The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Most of these are soured by 1 or 2 songs. I think I can keep it sweet.
Mind Your Manners My Father's Son Got Some Johnny Guitar World Wide Suicide Comatose Severed Hand Marker in the Sand Parachutes Unemployable The End Gonna See My Friend
I really don't understand how someone could not like Comatose.
I wish I liked it more. But it rubs me the wrong way. Stip and I have gone back and forth about this for a long time. That one and Habit. I just can't get into those songs.

I'll probably want to tinker with it (I have now admittedly edited several times), but I'm happy with this. I like the two sided format.
SIDE A 1. Pendulum 2. Infallible 3. Severed Hand 4. Mind Your Manners 5. Speed of Sound 6. Getaway
SIDE B 7. Come Back 8. Marker In The Sand 9. Unemployable 10. My Father's Son 11. Lightning Bolt (with a proper solo to finish the song, fuck that fade out) 12. Yellow Moon

I feel the same way about Comatose and Habit (amongst other similar songs in the catalog).

By the way, I love putting together track lists and things like this. Reading other peoples track listings is always interesting. It would be fun to do this with other sets of albums as well.

I feel that way about Comatose, but I love Habit (studio).

Well, if everyone was picking the same set of songs, it might indicate that there is a large chunk of material on these records that ain't all that good.
However, I'd say most songs, apart from, I dunno - "Gone" - have been chosen by a number of people - and the tracklists are wildly different. So maybe we don't all collectively dislike these records are much as we think.
I still hold to the idea that Avocado is a steaming turd. The songs themselves have some vague potential, but they all sound horrible on that record, and no matter how hard I try - I just can't get into any of it. But you guys seem to be giving it serious love on your tracklists...
Backspacer is my least favorite PJ record and I still wouldn't call it a steaming turd. I think it has a lot to enjoy. A S/T is a better record. I'm not surprised to see the love it's getting given the thread parameters.
