The one thing I do not get from the small minority that dislike the album is the fact they are happy when others agree with them. Comments like "I am glad I am not the only one" and "thank you" when someone else replies with a similar opinion. I was not a huge fan of Backspacer when it came out or now for that matter. There is no way however that I would be happy or show joy that someone else did not like it either. I would hope that everyone else loved it and I was the odd duck. I guess it is really strange to me seeing people showing a positive reaction to a negative thought towards a band I assume we all love or loved at one point or another. 

An above poster summed it up well. It is unfortunate for those that do not like the album and a plus for us that are blown away by it or are liking it. I would rather be on the blown away side any day of the week over the other side. 

If you derive absolutely no pleasure from finding like-minded people, I’m not sure what you get out this place.

You take pleasure in people not enjoying the new album? 

If thinking Skyfall is way overrated. I don't see how people would find it off one would find (quantum of) solace in other sharing that experience.

How could that be surprising. 

Great for people loving Skyfall. But if people fucking shared my view (to a KIll) the franchise would have gone in a better direction.

I actually liked Skyfall! 

I get your point though that if the majority like something that you do not like maybe that piece of entertainment, what ever it maybe, goes in that direction and leaves you in the dust. I was not a fan of CDM and wonder if the reception it got live and from social media actually played a role in leaving it off of the album or they just decided to go in another direction.

I still stick to my claim however that I would find no joy in another fan not enjoying an album from this band especially with in a week of release.

Honestly, I feel like Buckle Up is a throwaway song and belongs on a kids album but I’m not posting my opinion as gospel on every single damn thread.  This dude is posting things like “the band feels this isn’t their best work and they aren’t happy with the album”.  If you can’t  recognize this self absorbed bullshit he spun as fact then you may be the real sheep my friend.

If this is directed at me, I agree with you on both counts, that buckle up isn’t  my fav, and a lot of that guy’s posts made me raise an eyebrow. I just don’t see the need to aggressively attack them for it.  I do enjoy the aggression though, we all need some laughs these days

I can agree with that!

It’s pretty good - a couple of wet farts in the middle and Eddies moping indulgent triple header at the end are grating already but you know there are some kick ass rockers in there.

Lol. Funny thing about Buckle Up is while I don’t love the song or the lyrics, I like Eddie’s voice on it. Reminds me of Bee Girl the way he is singing on it.

Lets just agree over a nice glass of vegan wine, that Quantum of Solace is underrated out of the Craig movie. Tight. A classic bond-plot with a decent bond villain. I don’t remember any boring Ethan Hunt/Jason Bourne having to go rouge yet again BS plot thing that took up time. 

Yes it is sad Amy Winehouse couldnt do the theme and that they rejected Shirley Basseys song - but come on now. And yeah. the camera shakes. deal with it like a grownup people.

Your buddy jumped ship for U2?  That's like throwing a drowning man an anchor.

CROJAM95

The band doesn’t give a shit  if you like it, hate it, balance your furniture with it

The fact that some are stating they haven’t liked a record since yield but still pay to post here?

I have only listened to it twice since I opened it.  Just can’t get myself to give it another whirl for a while.  Once I get the cd I’ll listen in the car and I’m sure it’ll grow more on me, but I’m not really blown away by it yet.  

Ed feels too far in front and there’s just too much of him to me.  Too many words or something, but maybe it’s because I listened while I read every word in the book and damn he just went fucking word crazy. 

 I love the unique compositions and the music itself but something about it feels like an Ed controlled project to me, and I’ve been hoping for more of everyone else.  I just see Ed’s name in there too often perhaps, and I’ll always think of pj as a band, not Ed backed up by a band.  I can feel Ed manipulating everyone else- except for Jeff- the whole time.

anyway there’s a lot of weird shit in this one and it’s going to take me a lot more listens.  I’ll come around, but OP I totally get what you’re saying, you’re absolutely entitled to speak your mind on here, don’t let them get you down.

Ed’s songs I usually like the least. Where the hell is Stone? That guy is a fantastic song writer. 

Stone's contribution, Buckle Up. FFS. worst song ever
