Well decent. I wish some of the other tracks had kept this brashness.

"Well decent" lol. damn stan, even your compliments have a negative tone

Post **Posted:** Wed Nov 11, 2015 6:34 pm

Post **Posted:** Wed Nov 11, 2015 6:48 pm

Post **Posted:** Wed Nov 11, 2015 6:51 pm

yeah, so true. those dudes are pretty cool

That drum sample sounds rawesome.

I can't help but feel like the elements that were most prominent in the ATP boot should be a bit louder tho.

The new bassline is cool and totally changes how the melody rides on top of the rest of the track, and again, drums are bangin, but I miss those watery piano chords being really loud and sort of defining the feel of the song.

this is similar to what happened to popadam/no mans land, but no mans land also kept most of the chaotic background stuff from atp prominient in the studio mix, while adding in a new twist with a more structured bass line.

The sounds in the outro are awesome, and the vocals are super crisp. Super stoked to finally jam all the greaper tracks in one playlist!

yeah know what u mean, something about adding the bass really changes up the feel of the vocal melody. I almost prefer where it's like just the chords and the vocals, such a weird and raw sound. Not complaining though, so nice to finally have a studio version of this amazing track

this def feels like a brother to no mans land. (and they both kinda seem related to faces in the crowd to me). an lp made from just the ep songs would be so good, prbly just as good as the proper album. That initial vocal/drum sample is so delicious

and ya i kinda rlly dig these big fat bass lines, seems like a new vibe for panda

Trip
But it's silly to trip when

Stay away
Come again another way

How now
Found a pal
Underneath soiled towel

Softly blast for me
Morals don't make remedies
Please don't, please don't cry
Give awake another try to give

What do you guys think this song is about?
For some reason, the soiled towel line really sticks out to me...

This track is breathtaking. Definitely my favorite non album track

Post **Posted:** Wed Nov 11, 2015 8:24 pm

So... is everyone putting this before Jabberwocky in the digital version of Crosswords EP? Or after Cosplay?

Totally agree on the bass line, which should only come in half as often to let the vocal melody ride the beat better but hey, unless they're looking for a creative consultant.. A good track to round off an exciting era. I know I've moaned about a few changes and choices but I know we've been very fortunate with everything that's been released, as well as all the extras. Ultimately, the ATP rehearsal is my highlight of this era - and which other musicians would share such a thing? - but the album was very special to me at a really life changing time when my wife was in hospital. Yeah, sometimes I come across as a dick head but my favourite band etc. I'm a lifer. Thanks.

haha, didn't think about that. We only use it for our show recordings...guess I should expect an email

Post **Posted:** Wed Nov 11, 2015 9:12 pm

thanks for that, dance avey (dad)!
Nice transition from the live ATP > studio Jabberwocky
Can't wait until I can find this track on it's own though.

Post **Posted:** Wed Nov 11, 2015 9:13 pm

Does anyone know if 1. The CD comes with a dl card? and 2. If said card is a lossless (ie wav/flac) download?

(Still haven't listened to Lisbon Zoo yet! Delayed gratification is killing me, but I want to bump that wav file the first time I hear it.)

I agree. Seeing the live shows evolve, the ATP rehearsal and Swallow in Hollow have been the highlights for me. Something about the spontaneity and looseness of those branches of the Grim Reaper era really hit it home for me. When Noah's voice is upfront and able to breath, I don't think you can possibly go wrong.

Overall this era has been so strong and rewarding. I hope PB and SB and everyone else involved have been able to make a healthy sum of cash from the GR jams. They definitely deserve it!

Really digging this. Super stoked it was released! Thanks p.bear and sonic
