Cornell is pretty damn nice to be PJ's go-to guy these last several years. Interviews in PJ20, showing up at PJ20, doing a tribute song on Fallon, etc. He even lets Cameron out of the gimp box for PJ tours. I hope they're paying the poor guy.

Someone mentioned it but i don't think it was this thread. Is he just on there for an interview or is he playing?

I'm in this club too. Except while I don't hate SH, I still feel it's one of the weakest tracks on the album.

If you stared into my eyes while listening to Swallowed Whole, suddenly it would all make sense.

I don't hate SW either, through I think it is easily one of the bottom three tracks on LB. But I really like LB a lot. Even Future Days is growing on me a bit, and I initially hated that song. Like I genuinely hated it after the Wrigley performance. But now I find it slightly better than tolerable.

Finally bought the CD yesterday (it was 23$!! ugh now I remember why I don't buy CDs anymore :gomez: ). anyway I've come to the conclusion that this thing sounds a million times better while driving. I tried listening at home today, and it just doesn't work nearly as well anymore. I can even listen to the whole thing start to finish* without wanting to skip anything! Even LTRP!

*Still can't bring myself to listen to FD, though. Sorry FD.


Wait that doesn't feel right... Go fuck yourself FD. Yeah that's better.

Can anyone put the Cornell performance from Jimmy Fallon on YouTube or something? Non-U.S. folks can't watch it :(

Just listened to the record while reading the lyrics (english is not my first language, so I don't always understand all the lyrics only by listening).

I'll just say... WOW :shock:
Good job, Eddie.

Still loving it. If any Sleeping by myself only one that Ill skip.

I really like what they have done with SBM. But it's to happy for LB.

Let The Records play is very cool.

Getaway LB infallible Pendulum are all 5 star songs IMHO
