    Hard to tell much from the clip but I fully expect there will be slower songs on this album. It is par for the course for them.

    Tough crowd. 20 seconds playing over a TV bumper is one step up from a cell phone recording outside of a venue but still not nearly enough for me to have an opinion.

    Gave half a listen to the backdoor video a few weeks back and treated this the same way. Need to hear the real thing. Can't tell anything from a snippet.

    I don't mind it except for the "woah" part.  Sounds forced.

    If you are looking for music to wow you, I wouldn't be looking towards a band that has been around for 30+ years.
    My expectations nowadays is 2-3 good songs an album. 
    They definitely have more than that per album
    Gigaton had about 3 good songs. Backspacer and Lightning Bolt had about 4-5.
    I like all the songs. Some more than others. But definitely more than what you're liking

    Gigaton had about 3 good songs. Backspacer and Lightning Bolt had about 4-5.
    LB probably has the least songs I dislike or would skip, but none of them stand out to me as ones I look forward to either. All pretty much middle that I am indifferent to.
    The others have at least 2 or 3 that I look forward to when they come on PJ radio or are played live, but might have more I would skip if I was listening to on the album.
    As a result, most of the post Avocado albums I rarely listen to anymore.

    LB has a bunch of good songs but it’s not a great album, it feels like a mishmash of random sessions.
    BS has fewer great standalone songs but it’s a better album because it has its own cohesive identity which is unique in the catalog.
    Gigaton is ambitious & experimental but they didn’t stick the landings on all the experiments. It’s also (for me at least) colored more by the events of the time of its release than the others which makes it hard to give a fair rating to.
    i think all three are still good, but the preceding 8 were all great.

    Sounds like a Stone song. Guy is a legend, but I can't remember the last time he's written a good PJ song. Probably Binaural 
    Co-written by Josh according to the Spin article.

    I could hardly make anything of it since it was barely audible. Based on the reaction in this tread, it doesn’t seem to mesh with Matt Pinfields take unless his gears get turned by songs that aren’t very heavy.

    regardless of early reviews of heaviness, we knew there would be a song or 2 like this.......could turn out to be decent, i too commented that per preview it was meh, but the shock in some....come on, like a bunch of Katie Britts

    Around the same time, Delta's slogan was "We Get You There." I always appreciated the honesty of that slogan. Great service? Good food? Nicely appointed planes? Nope, don't expect any of that. We're not promising anything except that we'll get you wherever it is you need to go.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    I went back and listened to it again after the track list was available. I thought the first half of the album sounded relatively heavy, and the second half less so.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    These songs sound like a continuation of Earthling.  Especially this one.  
    When I listened to it, I thought the same thing, at least Something Special. 
    Yup, same.

    Some strong conclusions being drawn based on a 10 second clip.....

    if only the band cared what a small fragment of the fanbase thought!
