    PJ is taking itself too seriously. I'm guessing they listened to the Beatle's White album, dropped some acid and then wrote and performed this song. It is self indulgent and over produced. Go back to the basics boys. That is what got you here. All of the PJ fans falling all over themselves is to be expected. But what do you expect from a bunch of lemmings. Let's hope the rest of the album does not follow suit with the waste of time that is DofC. 
    Aww, someone didn't get tickets :(
    Seems odd to me that people can express how much they like DofC but get scrutinized and ridiculed for not liking it. Personally, I think it's ok, not bad, not great, just an avg song. I'll admit, after this much time off between albums and everything that's happened between then and now, I was expecting something better, my fault I guess. Personally, I think some people on here are just hyped up for something new, just because it's new doesn't mean it has to be awesome but to each their own.

    and you expressed your opinion respectfully. some people are just dicks about it. that's the difference. no one is getting ridiculed for not liking it, they are getting ridiculed for how they express it.

    What songs from Talking Heads and Bowie do people hear or relate to? Would like to check them out.

    I'm hearing Bowie's Ashes To Ashes in the outro vocals.   Specifically the "My mother said, to get things done
    You'd better not mess with Major Tom" part....
    Nice. Cool to play these songs after hearing Dance.

    I would hardly say you not digging it = DOTC being a waste of time! Especially considering how widely liked it has been

    I am sensing a trend here where some are inable to merely just say "the song isn't for me" lol

    There's some PJ songs I don't like. I was seriously on the fence about new material after "Can't Deny Me". For me, DotC is a pleasant surprise and just gets better the more I listen to it. I'm happy they took their time, pushed themselves creatively and am sure Gigaton will be a " plethora of delights, a fruit salad compote of delights" for every type of PJ fan. I respect people's opinions that don't like it, but there have been some trollish comments about it.

    Also my favorite takes are the ones where if someone has a different opinion than you, they must be sheep or lemmings. 
    Right? The people who get irate because other people posting on a rock band's message board like a song by that rock band are truly special.
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get
    for the least they could possibly do

    It is totally expected for a song having such a different style to have its fair share of people who may not like the sound of it

    However for example that poster above calling the song "a waste of time", and basically calling the vast majority of PJ who like it "a bunch of lemmings" before making a second post writing digs at the song again - reveal to me that the person is not really interested in a good faith discussion and sharing different opinions

    I was blown away the first time I saw this. That's when I really became a fan. Really just discovered TH in the last 3 years. Seems there's always good music out there waiting for you to find it, even if it has been 30 years.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    The version of "Slippery People" on that video is worth the price of admission alone. Great stuff

    I haven't really seen that. The people being ridiculed are either being jerks about it or are crusading against it with post after post. If someone posts a thoughtful critique, they're not going to get jumped on.

    Can you understand the strong dislike? Pearl Jam was a bold answer to ALOT of this type of music that polluted FM radio in the 80s.

    If you wanted guitar rock, what was the choice. REM? U2? Fine bands but not really much on the power chord.

    Even metal bands were whimpy in the 80s. Except Metallica. But they really weren’t on the radio in the 80s.

    Ah Bowie just came on the radio. Sounds nothing like DotC. Sarcastic comment deleted.

    This is not the type of music that PJ displaced, unless that's Kip Winger on keys and Sebastian Bach on backing vocals at the end. Nothing wrong with a significant amount of music that came out of the 80's.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    And if your first comment had been "it's ok. Not bad, not great, just average. I was hoping for more", that's fine. Nobody would have said boo to you.
