    Why are people debating "reviews".

    You do now that Blade Runner got some really bad reviews back in 1982... right?
    Because how else are you supposed to decide whether you like something?
    You copy whatever the cute girl in class thinks.

    AND THAT IS HOW I ENDED UP LISTENING TO LINKIN PARK THAT DREADFUL YEAR OF 2001.
    But did it get you anywhere with the cute girl?
    You bet. Even went with me to the London 2007 show.

    But then I fucked it all up.

    And now I am not listening to Linkin Park anymore.
    ... until the next cute girl.

    It's ok to dislike it because to each their own, but this is absolutely not an Ed solo album.
    +1....I think Ed's vocals are actually lacking a bit on this.
    I think we are seeing the effects  of smoking the past 3 albums.  I know  he smoked before those, but it seems to finally be catching up to him along with age and playing over1000 shows in his career.  Not saying he is bad, just a different range and tone

    Yeah Vedpunk what are you 40 going on 13? Your Handle says it all, a fanatic that can’t stand differing opinions from a long term fan since the beginning. 

    I love their live shows and have many good memories attending shows, and being at the right place to get to meet band members including your beloved Eddie Vedder. However, I am grown up and have a different view than you on one album - does this justify your attacks?

    Btw If it makes you happy to think I live in a  basement I hope it makes your day - try using your imagination in a positive way so you can be successful in real life. Taking your Virtual personality the real world will not help you be successful. How you change.

    im out of here, hope you all stay safe.
    I welcome negative reviews and honest debate but there’s a big difference between voicing your opinion vs being a self absorbed, know-it-all troll with a personal agenda.  You sound like 13 year old teenager just going through puberty.

    The one thing I do not get from the small minority that dislike the album is the fact they are happy when others agree with them. Comments like "I am glad I am not the only one" and "thank you" when someone else replies with a similar opinion. I was not a huge fan of Backspacer when it came out or now for that matter. There is no way however that I would be happy or show joy that someone else did not like it either. I would hope that everyone else loved it and I was the odd duck. I guess it is really strange to me seeing people showing a positive reaction to a negative thought towards a band I assume we all love or loved at one point or another. 

    An above poster summed it up well. It is unfortunate for those that do not like the album and a plus for us that are blown away by it or are liking it. I would rather be on the blown away side any day of the week over the other side. 
    If you derive absolutely no pleasure from finding like-minded people, I’m not sure what you get out this place.

    I think I went thru this with their last two albums. They will never be what they were early on and just enjoy what they put out Going forward.

    Not what he said, how he said it.  He’s stating opinions like facts and making it sound like he is some higher power and knows better since he plays an instrument.  It’s like me saying - This is Mike McCready’s finest work yet because I own a guitar and pick it up every now and then.  Also, love how he’s making assumptions on how the band feels about the new record. That shit is just silly but amazing troll work.

    When you say, “stating opinion as fact”, what exactly do you mean?

    Can you give me an example?

    It’s just hilarious that you couldn’t let it go- you could have just laughed to yourself and disagreed.  Instead you got so triggered that you had to attack the dude personally, lol, that’s just awesome to me.  It’s what makes the internet the internet, you gotta love it, it’s great stuff to read to get away from all the shit out there nowadays

    That was the other guy doing it. Saying the band knows it isn’t good and knowing all about the process or whatever

    Agree with you it’s too bad they keep doing this (last 3 albums so disappointing) I have an old friend since high school that loved PJ as much as I did, beck we even played PJ cover songs in a band and had lots of fun doing that. After Backspacer and  bolt he said he was done with PJ and went to U2 instead. He spent 400 bucks on U2 Gen Admin tix right after I know he would have spent that to see PJ but the lackluster albums did it for him - I’m not there yet but getting real close.
     :D:D  Crying here. Is this serious post?

    If thinking Skyfall is way overrated. I don't see how people could find it off one would find (quantum of) solace in other sharing that experience.

    How could that be surprising. 

    Great for people loving Skyfall. But if people fucking shared my view (to a Kill), the franchise would have gone in a better direction.

    How many music magazines have you ripped to shreds because reviewers didn't start every paragraph with "In my opinion..."

    How many KISS shows have you left because they didn't start with:

    YOU WANTED THE BEST
    YOU GOT, IN OUR OPINION, THE BEST
    IN OUR OPINION, THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD

    . . . it’s too bad they keep doing this . . . 
    Keep doing what? Writing the songs that they feel like writing and recording them the way they want?  I'm sorry that disappoints you. I hope you keep listening.

    I love this album. It's exactly what I hoped to hear from them. The lyrics are incredibly poetic and the songs contain many layers that make me pay attention and listen. I agree that the second half of the album has a different tone than the first, but the transition from beginning to end works for me. I don't know that I would call it an Ed solo album. The other guys in the band seemed like they were playing along well enough to me.

    Honestly, I feel like Buckle Up is a throwaway song and belongs on a kids album but I’m not posting my opinion as gospel on every single damn thread.  This dude is posting things like “the band feels this isn’t their best work and they aren’t happy with the album”.  If you can’t  recognize this self absorbed bullshit he spun as fact then you may be the real sheep my friend.

    You thought skyfall was overrated?  By far the best of the Daniel Craig era.  (I liked quantum)
