It’s the best song from the last two albums.

Lightning Bolt is better (marginally) than Backspacer.

It's better than the Christian-rock / U2 crossbreed that is "Amongst the Waves"

It's a good thing we have our shared love of Ricky Rubio and beer...

So far Sleeping By Myself is only number 16. Not very good in this competition.

Unthought Known, Supersonic, Speed of Sound, Amongst the Waves, Yellow Moon, Swallowed Whole, and Force of Nature are all indistinguishable to me. I have no idea what any of those songs sound like even though I just finished listening to some of each one to make this list. The top five are the only songs I like.

My hatred for Habit is well documented, but honestly Swallowed Whole might be my least favorite PJ song. It isn't bad or offensive or anything like that. It's just so boring and uninteresting and not at all memorable. At least Habit evokes a feeling inside me. Swallowed Whole is just... fucking there.
