Not so much this . Well I probably shouldn't but I will do a little leaking. The lyrics as i remember.


Ruling a fortress invested in please
Not so much to believe
A scape goat need not be tethered
When the flock has been scattered ewww
Eeeee
Why Can't you see oh oh heee
Left eye shut right eye blind
Left to protect .you chase your tail
Round and round .
Pride in the grass.
Whiskers to the wind.
Why Can't you see
This is all really remember

why is "pride in the grass" the funniest line here?

there’s a workable metaphor here

Whiskers to the wind, baby!

I loved the Earthlings album so I think I'll like the new PJ too.

That's where I am right now too.

This is where I’m at too. I love what I’m reading about Watt lighting fires under butts, getting them to play and compose together more, helping them play to their strengths, distilling down the elements to their unique strengths, etc. But if “heavy” ends up sounding like “Good and Evil” on Earthlings… barf.

I do too, mostly; it would be nice to have a slightly rawer version and no "The Haves" though, if I'm being picky

Ditto. "The Haves" is impossible to defend.
That 3 track run with "Brother the Cloud" -> "Fallout Today" -> "The Dark" is pretty solid.
That and "Try" is definitely my favorite.

While not a big fan of Gigaton. I will say that 1-3 are fantastic really brilliant. Alright and Buckle Up are the best sounding songs from a production standpoint. Gigaton's biggest flaw is when Ed's delivery is bad it derails a few songs with great potential River Cross and Quick Escape.
Earthling's production is not great from a sound place, however it's not offensive . I would guess Andrew pushed Ed on these songs and got alot out of him. My point being with out Andy may we get a much more predictable Earthling album. .
I think Jeff and Stone maybe could be the push back that is needed as far as sound goes. They probably haven't pushed back on Brendan in years.
We still don't know who the sound engineer is could be Josh Evans let's hope.

I just don't think it matters if the mix engineer is Serban Ghenea

I don't know who this Serban Ghenea character is, but they need to be "taken care of".

He's the guy who most often mixes Wotman's projects, including Earthling.

could make for a good live show, though, once they break free from Wotman's clutches

when was the last time we heard a new album song that was better live than on the album

this could be the one

Probably Half Full was the last time a live version totally reframed the album track for me

that version they played in Austin hit the spot

Many of the S/T songs grew new legs live.

The Fixer soundcheck.

It's weird that the album version has no groove at all for me. It feels like it stutters and sounds a bit lifeless, and I used to always skip it.
They absolutely nail it live, though. Those 2006 versions are killer, the highlight of the Paris gig for me.

Getting it in Budapest last year was a lovely surprise and it destroyed.
