As a collection of songs, I don't think this is PJ's strongest album, but taken as whole piece, it is more than the sum of its parts. So much so that I could see this being my favorite PJ album, even though I've always been a Vs. guy.

It's definitely their richest album sonically. Every moment seems to be exploding with layers of sound, but carefully orchestrated and mixed so as to never become messy, convoluted, or busy. I feel like I'm always discovering some new nuance every time I listen.

No Code is a really great album that probably could have ended at Present Tense even if I do like Im Open and Around the Bend. Habit is kind of awful and I hate In My Tree, the rest is

Present Tense is one bazillion percent better on the album than it is live. I love that album cut so much.

I have to disagree, this song takes on a brand new energy live. That ending while live is just soooooo good and intense.

You should hear the version Ed and Glen do. It's great.

No Code and Vs are my favorites albums.
I think they both capture what i love about the band.
