the only album it is okay to throw Let it Ride or CC onto is S/T.

For fucks sake, why do you think we have rules about these things?!

it's 48 minutes long, Harmless.
I like long albums :)
Just add CC and LIR. :thumbsup:

THEY DON'T BELONG THERE! You don't get to add sad to to S/T, just because it's a good song and wasn't on a formal album
:lol: I'm not doing it myself, I'm happy with LD as it is. Regardless, I don't know if they'd fit but it would be interesting to find out if they did.
Have you graced the board with your LB review yet?

I retracked Lost Dogs and put these on them. It really did wonders for me.

that and sirens (for very different reasons) tend to be the two songs that have demanded further listens before making up one's mind.

Sirens has actually been one of the more polarizing songs in the larger music press. People either think it's the best song on the album or they really hate it.

this album requires a few listens. I dont think doks gives a shit enough about PJ anymore to do that.

That is unfortunate :(

the last minute is my favorite part. I never thought it was terrible, but this song took me about 10 listens before I connected with it. Now I really like it. I don't think this would ever be in your wheelhouse, though.

lightning bolt: i just don't care for this side of ed's songwriting sensibilities. no amount of additional listens will make these kinds of melodies appeal to me.
