Not a return to any previous form but hopefully a suitable evolution. While they want to be a bloody pop band I'm having to review my hopes. If the themes are consistent, the eclecticism could work.

Edit: it's a reaaaal possibilityyy..

u dont think they have an eclectic mix on their albums?

Not in a wacky, poppy or trippy way. I guess when I think of 'eclectic' I tend to think of totally weird juxtapositions. They've always got a wide variety of styles on the albums, but not real darkness clashing against cheesy pop.

gotcha, i agree w/ that

so having mankind along side lukin, red mosquito, i'm open, and sometimes isn't "juxtaposition"?

Don't forget that, in addition to taking up valuable album real estate, SBM will also be taking up valuable set list real estate, coming to a 2013 North American Tour near you soon!

Well, anything alongside anything is a juxtaposition. I did mention 'totally weird' ones, and no, I don't think those tracks sound totally weird together. They're all basically different style of rock song, with similar production values. Britney Spears next to Bob Dylan next to Kraftwerk next to Metallica next to a baby farting then giggling would be weird juxtaposition.

As will FD, LB, MYM and in Australia/NZ ThrowYAAM.

There's 5 of your 28 right there.

My interest in this track is fast diminishing, and the fear is setting in. However, it's track 3 right? That's interesting to me, because that's like laying your cards on the table really early.

i don't think we could agree less... but i'll ponder for a fortnight and respond.

I'd swap sirens for my fathers son though, in terms of whats really intriguing me. Have no clue what that could sound like.

Leaving heres kinda 50s right? Ive always liked that and soldier of love. LtRP could be ok.

Swallowed whole seems to have a kinda better days hippy dippy earth song thing going on lyrically, but the corresponding picture seemed kinda dark.

It seems most people will just deem sleeping by myself as unnecessary. I hope is just that rather than awful though.

Yeah I nearly left Sirens off the list but any track that has so much hype (from Mike and Bo'B) does have me interested.

father's son and infallable seem intriguing. i dont mind the idea of a 50's pop rock song, i just hope it doesnt remind me of backspacer.

Read a few posts up, he's told me it doesn't sound like Supersonic. Real rock 'n roll sound apparently. Phew.

A band like the Pixies, even Frank Black's solo stuff, is more eclectic than PJ ever were.

Fuckin BoB though, I don't trust him. Nor mike for that matter, hed say anything was awesome . Plus people keep saying "beautiful" and when that happens you usually get cheeseballs.

And yet BAG BOY sounds like they're trying to retread everything they've ever done. Return to form. . . . .

Maybe. But I don't know. Help me out, fucking crazy bands that clash styles together... any ideas?
