    Yeah, I'd say if anyone is pushing any kind of punk rock thing, it's Mike. He wrote Can't Deny Me and Mind Your Manners.

    I love how all there albums have a unique sound and not all are like “ten” or oooh another Yield”. I would have moved on if this groups albums all sounded like ten.  
    I don't get this comment (people say this kind of thing a lot). Who in the hell actually things all their albums should sound like Ten? (I certainly don't, since albums 4 - 8 are their best ones, lol ;) ). Just because some people don't like what they're doing now, it doesn't mean they want them to make albums that sound like albums they already did. I just want their new albums to be totally new... and totally good.

    Where is the punk rock sound in this song? I keep seeing this mentioned but I'm not hearing it. Sounds just like another mellow PJ rock song, which is fine, not complaining. What am I missing? Where is the punk rock sound? I love music and I listen to every variety of it, I just can't find where the punk rock comparison comes from....

    It’s a way to justify Ed sounding rough.

    Intentionally so... 

    He’s making the artistic decision to “sound like he’s shitting razor blades” in CDM.  He clearly could have taken a completely diff approach if he wanted to. 

    There are only a handful of singers on the planet that can vocally contort, glottal-slam, and outright exert bloodcurdling screams like EV and still actually sing or belt out lyrical singing.  Enjoy the trip while it last...

    It doesn’t bother me. I guess I just like the passion of the song. Certainly not a PJ classic for me or anything but I truly have been enjoying the hell out of listening to it. I’m excited to hear some more new material for sure.

    And live I really like how it sounds. The debut was rough but the 2nd and 3rd time they played it look kick ass even on shitty phone recordings.

    Well I don't like the song... BUT it doesn't convince me that I necessarily won't like the new album overall.... Despite my issues with Can't Deny Me vocally and lyrically and musically, I still have hope. The song still has something somewhat indefinable to me that suggests the album has some potential. Sucks to have to wait to find out!

    Tell us your definition of punk. Perhaps that is where the disconnect is. Punk started in garages. A stripped down response to overproduction and over-instrumentation. I think the punk comparison is that this is a pretty stripped down, raw song. Some people thought it must be a demo, or rough outtake. So there are certainly punk elements in terms of style. But if your definition of punk is different, and has other or additional requirements, then it may not be punk in the way you define it.

    it doesn't sound like punk in the same vein as the sex pistols or even early indie green day. but it does sound like it to me in the simple fact that it's quickly in, quickly out, low(er) production polish, as jeff said, no solo, and the lyrics.
