    Running- seems I like this more than most
    Won't Tell

    Dark Matter
    Something Special- yes, I'm a parent

    React Respond- better live IMO
    Wreckage- know it is a good song but don't connect with it

    I’d put Setting Sun, Scared of Fear, Waiting for Stevie, and maybe Wreckage in the top 15 songs post 2000. 
    Parting Ways
    Love Boat Captain
    Life Wasted 
    Come Back
    Inside Job
    Who Ever Said 
    Lightning Bolt
    MYM
    Yellow Moon 
    Gonna see My Friend
    Amongst the Waves 

    This from someone who loves Gigaton. I didn’t think they’d get something like Dark Matter out. Glad they stole my lunch money on that one.

    Upper Hand


    The Top 5 are among the very best songs in the PJ catalogue. The next 5 are very, very good and would make up an amazing 10 song album.

    But Upper Hand kills the flow of the album for me. The intro is interesting, but the transition to the first verse is jarring, and the song dies on its ass for the verse. The chorus is good, but the outro solo sounds like it belongs in another song. It’s like 3 different songs and they don’t work together as one.
