I thought it was mainly recorded before the final Soundgarden tour? I’m sure Matt mentioned somewhere that he had played it for Chris.

My copy shipped today

Did not know this. Will have to listen (and where can I read lyrics?) again and consider this.

Just reread the Rolling stone article. I think i was wrong and most are reasonably recent at least starting around early 2016.

This is so good and just keeps getting better. It's a pity that matt's garage rock tendencies never got fully assimilated into pj.

I think they have. Songs like: The Fixer, Evacuation, Get Right, In the Moonlight, You Are, Johnny Guitar, and also Big Wave and Ole are either Matt originals or very very Matt-influenced. I personally love those tunes.

I hope we get a couple of more Matt tunes on the next one. I think Lightning Bolt was missing his songwriting.

haha i forgot about Olé

I love them too, but if you go to PJdb most of those songs are near the top of the "longest time since last played" list, and some have only been played recently because they played the whole album at the show. He's practically invisible on LB. The Fixer, sure, but listen to his original demo, then listen to Cavedweller, then listen to what PJ turned The Fixer into. I hope he brings something to the next record, but won't be surprised if he holds his best stuff back for himself.

Anyone get their vinyl yet? Really hoping I get the blue one

Got mine today. Got the sweet blue vinyl

Not bad but I've only heard this once.
