First off, sorry for the lack of mom’s ass kicking lately but Ive been sick…but now that Im back I have to say that if I had never heard pinback before I would be like “it’s pretty cool” but since I have I’m more like

“One-Trick-Pony”

Asses my Mom kicked today : 1

Well I think we all owe ourselves a hearty pat on the collective back for being able to sniff out a B-Side.

Guys/Girls I gotta tell you I just found out that this new Pinback record is not really a new record. Its coming out on Ace Fu and its more like a B-sides thing. Ether old tracks they had lying around that Ace Fu wants to cash in on or throw away tracks that Pinback gave them.

i fourth that emotion. i agree with matt, it sounds phoned in, and like they were still lying in bed when the left the voicemail and the morning fog hadn’t quite worn off. i used to really like pinback, but they are one of the few bands that after seeing them live, im just not that into them anymore. i’ll stick to listening to their studio tracks.

Yeah, I third that emotion. This song could have been one of the weaker tracks on either of their two previous albums.

They’re such a creative, unique and detail-oriented band. You’d think they’d pride themselves on pushing the envelope but it sounds like they just phoned this one in.

Yeah, I wasn’t all that impressed either.

I loved Summer in Abaddon, but I wonder if this new cd isn’t going to be too similar and wear itself out quickly.

I’m kind of upset about it, but I’d def. still be willing to give the rest of the album a shot.

I want two songs tomorrow too!!

wow. i’m a big pinback fan but i’m pretty disappointed by this track. i kinda feel like the song never gets off the ground. is it me or does it sound like it starts halfway into inself? i know that most of their songs are relatively anti-climactic but geesh… i found my attention drifting away from this one instantly and then having to go back and restart it. anyway, regarding my preference for tomorrow, i think you should send both, but that’s just me being greedy…
