Glass Onion is a fun and good song.

 Gun needs to win this side and probably the whole album.
Agree.
Got a Rake? Sure!

I like OBLA because it is one of the few songs on the album with any energy. I've realised the lethargic and downbeat nature of the songwriting just isn't for me on this album. Though I do like Glass Onion.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Whatever makes me like this album is probably the same thing that makes me like trip hop or something like that.

I don't want to hear about you being in a popular band. That just ruins anything for me.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

For real, is that ATYP about starting the band and talking about their manager. Just awful.

Haha, I still think that's one of the good ones. Rhyming "mafia" with "get 'em out on yer" is just genius to me.

Are you saying that even though you're a 90s maniac, you are not the world's biggest 311 fan?

The planet Jendell is in the Andromeda galaxy, so technically you are correct.
