Sleight of Hand is the only song on the album I love. I've seen them live three times but haven't heard that one. Youtubing it asap.

"Pendulum" and "Infallible" hold my attention the most each time I go through the album. I have been missing the dark and moody PJ that wasn't really present in Backspacer (but closed out Avocado). I completely agree with you about "Sirens" too. I kind of hated it at first, but the lyrics and buildup are much more…

Is it just me, or does "Infallible" sound just like a Fiona Apple song?

I definitely agree that PJ is a better album than Backspacer, even though I don't think it reaches the highs Backspacer does.

Yeah, I definitely think the band only had a 2-album lull, with Binaural being the only fully disappointing one of the bunch.

There was a Warped Tour (i think) where Cornell brought out Chester Bennington from Linkin Park to sing Hunger Strike.
That combo was undoubtedly worse than anything he could do to cover RATM.

I hate Sandra Bullock, but she's really good in this movie, and absolutely right for the part.

I'm not implying that Deakins' cinematography wasn't well utilized by Villenueve, rather that it is the sum of his well-utlized talents that makes the movie feel fluid. Everything else about the movie loses consistency towards the end, and I think a less gifted cinematographer wouldn't have been able to visually…

I posted about this in spoiler space, but his cinematography is the only thing holding this movie together. The twist-centered second half reduces characters that were really engaging into single-emotion plot movers. It's such a shame, because first-half Jackman is starting to deliver an Oscar worthy performance that…

Saw the movie last night. I liked it just fine, but the first half evokes so many great movies (Zodiac, In the Bedroom, Cache) that the almost procedural second half was bound to disappoint. The only thing making the twist remotely work is Roger Deakins' cinematography, which could make a Tyler Perry movie feel like…

Especially since Gravity is clearly the biggest first-world problem movie coming out this year.

The real question is…

This is a super long way of saying that popular music has split among so many niches that determining a unifying "voice of our generation" is silly. 
Either way, it's still really fun to discuss and bicker over.

@avclub-cbe8412e7469c2bba155a2a353401e5b:disqus  That's a pretty ridiculous question, but I like ridiculous questions.

I would have liked it more if he hadn't let his joke devolve into another joke about gross sexual embarrassment for Samberg. It's starting to take me out of Lonely Island songs and it really took me out of last night's bit.

"[Franco and Hathaway] had the same comedic chemistry as Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman."

I definitely had a hard time following how this review actually felt about some of the roasters. Ansari and Kroll are dismissively shrugged off right in the beginning but get specific props towards the end. 
These roasts are really just about punch-lines, and I feel like this review avoids actually critiquing the…

I'd like them to bring drunk Jen Kirkman in as a panelist for next season.

I almost feel bad for laughing every time he brings out those wolverine claws, but it's such an absurdly stupid joke to return to that I can't help myself. 
Having said that, they shouldn't return next season, and I fear that, with Miller's sensibilities, they might.

I don't like superhero movies (mostly), but I will love Afleck as Batman if he dons the Boston accent, refers to the Batmobile as "the Batcaaaa," and drops the f-bomb at least twice in every sentence. 
Oh, and the bat-suit is just Afleck in a mask and black Nike sweatpants and hoodie."What the fuck is this…
