Does Go qualify as really fast? Or is that just regular fast?

Na, it's not really punk fast. It's funky and aggressive but slower than the others in tempo.

Habit is really not that fast.

It's quite a bit faster than 'Go'.

As far as tempo is concerned, it's not. And as far as the rest goes, the guitar riff and drum pattern make Go feel faster... To me anyway.

Yes it is. It feels faster to you, as you say, because it's more aggressive. But tempo-wise it's definitely faster. This is a mistake that 'PJ' is almost certainly making. I'm not expecting a very fast song.

I just tapped them both out in Pro Tools. The tempo is almost identical.

I don't feel like I won, if it makes you feel any better. I feel like a bastard.

I know someone who has heard some of the new PJ music and here is this person's take on it. It's not a lot more than what has been posted from Australian and South American media, but it's from someone I know and I trust their excitement and knowledge of the band.

His quick review made me all giddy about new PJ music. I just love that feeling. So I wanted to share it with all of you. I love this band. God how I love this band.


Mind Your Manners is REALLY fast. Fastest song they've had in 15 years. Maybe inspired by the Ramones and definitely reminiscent of Spin The Black Circle.

And then Sirens. Wow. Epic song. 5 minutes long. Lots of piano. Soaring vocals. Really layered sound. Some effects on Mike's guitar. I loved it!!

I didn't get the name of the 3rd song, but I liked it, too. Not as much as the first two, but a good, solid PJ tune.

Heard Mind Your Manners twice - it will be the first single.

PJ also just gave his review of the songs he heard from the album in the comments section of our story from yesterday, “The last two records have been billed in the pre album hype machine as their best since Vitalogy… except this one legitimately is. I’ve heard 4 songs. Shit is hot fire.” He also reiterated the points he made in late May regarding the announcement.

4 songs and the guy's already annointing it the best since Vitalogy?

Yeah a bit premature, but this guy has predicted everything correct thus far so at least we can assume that the info is legit.

The real question is - who is this guy?
A) Brendan O'Brien
B) Joseph Arthur
C) The Rob
D) Matt Chamberlain
E) Dude from Incubus
F) Disgruntled Former Underling of Tim Bierman

Not in the studio, at least.
