I am excited to hear the song now for a new permanent association with Rocky training montage clips. Can we make this happen to the snare is timed just so?

I was expecting this to suck hard to im not surprised. BUT i really wanna know how someone like, let say, Jonathan Cohen, who is a die hard of the band and has good taste can say something about this one without calling it horrible.

OK, this was/is the one I'm looking forward to the least. Yet, I think Ed sounds pretty good on the clip. The song itself is not what I want on a PJ album, but I've made my peace with the fact that it will be there. If this is the worst Dark Matter has to offer, I'm really looking forward to the album (leak).

And no, it really doesn't sound anywhere near as cringe as Future Days to my ears. It's very pop, yes.

I was about to press play on this clip again when I bit my tongue really hard while eating lunch. The pain made me lose focus and I ended up not listening to it. When I was done cursing and swearing I realized it may have been a sign.

Been digging this vocal melody since the relentless pounding.

Kinda wishing I didn't listen to this clip, not disappointed at all though. Just want to hear the whole thing.
