It's still fake, but now more people are acting like it isn't.

Which is... significant, surely.

It's a token of our openness, of our need to not disappear.

Where's the sponge?

The coalmine f*cker has it.

PJ of late: Formulaic. RM of ever: Forumulaic

Mind Your Manners = The Fixer (first single)

Future Days = Just Breathe (second single)

Lightning Bolt = Amongst the Waves (third single)

I'll believe the LB tracklist when I see it in my hand, until then, they're all fake.

Apart from MYM not sounding like the fixer, that works depressingly well.

I bet Infallible is stone.

I like MYM much better than The Fixer.

Amongst the Waves is better than LB.

Future Days is better than Just Breathe.

Here's a word: "Serendipitous."

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

Yes.

Yes, at the moment, but not necessarily when we hear them play it properly.

Not really.

Why doesn't anyone like "Where's The Sponge" ?

Instant Classic.

[epilogue]

It's not that I don't like it, it's that I don't buy it. Maybe I'm wrong, but...

Once we know for sure, I'll talk about how I feel about the song title. But for now, there's no reason to really believe it's a thing.

I loved it when it was an 8 minute sideways jam written by Matt. Too much fixin'.

I still can't believe this

I think people are reacting to the fact that, 4 years after Backspacer, they're putting out a new version of a song we've already heard. This gives the impression that they're running low on creativity and are turning to cannibalizing their solo work because of a lack of inspiration.

I pointed out "Betterman" as an example of a rehash that worked, but I think there's a difference in that Vitalogy only came out a year after Vs. There's less built-up expectation.

Exactly, if it's true - that SBM is on the new record - isn't that like copying a term paper you wrote for one class and handing it in a year later for a different class?

If you're going to just cut and paste songs you've already asked us to pay for, why not give us 13-15 tunes on the record, then?

It's developing a previous idea further, which is fine with the professor's permission. If it is just the uke version reappearing then you're right.

What do we think of my 'They came back after the break and Ed fixered this album to the point that not even BoB is happy' conspiracy theory?

I wonder which song was penned by BOB.

"That's What Young People Do" - secret track.

ugh. Most dishearting quote about this album so far.

Yeah i think it beats Jeff- 'I got no clue i haven't listened to those songs in a year' and Stone - going from 'I think it's gonna alienate people' to ' it sounds like pearl jam'

what could have alienated people more than Backspacer II?

Once again, PJ are finding their world fame absolutely overwhelming so have created the genius off-kilter work Backspacer II to shrink their fanbase further.
