    Oh yeah....I forgot all about that. Sorry yosi.

    For me, Green Disease is so deliciously retro-punk sounding, that I just eat it up. That intro, when Jeff's bass hits, and then the way it just builds up to the crashing start of the verse....I think it's cool as hell and makes it one of PJ's more unique songs. Matt's simple-yet-effective drumming just drives this song the way any good punk drummer does. Jeff's bass just sounds like he pulled it out of an 80s music video.

    And lyrically, I think it's excellent here as well. I appreciate what Ed's trying to say here and the way he goes about it. It has vivid imagery and a focused point. I just think it's a solid song and is probably definitely my favorite song on Riot Act.

    Cool. It's definitely a great song. I've recently noticed that there is some quieter guitar going on that I hadn't heard before. It's during the verse and the part leading up to the chorus. I don't know why, its nothing big, but it just gave the song a whole new level of depth for some reason.

    Riot Act is and will probably always be my most favorite PJ album, just the way it is. To me it´s got a very distinct flow, and I love and can relate to the songs and the atmosphere. It´s deep, it´s got beautiful lyrics, and an aura of timelessness. Very very close to my heart... all in all.

    I´ll have "Can´t keep" played at my funeral, says it all.

    record on player now...
    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......
