Ironically, "terrible version" might be the most descriptive and revealing comment we've had so far about SBM. Shame she didn't say "Terrible song."

I'm gonna get my Supersonic aren't I :|

I like PJ's rock 'n roll leanings, honestly, I just don't want horrible 'fun' lyrics.

Cheers dude. Overall, are you happy with the album? Do you feel it has staying power? Will you need to retrack it?

You're a lucky man.

That's the fucking best version of my last name in a long long time. Sounds like a Greek dish gone wrong. It's Meeuwsen BTW.

Great job with the doodles. Can you tell me please whether you could make out any of the 'Let The Records Play' lyrics? How much does it resemble Supersonic?

It doesn't. It really is a fifties kind of track. Backbeat, handclapping...The song even starts with a reference to Elvis in the beginning of the lyrcis.

I can't remember which reviewer it was, but one of them said it was pretty much the same except for drums. They didn't hate it but not much had changed. It's hard to hate that, really. The most worrying review of the song so far was this one: "terrible version".

Super. There's a chance I might like it then. Kind of Eddie Cochran / Leavin' Here vibe maybe?

As much as I rag on PJ fans for being obsessive and weird (and I include myself with that), it's cool to see people creating Youtube videos, doodling in notebooks or just reporting back on the forums about the new album. Big thanks to those on the Pit, on here and anywhere else that have reported back so far, it makes the wait that more bearable.
