also, the instrumentation in LB's outro is just uninspired.

Real talk question:

Would thodoks ever admit that the album is actually good? I mean, at this point, would go completely against every personality trait you have created for yourself.

haha, of course i would. i love pendulum, and, were the album constructed thematically and musically around the instincts displayed in its creation, i would have happily consumed the album, and announced the unexpected return of my affection for the band.

i'd only heard the live version of pendulum, and definitely prefer it to the record version

Lightning Bolt has actually grown on me more than any other song on this thing, which is pretty surprising considering how rough it sounded at Wrigley.

Interesting, I thought the exact contrary! I found them very significative.

there are tons of horribly incorrect things you've said throughout your time here on RM. This is one of the most.

Musically, sure its a departure from others, but lyrically I think this song does fit in to a really cohesive thematic discussion throughout the album.

Yeah, while I've liked Infallible less on every listen, I've unexpectedly warmed up a substantial amount to the title track.
