that was mine!

And I thank you for it. Because I cannot say it any other way now.

1) Kim Neely, Five Against One


I remember reading that book.
That book was supermarket tabloid trash
I think it also formed the basis for that bullshit Rolling Stone hit job on Eddie too.

There have been a number of artists over the years that have discredited Kim Neely
I wouldn't put much faith in anything written by that hack.

funny how, production-wise, gigaton sounds a lot more like a band playing in a room than this does, despite the fact they've stated it's the other way around.

what about the IDLESesque intro?

It’s good but let’s be honest, you take the singer away and Idles loses some luster

Blasphemy! The drummer is a beast.

Matt + reverb in the bridge = Pretty classic-sounding PJ moment.

Gigaton was lightning in a bottle for late PJ

Funny...Was thinking of Who Ever Said, in contrast, while listening to Running

yeah

Still reserving judgment on that. Do I think they still have more arty records in them? Yes. Do I think we’d have a cohort similarly complaining that they wish they’d just rock out and take names? Yes.

There’s no pleasing everyone. I am very hopefully there will be plenty on here to enjoy.

This album is going to have many good songs.

so is matt cameron but it doesn't make up for some of ed's "choices", or lack thereof

This song is certainly one that gets stuck in your head...for better or worse I guess. And I think I finally understand the production comments because it is so in your face here, but I think for the style and tone of this song it actually works. Liking this more and more on repeated listens.

Too bad their guitarists are completely outclassed by Stone and Mike

Maybe it's the best of both worlds with Gigaton and Dark Matter.

I feel like that's an apples to oranges argument. They're all excellent guitarists. I think the IDLES guys do more interesting things these days than Mike and Stone.

agreed.. can't imagine them doing a mike solo either

I like Ed's "FCGAUFGH" as the song ends

Classic punk rock trick having a major key happy go lucky melody accompanied by lyrics that are basically pissed off area man shakes fist at cloud
