I still hate the intro. The drum intro is so unnecessary and then the weak guitar riff right out front with no low end or vocals....i think thats what i originally was turned off about with the song. When the bass kicks in and the rest of the band...along with the vocal melodies....thats when it all begins to feel right.

But man that first 10 seconds or so....

having just discovered this forum, i've spent an unjustifiable amount of time the last few days reading this thread, and others because, seemingly, like many of you, i'm in full geek mode over the possibility of a truly inspired album from pj. it has been a while. first, i must say, many of you are fucking hilarious. Truly, hilarious. i'm all giggles reading these threads. Second, and with regard to SBWM and Gigaton in general, i'm hopeful and happy. to register a platitude some will flame but all believe deep down, it is remarkable that PJ remain intact and creating. really, remarkable. there is so much pain and hurt and suffering in the world (another platitude) and all around us. to quote mat kearny, we're all one phone call away from our knees. having an affinity for this band, scrutinizing the tiniest details of each new release, and hashing it out with a group of people who share the same affinity is a blessing, and it's really cool to. like many of you presumably, PJ owns the rights to several entries on the sound track of my life. i'm grateful for them (that's the third platitude). by the by, SBWM gave me the LOLz the first time i heard it through my iphone speakers at 5:30 am the other day. now i've played the gd thing 50 times and in love. rock on pj.

I know it's an incredibly straightforward drum beat (and sounds like Undone) and the first riff is also really simple, but I like how it starts with just a solid beat before it comes crashing in. I dunno, it does it for me. I feel a lot of excited anticipation in those first twenty seconds.

the drum beat promises more than the fairly flat musical intro, is my issue. it ends up feeling deflating. if you jumped right from the drums to the first verse (i can hear you...) it works much better i bet

someone do that and post it, please!

Enjoying the variety of influences I’m hearing in these two singles: The Who, Blondie, the Stones, the Kinks, Van Halen, The Breeders, Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel.
