    Best new PJ music of 2020, aside from "Dance..." = cover of Hunted Down.

    Good to hear Stone on a studio recording again.
    The album hasn't grown on you at all, huh?
    Haha, alright, let's do this: It has. A few things - 1) I am comfortable saying the first 8 tracks are good, ok, or at least growing on me (Dance... and Quick Escape are up there as greats to me). Should've only kept one of the last 3 songs - probably River Cross, ultimately works well at the end of an album, kinda like Arc to me; 2) I realize a big part of this is me, my expectations. They're just done from a creativity standpoint it seems to me, plus I'm expecting something in the vein of an album similar to something between the span of No Code and Riot Act (my personal favorite overall era). Plus, they're old, they've got kids, it's hard to punch up when you're multimillionaires, I get it. 3) I ultimately would say this isn't really an experimental album, nothing really pushing them other than for one song. When a lot of the tracks titles & sound blend together that's saying something. Now, if Gigaton came out before Backspacer, or Lightning Bolt, I'd be much more jazzed about this album, if that makes any sense.

    It's all good though - we're all fucking older, they're the band I'll see and have a great time regardless.

    If I'm ranking again it goes like this, and purely my own personal opinion:
    1) Yield
    2) No Code
    3) Binaural
    4) Vs. 
    5) Ten
    6) Riot Act
    7) Vitalogy
    8) Avocado
    9) Gigaton
    10) Backspacer
    11) Lightning Bolt

    End of rant (readjusts pocket protector).

    posted this in the how you feeling now thread but will also post it here cause why not

    Woke up this morning, laid in bed for awhile. Decided to get up and out to feed my cat and giver her her insulin. Took a few steps then started to black out. Grabbed onto a a door frame,my left foot gave way and i fell flat on my face onto the carpeted floor. Laid there for a few seconds then i realized my nose was bleed profusely. Gathered my senses and went to the bathroom to stop the bleeding and tried to clean my carpet. Nice rug burn on my face if that's possible.

    Just weird, never had that happen. Physically fine but mentally wasn't there for awhile. Headache? Vertigo? Stress from co-vid 19? don't know.

    Also posted this on facebook. some people suggested it could be low blood sugar.

    That's rough, man - I'm assuming the bleeding is from smashing your face? If so, probably not urgent to get to the doctor but otherwise probably should see about stitches or something. I don't want to say what it may be because I'm a) not a doctor and b) don't want to put you down a rabbit hole of Google MD. Do you have the ability of doing a telehealth call with a doctor or something similar? If we're relatively young, and healthy, then we should avoid hospitals at all costs, but if you can get on the phone with a doctor you should probably do that.

    Take care of yourself.

    woah that sounds rough. hope you are doing better.  just make sure you keep aware of how you are feeling. if you feel 'off' contact a doctor. these days who knows what it could be.

    ok so after a few weeks here are my song list by favs to least fav for Gigaton.  I think this album is a lot like Avocado.  Lots of things that sound good at the moment but not sure what the long term staying power of the songs will be.
    1 - Quick Escape
    2 - Never Destination
    3 - Take the Long Way (don't see a lot of love for this song but i really dig it)
    4 - Dance of the Clairvoyants
    5 - 7 O'Clock (this one grows on me each time i hear it, could be moving up)
    6 - Comes then Goes (another one that seems to grow on me as i hear it more)
    7 - Superblood Wolfmoon
    8 - Retrograde
    9 - River Cross
    10 - Who Ever Said (seems pretty bland to me even for an uptempo rocker)
    11 -  Alright 
    12 - Buckle Up (something about this song i really don't like. one of my least favorite PJ songs on any album right now)

    your first 2 and last 2 are pretty much like mine. Everywhere in between is mixed though.

    Nice little thunderstorm happening now :smile:

    I think the fact that most people don't like or even hate Buckle up.....makes me enjoy it that much more. It's so fucking weird and the messed up lyrics don't match the upbeat music what so ever.....I don't know. I find it endearing!

    Plus, I don't care what they say, that's a god damned trombone being played in that one part.

    one thing i do enjoy about this album is the different sounds on it.  different than what they usually do. probably why i don't really like who ever said, that is so supersonic-ish

    Hmmm...supersonic, really? It is a faster song, yeah....but whoever said just sounds more raw to me. Supersonic has that shiny sheen to it that I don't feel with this one. I did not get any Backspacer vibes from this album, thankfully.  

    Damn it. Now I need to quickly find a way to get that damn song out of my head.

    David, I hope you keep a close eye and as suggested book a telehealth deal with your GP

    Album is still the same to me....first 2/3 I can pretty much dig.  1st four songs are a set above the second.
    The last 4?
    Meh.

    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Just that’s it’s blah to me like  supersonic. Both songs to me are like ok we need a faster rocker someone go take 10 minutes to write a quick one and we will record it.  

    Of course you admit to liking buckle up so gotta question your taste anyway 😜

    Giroux was about the 5th best player on the Flyers this year so seeing him on the list and ahead of Couturier is because of his career. my list

    1 - Carson Wentz
    2 - Bryce Harper
    3 - Ben Simmons
    4 - Joel Embiid (hurt too much and a clown - more talented than Simmons but if I had to choose 1 i'd take Simmons...now come at me)
    5 - JT Realmuto
    6 - Sean Couturier
    7 - Zach Ertz
    8  - Fletcher Cox
    9 - Travis Konecny
    10 - Jason Kelce

    top honorable mentions: Aaron Nola, Carter Hart, Lane Johnson, Ivan Provorov, Brandon Brooks.

    not sure how that guy has Voracek  and Hayes ahead of Hart or Provorov

    Sounds about right. Don't know much about the Flyers guys, but I'd have Ertz and Nola a little higher.

    yeah i agree. Also i was pretty shocked that JT Realmuto was that high. I would have had Ertz and Nola ahead of him at least.

    He might be the best catcher in the game though, albeit underrated...
