    The more I hear the song, the less it sounds “dancey”, cold or computerised & the more it sounds like a cool, funky, post-punk rock song. Think the Mach II vid helped even more with that today. 
    I would agree with you.  Sounds like Ed is just belting it out like he would have over a traditional rock track in some parts of the song.

    Funny -- I just watched it with the new video and it somehow seemed made me think of some Yo La Tengo songs with a more rock vibe and some parts sung by a hardcore punk singer.

    That is so lovely. Man I needed to know this heading into the weekend. I am a bit racy too, but think of the kids. PJ moms and dads really do not need to explain how music makes your willy grow. You may want to put some cold cotton on your crown. You need a filter or a wife. We can just nod in agreement. No need to shake hands. I would say I am pulling your chain, but that will not work in this instance. 
    Be different & make a difference. Decency & kindness @ a grassroots level works.

    This evening I was in a little country bar in small town America. The bar had an electronic jukebox so I went up to see if PJ was in their catalogue. In fact, it had 264 PJ songs (or so they said - I didn't count them all). I put $5 in and got 6 songs for the room, which was mostly older folks, so I sadly skipped past Leash. In the end I selected Release, Footsteps, Down, Smile, Garden...... and Dance of the Clairvoyants. It was already available! Nice to hear them all in a bar, even if I had to pay for the pleasure ;).

    Ditto! Am now afraid of overplaying it before the album release. We all know that can happen.

    I think all the commentary about this song being so different and new is crazy...there are at least half a dozen songs that precede Dance directly.
    Obviously You Are is the closest relative, but there are shades of Army Reserve, Green Disease, Of the Girl, Sleight of Hand, and the chorus is reminiscent of practically every Pearl Jam song.
    The first twenty seconds are a little unique, but as soon as Eddie comes in, it's on, and when Mike comes in this song could be on Riot Act, Binaural, or Untitled without standing out at all.

    It's great.

    I want them to rip into You Are right after listening to this one. It’s killer

    Signed up for a free trial to tidal and listened to the HD master.  There’s a lot of cool percussive stuff back there in the mix and the end especially is very cool. It’s vibe is representative of some PJs more recent influences as well as some older ones.  Spoon vibes in the guitar, the synth and drums wouldn’t sound out of place on a My Morning Jacket track.  It’s rich and layered and I love it!

    also: Im glad Stone got to do something that stands out on bass on account of his funkiness.
