    Oh, and I Am Mine was so bad that I forgot about it! Writers block in song! Lyrics of a high school band.

    All Night is rad!

    The worst song is ...

    Gone


    wasn't it recorded in a bathroom?
    Life has nothing to do with killing time.
    So why be satisfied?

    Oh yeah, that's a bad one. The music sounds like Creed to me. Most people disagree. Fuck 'em.

    The chorus reminds me of "arms wide open" with the lame chord sequence and strings. It's painful.

    I can see that it's definitely on the cheesier side of things, just never made the Creed connection.

    I dig the tune enough, but yeah, it's not one of their more interesting ones.

    um... why has no one said 'just breathe' yet? the only time i would ever sit through it is if it was at a show or *maybe* on the radio

    and dont hate on sweet lew, its just a goofy b-side!
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    I think Olympic Platinum is hilarious. I doubt that it was intended to be taken seriously.

    I couldn't tell you the last time I listened to 'Cropduster' ... I skip past it when I have the CD in, and I hit next when it comes up on the iPod, would be perfectly happy if I never heard it again

    I am NOT fan of Evacuation, and am happy to see I'm not the only one...the chorus is just...well...crap :|


    Sweet Lew ALWAYS gets played in the car...it's hilarious...I s'pose if you were trying to take the song seriously then it would seem really shit, but we have fun with it...it's actually my sons favourite PJ song :lol:

    I was just thinking the same thing. Come Back is a beautiful song, especially live.

    Worst PJ song is Bushleaguer...that's one of those songs where I instantly press next on my ipod whenever it comes on when I'm listening to a full boot or I have it on shuffle.

    Isn't this what makes music such a subjective, personal, and special thing. I am Mine,Gone, Wishlist, Mankind, Low Light and a number of other songs on this list I love or really enjoy. While not a PJ song, I was very happy not to hear Last Kiss at Newark or MSG1.

    WOW....Evacuation is definitely an incredible song and only gets better live! Binaural, one of the best albums PJ has put out....as for me, I stuggle when I hear Last Kiss, wishlist, and daughter....but as a huge fan I can appreciate everything for what it is!

    songs like sweet lew, foxy mop, bugs..c'mon. they're not really even serious songs.
    i actually like bugs anyways.
    put it on full blast on repeat when you have an exterminator in your house and just stare at them as they work.
    it is AWESOME.

    i've never really liked big wave..isn't it in a movie about a surfing koala or something?
    C'MONNN MANNN

    and evacuation is meh

    The end
    Just Breathe (first 2 should be EV solo releases)
    Last Kiss (even though it's a cover, it still sucks)
    Evacuation
    Sweet Lew
    Gone - live version (only PJ song that sounds better on the album than live)

    Everything else is greatness
