    I like gigaton. I found this wishy washy nothingy kind of ed songs . Not for me. First song is great. The 2 released are great. Stevie is good apart from that one sounded like Floyd. And several are petty esk.

    @lastexitlondon if u could compare it to other albums what would be the best comparision? Or a mix of 2 albums perhaps?

    I don't think I could compare to any

    That's how I feel about the last 3 albums.

    Free tote bag and poster at Resident Records in Brighton - bags ran out quickly and only a few posters left. Very low key event as shop was still open and no checking of free tickets that were pre-bought.

    I only heard it 1.5 times through but here's my take (entirely subjective of course, everyone will hear different things and have different reactions!):

    - First two songs are very strong rockers, especially enjoyed the riff of the first one
    - Some snippets of sounds, song structures & even chord/note sequences reminded me of other songs (Garden, Corduroy and Not For You in particular)
    - Some interesting soundscapes and I think a short ambient piece after 'Running'
    - As has been said by others, Mike and Matt in particular shine on this LP
    - Last track starts with a recognisable PJ album closer ambience/feel
    - Some gnarly bass sounds on it.
    - Didn't pay as much attention to Waiting for Stevie as was planning to but really liked what I heard of it, I think I remember this one having a very 'rock and roll' ending? (Much like when they play live and end songs)
    - There wasn't any track that I particularly didn't like but need to hear it properly to listen to the lyrics etc

    The specific “Garden, Corduroy and Not For You” reference gave me a warm fuzzy feeling.
    everything you wrote only adds to my already sky high excitement.

    I must stress though, when I say snippets I mean just that....some a couple of seconds long, some maybe a bit longer.

    Chatting to my PJ obsessive pal after the event I suggested that it sounds as if Andrew Watt tried to make PJ think about elements of what past approaches to song structure/sound had worked so well and made particular songs fan favourites and then has combined that with modern day PJ.

    For sure, that's the 'challenging beauty' of it 😁
