    Wow, blown away. Best album since Yield. Yes, I said it.  Upper Hand into Waiting For Stevie might be the best 1-2 combo I’ve heard in 20 years. 
    I feel the same way and I loved Gigaton. Sounds great front to back.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Scared of Fear
    Upper Hand was somewhat disappointing for me.  The first minute is epic and you feel you’re about to enter this triumphant and incredible journey.  It had so much potential.  I expected the song to build back up at some point similar to Inside Job.

    But after the intro, the song suddenly crashes and kinda dies into this just ok ballad.  Just my opinion.

    I was underwhelmed by:
    Upper Hand - Had some cool sounds but didnt feel like one cohesive song and melody didnt hook me.
    Waiting For Stevie - Had high hopes based on reactions but didnt do much, felt like the same chord progression throughout, wonder if its more the effects on the guitar that had people think its like from 10.
    Setting Sun - Didnt love the vocal delivery or the main guitar riff, was hoping for more from the ending.

    Having said all that, in a few more listens Im sure I will love them!

    But what do I know, I didnt love Life Wasted or Severed Hand when I first heard them in 2006.

    Waiting For Stevie
    Picking one is like choosing a favourite child. 

    I honestly loved every song that I heard. Some
    more than others, however this album, in my opinion is chock block full of great tunes. I love Running but how it was chosen above 6 or 7 others as a single is beyond me. But then again it doesn’t surprise me as PJ have never been the type of band to release their best tunes to the wider music community…not to radio anyway. 

    Can’t wait for the official release 

    Pure 🔥

    Got to Give
    I'm not sure how I can declare which song is best after two listens, especially when the poll excludes the one song that I've listened to enough to know that I really love it.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Won't Tell
    Hard to vote based on the record store/theater release bootlegs, but I find myself drawn to this promising song.

    Wreckage is such a banger one of their best. Great harmony part and melody. Love the chorus.

    If there is a song that is as good as 'whoever said' on the new album. That will be a win for me. Best song they've recorded in the past 22 years in my opinion.
    Agreed,  WES is in the top 3 best pj songs since Avocado.  Haven't heard this whole album yet, but out of the 3 released so far I like Dark Matter the best .
