Maybe Stone is the problem

Still waiting on the CD Bundle and the Vinyl from Ten Club. Both say pending in my account. C'mon Santos!

By the way, did anything interesting come out of the Youtube chat? I saw that EV and JA joined but no recap of what they talked about.

there's two very different ways to read that: an off-the-cuff "that's fine!" between friends, or a cynical "whatever, you fix it, it's FINE"

He mastered Backspacer. Doesn't mean I'm not excited for this, because the best quality I've listened to so far is V0 MP3 and even that sounds nice.

No. It was 100% meant in a positive way. Like: «of course you can change it, you are the one that’s going to be singing it.»

Really really weird that someone would read a negative into it.

That Evans interview makes Seven O’Clock even more interesting. Picking out pieces of an hour long jam and putting them together for a song.

They better keep working with him.

Love this album. Anyone else reminded of "Ordinary World" by Duran Duran in "Seven O'Clock"? I love Ordinary World so this is not a dig.

I actually listened to it, all the good songs are at the beginning (minus Superblood Wolfmoon, what a piece of shit) and then when it gets to song 7 (I think, whatever the extremely dad rock sounding one is) it falls off a cliff into suck city.

you're listening to PJ in 2020 with surviving anxieties about "dad rock"?

Sounds like Take the Long Way was totally meant for Soundgarden and they are being weird about it. Would be great with high register Cornell vocals in the chorus. Interesting that EV gets songwriting credits for Dance, when Matt and Stone wrote it!
