I've never liked "Swallowed Whole", just not my back and sounds like an outtake from Into The Wild.

Unpopular opinion, but I think "Sleeping By Myself" is one of the best songs on this album (which is my least favorite PJ album).

This album has aged very well for me. I listened on my walk into work and I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed it. The powerful guitars and Matt/Jeff are a big reason for it.

Sleeping by Myself is definitely one of the best on the album

Remember how pissed everyone was when the tracklist dropped and OH MY GOD THEY TOOK UP SUCH PRECIOUS SPACE WITH A FULL BAND VERSION OF SOME DUMB EDDIE VEDDER SONG THAT WE'VE HAD FOR LIKE EIGHT YEARS ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?

That was fun.

I actually think if the last album was all full badn versions of ed's uke songs I would have liked it more than lightning bolt.

+1.

The full band Setting Forth is surprisingly fun.

God, no thanks.

I think Sleeping By Myself might be the worst thing they’ve ever done.

Sleeping By Myself is a shit factory. It should never have been on the album. I may feel a bit less hostile towards it if it were a B-side or fan club single.

Getaway is a good song hidden in a terrible mix.
Mind Your Manners is ok
My Fathers's Son could be good with a better delivery from Ed and a less wordy lyrics
Sirens is ok, deserved a better delivery too.
Lightning Bolt is alright.
Infalible has an awesome vers, a cool bridge, an awesome instrumental with a terrible chorus
Pendulum is GOOD.
Swalloed Whole is awful.
Let The Records Play is fun, and I love the main riff and the instrumental.
Sleeping By Myself is awful.
Yellow moon is GREAT
Future Days is terrible.

Still my least favorite album, the closer I have to be a bad album.

I’m on board with almost all of this. :thumbsup:
