Ban Ruddo.
Totally agree. He's been dragging the board down for years and this is the last straw.

Sleep it off.

Out of them all this one is after creeping up on me. I hate when pj do punky fast stuff it’s embarrassing at their age.

Not this though. This one has it. It’s on the money.


No idea how they’re gonna do it live though :haha:

I’m enjoying running more than dark matter now. Running is so damn fun where it fits on the album. I can’t believe I don’t really notice this before, but the part at the beginning of the bridge, where Eddie sings “take off” and Jeff plays that slide down the bass, the whole band drops out for a second, and the sound of that bass with “take off” gives a sense of floating in space during the brief suspension, and it’s such a brilliant deliberate choice, right before Matt’s drums kick back in and bring it all back down to earth.

I avoided this when it was released a single and had some reservations going in based on the reactions, but I love it — it’s quite a little journey in just over two minutes.

They really go all in at that toilet metaphor though — maybe the song is a coy nod to RM’s poop thread?

Welp. Just heard this live on the Stern interview, and they killed it. I guess I'm coming around to it, so this album is basically perfect.

I'm firmly in the camp of whatever this song is doing. Jeff's bass propels it and the lyrics are fun. That's good enough for me. I want to hear it live.

He said in the interview he came in with the bassline and they built around that. They pretty much finished it in a hour.
