Take the Long Way rules. You guys need to take in some Cavedweller and bow at the alter of Matt Cameron. That one could have come right off of Cavedweller. Good stuff.

However ... never destination is actually a very intelligently written song with intelligent rhythms, changes, melody, and guitar playing.

It is not young person simpleton shit. Sorry you don’t like it. Maybe.

Is this all because The Rise of Skywalker was such a complete mess?

he said he heard it ahead of time and that we'd all see it basically sucked. we decided differently. so now he's holding strong to his original opinion by using Never Destination and Take the Long Way as his straw men for keeping the house of cards going.

the big problem is this record doesn't actually suck. it's ok dime, the water is warm on the positive side! let's enjoy while the world burns! we welcome you with open arms! arms aloft! :stickman:

Trying to pace myself with this. Just finished my third complete listen.

It's pretty remarkable that Quick Escape and Comes Then Goes can be cornerstones on the same album. What a showcase for the wide spectrum of talent these guys still possess.

I’ve always done that while I listen to albums. I also take notes on songs the first few times I listen to them. I want to remember my initial reactions while I digest the song and my opinions develop. Anyway, I listened to all the songs while reading the lyrics for the first time tonight, and that was the reaction I had.
