Is he trying to sing like Ed here?

I think it's real.

Okay, so I kept going with this, and my imaginary version of PJ released two follow-up albums.

The first follow-up got weirder and a bit rock-ier. Sort of early Flaming Lips-esque. A lot of people probably made fun of how much they sang about Christmas. The band seems to be having a lot of fun playing together. There are quiet songs, but they are never out-and-out sad/depressing. It's KD's favorite album and stip's worst nightmare.

6. In the Moonlight

10. Get Right
11. Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town
12. Someday at Christmas
13. Mankind
14. Long Road
15. Let Me Sleep
16. Yellow Ledbetter

Then they seemed to get angry. Things felt noticeably less fun. Their playful buoyancy was replaced by tongue-in-cheek defiance. The music felt much more aggressive. Their quiet songs seemed to veer into more overtly gloomy territory. By the end of the album, a lot of people were somewhat concerned for their well-being.

I like where your head's at but take out 4, 5, 9, 11 and 14 and you have yourself sweet perfection.

No see they always release long albums but each one gets shorter

That playlist looks killer for me. Interesting considering how much we tend to disagree about this band.

Maybe I like it because it lacks balls.

This is (arguably) my favorite side of the band. I'm not sure about Release as the opener, though.

The transition from Release to GTF is so good, though.

I mean, yeah. I love them both and together as a unit they are also great. Maybe I should give this a shot before making more judgments.

But first-- How much did you tinker with the order?

What do you mean? Like are the tracks carefully sequenced? Because hell yes. Sequencing is all the fun of making mixes.
