Just finally gave it a full listen. Ed's vocals ruined another song. The band is pretty good, I like their energy. Ed just sounds awful.

still if this is Dark Matter's "Supersonic", happy days

the other "worse song" potential goes to Something Special and I'm expecting to like that one

I hear old and new school PJ in this one. After a few listens… I’m in. It’s not their greatest… But I like it.

I liked it enough, im hoping this is one of those less than stellar songs and the band released it because, well its PJ and they always chose weird singles.

I love the energy and how heavy it is, but this could be Supersuckers feat Eddie Vedder too.

Minor fun song in the context of the album, i hope.

My favorite part of a new song's release is being able to predict a user's reaction almost to a T.

PJ's token punk rocker. IMO, it's too straight. Lacks any real depth that comes through in their other punk rockers like Lukin or Comatose. Also, still wrapping my head around their tone on this record. Are they playing PRS guitars through Mesa Boogies? Not likely, but it's much more synthetic than I'm used to from the band.

The overall tone is unfortunately very displeasing to me. I don't enjoy the general aesthetic of neither Dark Matter nor Running.

I really like the bridge, but the solo is generic AF

Lyrics seem likely to hold this one back as much as anything.

:thumbsup:

This is where I sit after a few listens as well. This type of song will never be more than a 3-3.5 star song, but it is solid enough.

Absolutely LOVE the music in this song. But then Ed's vocals... yikes. Bummer.
