    I still listen to it quite often. I quite like the record. Sits somewhere in the ‘middle’ of their catalogue for me.

    Love Sirens, Pendulum, and My Fathers Son (the three “risks”) The rest are mostly okay. 

    Would love a new album

    Love the 1-2-3 punch of Getaway, Mind Your Manners, and My Father's Son (that bass riff!!)

    I think it's great up to and including Pendulum. After that, Yellow Moon is decent but I don' care for the rest. Let the records play, sleeping by myself and future days are awful.

    I think Mikey's playing a bass on that one too. Double bass.

    I like it.  Some great tracks.  Love Getaway into MYM.  Pendulum is one of my favorites for sure.  Love the Pink Floyd feel of Yellow Moon too.  There are a few songs that aren't that great for me but overall it still holds up as a pretty solid record for me.  Cant wait to see what comes next!  Hopefully a new record is in the works for 2018!
  • mcgruff10mcgruff10 Posts: 28,400
    Very few of these songs will be played live moving forward. I can see lighting bolt, sirens, mym and occasionally pendulum being played but that s about it. 
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    The first 7 tracks make it a solid album, but from then on it really fades for me. I do like Yellow Moon, and Records Play is OK, but I have always been totally against the inclusion of Sleeping By Myself. And Future Days just bores me. Better than Backspacer, but I can't give it much more than that.

  • I don't think mike is playing bass on any tune. Jeff is the sheriff.
    The heart beat of pearl jam. Some of his bass lines on rndm stuff are wonderful as well.

    Great album but overproduced to me, sounds like they may have had an auto tune sitting in the studio somewhere- whether or not Ed used it is up for debate. I long for some rawness again.  Love pendulum, my fathers son, getaway. Never really enjoyed mym, sirens is just well, sirens... 

    give us us a raw as shit album.  Like sandpaper on your dong raw, please.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    Great to see some love for MFS. Always considered that to be an underrated song by many.

    MYM and LB should be the only songs played live going forward. Because my opinion matters.

    Sirens = concert/vibe killer

    Solid album. My favorites are My Father's Son, Lightning Bolt & Sirens. Most others are solid/good. My least favorite is Mind Your Manners. Never understood how that one became such a staple.

    The song feels forced. So I agree with you. I listen to the album a good bit, especially Pendulum, LB, Yellow Moon and Infallible.
