So excited to hear new PJ!!!!!  Can't Deny Me is great.  I hope the album has this raw emotion and feel to it.  Plus hopefully some different experimental stuff.  

It really has grown on me every time I've listened to it, and it should be even better live.

Agree completely! I had visions of them opening with it tonight.  Love the drum/riff combo to kick off the song and got excited just thinking about hearing Ed come in on that bad boy at a live show! .

If your response to an album announcement is to get upset about the annual single then you might be doing it wrong.

Anyone else think that this is probably a clip of another song on the album, that Matt posted a couple weeks ago?

that sounds awesome.

I loved this riff when I heard it on his instagram page and if this is for a new PJ song I will lose it! Good good stuff!!!!

What if they do release this as a physical single for 2017....to Ten Club members with something killer on the b-side....we get the vinyl we crave and something that won't be sold publically....except on ebay by the people who "hate" the song after the first listen...

This could be a win-win....2017 single on vinyl and a new album....i will take it...

There is no b-side because the b-side isn't ready yet. They did the same thing a few years ago with Eddie's cover of Imagine.

This has to mean a full tour to support the new album right? End of the year or early next year? I sense some really good news and new rumors are going to start leaking. 

I like the way you think.

I believe this is correct

Hoping a full band version of Out of Sand will be on this. Love that song.

Can't Deny Me was pretty decent, but I think a strange choice for the first single. Hoping for something a little better for the next single they release. Can't Deny Me would've been good for a later track, but kinda falls short as a single imo. Fingers crossed though, excited to hear the rest of the album.

Oh, did they? I don't seem to remember that. Ok then, I trust we'll get something then.

Last time they went to South America for Lollapalooza they released an album later that year.

Wouldn't most people agree that the "single" carries a fraction of the weight that it once did? Most bands just trickle out songs leading up to the album release and some are better, some are worse than the remaining ones on the album (all subjective anyway!). Some artists just drop the whole thing at once with no lead up. Plus, FM radio/MTV as we knew them in the nineties are long gone, and with streaming services nobody is picking and choosing which songs to buy at $1 a pop anymore either. Worrying about singles in this day and age seems like a fool's errand to me. Looking forward to any and all songs that get released, and then hearing the whole thing as intended (hopefully on a Ten Club exclusive colored vinyl) when the album drops!

I agree as well...  I did not like it at first listen....  the chorus seemed to "pop-esque" for me.  But I really like it now...  I'm also the dude who hated Light Years first time he heard it so.............

Can't wait for the new album, 3 months from now will be just when the Europe dates hit. Maybe. Would be awesome.

Honestly, kind of think it's the opposite. I don't think the majority of consumers listen to full albums anymore (and I'm not if they ever really did). I think people DO pick and choose what to listen to (just without paying for each individual song), and that releasing songs a few at a time is probably a better way to get more people to listen to more of your music than waiting until you have 12-13 songs finished and dropping them all at once. Release a full album later for the small percentage of your base that still holds to that antiquated practice (of which, yes, I am one).
