    Lol that doesn't sound like Given to Fly at all. It's a little too early in the morning for you guys to be on acid. Anyway, I'll be interested to delve into the lyrics. I hear some interesting stuff going on there at first listen.
    No...it sounds like learning to fly by Tom Petty. Only its not very good.

    Also, it's never too early for acid.

    Agree with the Petty vibes, really digging this and think it'll be great live.

    Think I'll wait one more day and listen to it with the album as a whole.

    This albums 7 o clock. Beautiful music with Word Salad on top. 

    The music is fantastic but the lyrics / vocals are the weak link here.  Nothing catchy that you can sing, no angst, no passion.  Just kind of there. Probably would be better as an instrumental. 

    Can't really see this one being great live. Like 7 o clock it will just exist.
    I thought 7 o clock was a pretty good song. This song would probably be better off not existing at all. I might have to make my own edit of this album and erase some songs. I'll replace this one with 'get it back' which is actually better than a lot of their album tracks from the past 20 years.

    Me too. Not a fan of so many singles. Hate this format. 1 single then drop the album 3 weeks later. Kings of Leon doing the same thing. They’ll have 3 singles possibly more before the album drops.

    I hate it too and wish this wasn't how I was being exposed to the album. Piece by piece. But I don't have enough self control to wait.

    I went to the theatrical experience last night, wreckage was one of my favorites although hard to choose as I liked basically all of the songs to a similar degree.

    I agree with lifted in the sense that this album, to me, is NOT heavy at all really other than maybe running and dark matter singles..so i was also wondering what the hell they were talking about it with it being heavy lol.

    As far as lightning bolt and sirens i loved that song and the album was pretty decent as a whole, not top 5 for sure, but good. I find myself still loving their Ten and Vs stuff the most, but I also love their new stuff too even though it does sound different, i mean eddie is a 60 year old smoker who doesn't maybe take the absolute best care of his vocals and he still is better than basically any other rockers in his age range to me anyway. 


    I think a lot of people take "heavy" especially in connection with the first two singles as way too literal. Music can be heavy without having a punk rock tempo and shredding power chords or Eruption like guitar play. There is emotional heavy like a lot of Bob Dylan was for example (All Along the Watchtower or Shelter from the storm) and even those songs can be played "heavy". 
    And Wreckage, while no punk rock or doom metal song is definitely played heavy, unlike Sirens for example.

    Get it Back is a good song. After 4 years of Gigaton, I dont find myself playing 7 o'clock that much.  Its fine.  Too long, imo.  
    I didnt like Retrograde at all until I heard it live. 
    River Cross is a good song, but it's just so....dour?...sounding.  Dont listen to that too much.  

    I like Wreckage over any of these though.

    Oh don’t worry, there are some super shreddy, heavy guitar solos from Mr McCready, dare I say, that rival the end of Alive.

    Definitely a Tom Petty influenced song. It's beautiful though. I love it.

    Lovely song, but I really really hate the drum sound. Other than that, seems classic PJ to me.

    Seven o'clock is a really good song. I love the lyrics and the meaning too....only issue is it lasts about a minute or two too long.

    This is pretty good too, but I got Petty vibes, not Seven O'clock vibes...

    I hear a combo of the beginning of Retrograde layered into 7 O'Clock musically.  Good song, I like the layering in the voice.
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    That same terrible snare sound that was on earthlings. Awful.

    Uh oh.  This isn't what I was expecting.

    I'm going to listen to Leash now to cleanse my ears and restore balance.

    I like 7 o clock studio.  Hate it live.  I guess that's the comparison I went for - there are almost no PJ songs that are better studio then live.  This gives me that vibe that i can listen to it as part of an album but it will dud hard live because it's another emotionless word salad.

    I will stand on the hill all alone that it would have been a kick ass instrumental
