It was nothing special.

New PJ album? - "I wish I had an answer. We've written a tonne and it's a matter of sorting it. Unfortunately we have shows.... We have song forms."

jeff rules.

This album is now available on Spotify in Australia. Woo.

There are moments on this album that I enjoyed yet I’m not sure I enjoyed any whole song. Lots of ideas and I need to listen again and I will. Jeff’s voice isn’t strong enough to hold my attention yet somehow the last song (Only One) reminded me of Win butler in tone and melody.

I could hear Ed on Are you Truing but only in parts.

Lots of ideas here and very rooted in early 80s think Joy Division, early U2, even Costello and The Atrractions, definitely The Kinks.

This bit worries me

Listened to the album, i really like it. Lots of cool thing buried in the background, some very interesting ideas and some very weird ones.
He sounds pretty confident and good too...the first half is very good, while the second one is more midtempo, more similar to While My Hearts...

The extended solo in Safe In The Car is sick.

Thats 1995 McCready right there.

Yea thats great. Sounds like he's using an old school analog delay as well again.

jeff played this, or he played a gabriel solo version? if jeff played it, i'm intrigued.

¨Drugs¨ is so fuckin weird!! but im loving it.

This is a fun record!! Love to hear that he is still inspired to create something new.

And that McCready solo....

These songs are far more interesting than what PJ has delivered in 10 years. I hate to say it. Not saying I like the songs more (though I might) but they are far more itneresting to listen to. Layers, tones, structure....all over the place, unique, and interesting.

Just let JA write on the music, let the band play on it, and let Ed sing.

Im loving The Voices.

*sigh*

I really don't want this on vinyl. I just want a CD.
