Seems like those that posted back came away with the idea I hate PJ. What up with that?

I will update this or do an aside or something once I have had more spins. When I posted the other, I didn't think this one was out until the end of this month, otherwise I would have held it.

Usually I end up liking the album a lot more once I've gotten to know it...like a person.

Certainly a bit more "angry" than past disc, at least lyrically (although not much can top the contempt that drips in "Bu$hleager") Joe: Gotta say the artwork in PJs disc is a little disturbing</blockquote> This part was as he was reading this post: <blockquote>Joe: There were a couple 'vaguely familiar' songs on the disc to me... Parachutes sounds like what would happen if Pearl Jam did a Beatles song Joe: I thought "Unemployable" was a cover it sounds so familiar... OB: I feel like Unemployable is right about where their sound should be these days OB: I don't know that it seemed familiar though Joe: Unemployable isn't really my favorite on the disc... Joe: I know... for some reason the way he's singing sound like old Kiss or Alice Cooper Joe: That's what it is that makes it sound 'familiar'... Joe: and there's another song that's on the tip of my brain that has a similar guitar riff that's in Unemployable Joe: Guitars in Army Reserve sound like U2</blockquote> I am sharing my IM conversation with Joe again – Sean
