    Yeah, it's definitely impossible to have conversations about conversations. Because of "Engrish," apparently.

    I have conversations about conversations all the time. I think that's called gossip

    Doesn't "about" in the context of that line mean "around" anyway? So it's like "do you hear the conversation we're dancing around and not actually having?" Because that's a fucking devastating image and makes that line great.

    Yeah that's probably what Jim means.

    Sometimes you just off to phrase something a little off-kilter to make it work rhythmically or melodically

    Would make some sense if Jim Adkins were British. Call me crazy but I think its just a bad line. I feel your eye lasers hitting.
     
  7. The sentence is perfectly fine with "about."

    In the acoustic version it's "around." You happy bro?

    Electable feels like a different take on Sweetness, it's huge but not as good. One of my lesser favorite on CTL.

    "Electable" has the unfortunate duty of following up one of the best four-song runs in the catalog.

    Yep. Any song that has to follow up "Carry You" has a tough time of living up

    Carry You is alright. Electable is kind of fun. Not their best.

    Hey now, I don't think that, I just think it's like... the second worst song on Chase This Light.

    we're all a bunch of weirdos on a quest to belong Prestigious

    Am I really the only one that dislikes Here It Goes? Literally only song in their catalog I don't like

    I was jk Dizzy is a top 5 Jimmy song.

    Worst song on CTL might be Firefight

    I think the worst is the title track. Firefight is third worst

    Also, there are really no runs on CTL... tracks 1-8 form an incredible eight song run.

    Happier yeah. It's a bit less shitty that way.

    Gross. If you think the best 4 song run in JEW's catalogue starts with a song named "Big Casino", it's no wonder we disagree. That song is laughable and the 3 after it are diluted JEW and not much better.
