So excited to hear new PJ!!!!!  Can't Deny Me is great.  I hope the album has this raw emotion and feel to it.  Plus hopefully some different experimental stuff.  

It really has grown on me every time I've listened to it, and it should be even better live.

Agree completely! I had visions of them opening with it tonight.  Love the drum/riff combo to kick off the song and got excited just thinking about hearing Ed come in on that bad boy at a live show! .

Anyone else think that this is probably a clip of another song on the album, that Matt posted a couple weeks ago?

that sounds awesome.

I loved this riff when I heard it on his instagram page and if this is for a new PJ song I will lose it! Good good stuff!!!!

What if they do release this as a physical single for 2017....to Ten Club members with something killer on the b-side....we get the vinyl we crave and something that won't be sold publically....except on ebay by the people who "hate" the song after the first listen...

This could be a win-win....2017 single on vinyl and a new album....i will take it...

This IS what they are doing.

Right on Vedd Hedd....thanks for the confirmation....what do you think will be on the b-side?

I have no idea, haha.  I'm sure at this point it wont be good enough, though.

I hope so, but there is no b-side in the download.

There is no b-side because the b-side isn't ready yet. They did the same thing a few years ago with Eddie's cover of Imagine.

I believe this is correct

Oh, did they? I don't seem to remember that. Ok then, I trust we'll get something then.

Wouldn't most people agree that the "single" carries a fraction of the weight that it once did? Most bands just trickle out songs leading up to the album release and some are better, some are worse than the remaining ones on the album (all subjective anyway!). Some artists just drop the whole thing at once with no lead up. Plus, FM radio/MTV as we knew them in the nineties are long gone, and with streaming services nobody is picking and choosing which songs to buy at $1 a pop anymore either. Worrying about singles in this day and age seems like a fool's errand to me. Looking forward to any and all songs that get released, and then hearing the whole thing as intended (hopefully on a Ten Club exclusive colored vinyl) when the album drops!

Can't wait for the new album, 3 months from now will be just when the Europe dates hit. Maybe. Would be awesome.
