Supersonic = Serendipity at its best

Had EXTREMELY low expectations for this song, based upon the short clip...

After finally hearing the studio version...WOW! Killer song with a sweet break-down guitar solo--will be a concert staple for years to come!

I just don't understand all the naysayers for this one. It sounds like it easily could have been No Code/Yield era...vintage PJ sound!

    I'll somewhat buy that...I'd go with more of Mankind + Lukin + Comatose.

    Definitely has a Ramones vibe.

    Yeah Ive heard quite a few negative comments about this one (and of course each to their own) but I think this songs is an absolute standout. Just love it so far.

    Hit me harder than anything off Avo....more so than Comatose
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    It's...."okay" at best.

    I sure as hell hope it's not the second single release before the album though. :shock:



    I do love that bridge though!!! That's good stuff!

    well it seems to be the bside for fixer so it wont be the 2nd single... but that brings up a good question; what will the second single be?

    On the other hand, I love Supersonic. Wasn't feeling the youtube clip either, but after seeing it in Chicago, im hooked!
    Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...

    I love the way the chords slide. It's Mankind with that sort of "sliding" sound.

    Agree fully. I love Yield stuff so much!

    Funny, I think the bands intention is completely opposite what their intention with No Code was. Supersonic is very catchy and polished unlike anything on No Code.. No Code was designed to be anything but mainstream. If anything it could best be described as a Vitalogy song, but I'd rather this album stand on its own.

    How could you have low expectations? I've only heard the itunes clip and think it sounds amazing.

    Almost reminds me a bit like Satan's Bed the way the lyrics are sung (not the music itself). Can't wait for the whole record!!!

    heard it live in Chicago - first time I'd heard the whole song. Listened to a pretty clear version on Youtube last night. ended up listening to it like 15 times and told the wife that it was going to be my fav song on the album, and maybe my fav since Yield. i love the simplicity and how hard it rocks.

    supersonic on that 7 inch white vinyl is fucking awesome people.

    the breakdown in the middle of the song is classic PJ.

    I didn't like it very much at all when I saw the London vid. Showed my wife (nearly as big a fan as me) and she's like "that sucked".

    Once I started listening to studio, it started growing on me like a weed. I can't stop listening to it now!

    As for the bridge... probably my favorite part. And it sounds so... idunno... tongue-in-cheek kinda winky at the end of the two repetitions (I'm no musician, I don't know what the music nerd terms are for what I'm trying to describe). Seems a little silly, but still pretty badass. And then boom, right back in!
