    i kind of remember the band (or maybe just Eddie) being stoked about the song "Gone" back in the day.   me, not so much.  probably worst song on Avocado.

    This whole board was creaming after Ed debuted the song live at a PJ show. The arrangement on the album is just modern BOB/Ed nonsense. It starts slow, tries to be anthemic, while relying on cheap and cliche lyrics.

    Especially when it's performed in May (Toronto 2016) or August (Seattle 2018)!

    You don't fool me. You're ALWAYS on my side. And you love Sirens as well. You study your wife's face. ;)

    Dirty Frank is an example of why I loved the band so much.  This was the band when it loved being a band and playing music.  Even a throaway type of song like this has great funny lyrics that to me make it special.

    I think the most recent songs problem is over produced
    take Speed of Sound for example
    the demo sounds so much better
    PJ 2014: Leeds, Milton Keynes
    PJ 2018: London 1, Padova, Roma, Prague, Krakow, Berlin, Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon, London 2
    EV 2017: Amsterdam 2&3, London 1&2

    see i really like SoS.  I know i'm in the minority here.  but, i thought it was something a bit different from Eddie.  has the down, up, down, up kind of thing going and it works.

    they did in Canada in 2011. It was actually pretty good. I would imagine it went over like gangbusters in SA.

    I honestly don't get the hate for Ole'.  Sure, it's not their greatest song ever but it's not that bad.

    Anyway, I'm a bigger fan than any of you folks (*sarcasm, in case you have the Sheldon Cooper problem)..
    Really, the only thing this band did that I truly don't like is Sirens (even the song title is bad, man).. All the rest varies from acceptable (just a couple of songs maybe) to good to really good to amazing/masterpiece. I think it's because I put things in perspective, Olé was a free thing just before the SA tour in 2011, Sweet Lew is where it belongs in a compilation of outtakes and stuff.. I appreciate 'em for what they are. Try to listen to the bass lines in Sweet Lew (especially the chorus), they're.. Well, sweet.

    Yeah, I really don't get that.

    The one and only thing that makes Sweet Lew bad is Jeff's vocals, lol. But they make it REALLY bad, and not even in a funny way. ;) I personally would really enjoy the fun of them using a basketball as an instrument, if only the vocals didn't make me cringe, haha.
    But anyway, I just figure a bad song is a bad song. Whether it's on a studio album or on Lost Dogs or performed live only or is just on a holiday single, it makes no difference to me when considering whether or not I like it. But sure, the "importance" of the sentiment is affected by that factor.
