Red Mosquito

I don't seek out ST much but when I do I look forward to WWS, the front half of that album is solid imo

I mean if I were PJ I'd keep playing it live as a joke/passive aggressive thing for the fans to complain about.

I don't think they are aware anyone dislikes it. I'm sure it gets a great audience reaction at shows.

PJ (and I imagine most famous musicians) are so exposed to so much fawning adoration from fans that sometimes I wonder if they're even aware of some of the criticism they get from the more specialized corners of the internet. I bet they'd be bemused by a lot of it. "Huh? The chorus to 'Gone' is 'bad'? Lol. There's a group of like 20 dudes online who don't like 'The Fixer'? Lmao."

*19 dudes!

Agreed with Jorge, I doubt they are surrounded by people who provide any sort of constructive criticism.

I disagree in that while they never publicly acknowledged it, they did scrap an entire album and fire the producer.

OK, but they must see the empty seats during Even Flow.

And the booing/jeering/tossing of quarters during the George Bush song on Riot Act.

Bammer, what is your height and weight? I'd like to calculate your BMI for you for one of the weight/wait loss threads.

You gotta find the sweet spot for this schtick. Right now you’re overdoing it.

Fair point, it's still in its early stages. I need it to get weirder and have some ideas.

The over posting is also a nod to my early 2000s epic "Coach is on a posting binge" moment. Unfortunately, I believe those posts (and the thread made about it) are long gone, but I do have a tendency to binge post at times like now but it is starting to quiet down though.

Let's get Stone and Jeff in here. I'm sure we can make it happen.

thought this meant lyrics as well as music, which would explain everything.

FFS please stop letting Mike write songs.

I’ll give Jeff a pass for the artwork bc it’s a dud out of a great portfolio.
