song.
