    90% of the songs were replaced by better ones. Hate to be so negative towards this band, but it’s definitely the weakest album they’ve put out in my opinion.

    And yes - Can’t Deny Me should definitely have been included.
    What record are you listening to? This record blows backspacer and Lightning bolt out of the water. This is a great album. To say it’s weak is odd to me IMO. Listen again maybe. 
    I feel the same. Don't like it at all. 
    Duke, that’s not the same

    I don't hate any song but Superblood Wolfmoon is my least favorite. I actually put this on yesterday for the first time in a looooong time (I think pandemic album when I think of this one and that's not good) and listened again today...I like it. It has legs. These songs will be phenomenal live. I don't think "Can't Deny Me" needed to be on here, not sure where it would've worked with the flow. Big fan overall.

    I like the album, a lot; Easily my favorite PJ album of the last 15 years, possibly since Yield. 

    I also agree it would be better if they got to tour and play these songs live.

    Double album.  4 Sides. Add Can’t Deny Me, Get It Back, and Of The Earth. 
    Absolutely!  I think this would make a phenomenal album even better.

    I bought the album day one and have listened to it many many times. I still do! Every time I listen to it I hope it’ll just suddenly click with me and I’ll say, “hey this is a great album”. But I think the time has passed. I just don’t think it’s very good at all. And although Lightning Bolt and Backspacer are no masterpieces - I think they are a much more enjoyable listen.

    Great record, I'd change nothing except add in the song they released last fall.

    I could quibble about the tracking and that possibly side C maybe carries things on too long.  But it's their most cohesive records since Binaural.  And their most interesting sounding one too.

    Glad I am not the only one who feels this way. I tried to listen to the album yesterday but it just gives me vibes of the start of our ongoing pandemic.

    I know that is not a reason to not like an album but for me hearing it puts me in a weird space ( if that makes any sense )

    Honestly its a shame that is how my brain reacts to hearing that album.

    It makes perfect sense.

    There's no right or wrong opinion on this album, it's all subjective. I personally love it, but can completely understand your perspective.

    This is a good question.  I’m guessing it will be played but it makes me wonder.  Are there any studio album songs besides the gimmick songs that haven’t been played at least once?
