Divergences like "I'll Be Sleeping By Myself Tonight" seem like album filler.
But filler that's quality.
Pendulum might be the most rounded out song of the album. Reminds me of "Garden" in tone and guitar.
I have to admit that after a 2nd listen I side with the pop fans for the most part. PJ is a better band when they put their finger on the vinyl and slow it just a bit...

I really like "I'll Be Sleeping By Myself Tonight." It was also on Ed's solo ukulele album.
I didn't really appreciate "Lightning Bolt" until I saw them play it live on Jimmy Fallon. That was awesome.
I like their more upbeat songs, but I prefer the ones that are less punk. I prefer songs like Go, State of Love & Trust or Got Some over Spin the Black Circle & MYM.
