    UNTHOUGHT KNOWN!

    Amongst The Waves isn't half bad either though.
    I have no patience for bad music and stupid people...

    The whole world will be different soon the whole world will be RELIEVED

    Amongst the Waves

    UK is BORING. It's like a less intersting version of LBC combined with an Incubus lyric

    Unthought Known
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

    Amongst The Waves by a mile.

    Unthought Known is boring...another stinker of a song a'la "Come Back" that only starry-eyed Eddie fanatics cream over.

    "Unthought Known" by a wide margin. I KNOW I am going to get flamed for this but I don't see what's so great about "Amongst the Waves"...seems kind of cheesy to me. I have NOOOOOO idea why, but every time I hear this song it reminds me of "Without You" by Motley Crue. It makes me cringe a little. Maybe if they did a video for this song, Mike or Stone could wear a Monica Lewinsky beanie like Mick Mars did.

    Flame away.....I probably deserve it...and I probably don't.

    I hope the EP isn't a bunch of bullshit. I don't believe it yet. Its nothing they've done before and a band like Pearl Jam with extra material... I'd believe there'd be a lot of pressure to save it for a full album... for $$$ reasons.

    I hope they do drop an 7-8 song Ep. I mean... BS was only 11 songs. Not that much difference.

    Stone and Mike have let it slip in interviews that it's coming.

    yep!

    though i still kinda dig come back.

    UK has a boring guitar progression that doesn't really change throughout the song. i liked it when i first heard it on record and i was tired of it basically right after the first time i heard it live in seattle.
    i have a paper here that entitles me to fast track status

    Unthought known is the best song they have written since Binural. Amongst the waves is ok but feels uninspired. It's PJ trying to write what they think a PJ song sounds like. I do like the song but i don't feel like I'd be missing something if I never heard it again

    man . . . I don't know . . . I really like both, but Unthought Known might be ahead by a slim margin.

    Unthought known By a large margin. Best song they have written in years.I'd have to say that the band agrees that Unthought Known is a better song, they played it all 4 nights at Philly!

    I really liked ATW at first, but it bored me very quickly. It's just not a great song. I fell for the hook at first, but I see through it now. I skip this song often. Force of Nature is also better then ATW.

    I completely agree with all of that. I feel like Force of Nature is really underrated; it seems like a lot of people don't like it. I don't understand how that's possible at all.

    Unthought Known grabbed me right away, the lyrics are beautiful and the music is very unique. ATW just never did it for me.
    The oceans made me, but who came up with love?

    Amongst the Waves is too generic adult contemp for me. sounds like watered down PJ with all the edges removed. UK is good live.

    While Unthought Known was an instant favorite with me, its lost some of its steam. I can't get Amongst the Waves out of my head.
