Having had a few months to sit with it now, I still find this album incredibly underwhelming. Pendulum & Infallible can go in the upper echelon of PJ tunes, Sirens is mid-tempo pop-radio PJ, and everything else is forgettable. Except Future Days which blows.

I'd take Backspacer over this any day. And that's saying something.

It's distinctly missing a Christmas hat though. If Burt or Rick could add one, that would be great.

Yes, his solo has rather engorged testicles. It's pretty damn good.
