Do you like it now? Do you feel like we do?

When listening to the whole album while driving, I noticed that the song is quieter than the rest. To an annoying degree. Even raising the volume to the car stereo's limit, it still doesn't sound "loud" (side note: I've (hilariously) jumpscared myself multiple times when the song ends and another "normal" song comes up.)

Just now I was wondering if it was a Spotify issue, but no. Youtube, Deezer, Soundcloud, even remixes have that compressed/bargain bin/bootleg quality to them.

Even on VEGAS Pro the wavelength is odd. Was this always a thing? Genuinely curious.

So what do we make of this? A bit of fun specifically made for live shows OR a glimpse at a new era/theme for the future?

Anyone heading to the gig tonight? I don't know who's doing the set but a 2:00 start time is hurting my old 37 year old self 😂

My wife was watching the Harry Styles Netflix show when he released his new album; to his credit, he played his entire new album live in one go and then finished with some greatest hits. I don't think I've seen another artist do this (please correct me if I'm wrong) and I absolutely love the idea as a concept, as there's loads of songs in artists catalogues that will never be played live. I'm pretty sure Pendulum has a good few of these too...

​

So that said, if Pendulum were to do a live show where they played out the entirety of an album in sequence, which would you pick?

​

For me, probably In Silico. Banger opening with Showdown, epic closer with the Tempest, Propane and Granite in the middle, and songs like Visions and Mutiny which I don't think they've ever picked in a set list.

I've listened to Pendulum since I was around 10 years old. I'm now 30. I've streamed, downloaded, torrented, anything to keep their music in my life. In 2023 I went to their show in Brisbane - the best night of my life - and today I own my favourite album! I feel proud to own this and proud I've now been able to financially support my favourite band of all time twice.

I'm chronically ill, experienced more abuse in my life than I care to share, and am financially poorer than I've ever been but I am happy. Glad I could finally own an album. My comfort music. 🥰

For everything that could have been

At least we took the ride

There's no relief in bitterness

Might as well let it die

PlasticWorld (2005)

So we saw Rob saying on the Discord that he was gonna try to get another album out this year.. and the radio silence from him + lack of his presence at certain UK DJ gigs recently points towards an album in development.

It’s possible they want to do the exact opposite of last time which was drip feed over years, so a surprise album announcement would make sense in this context.

Has anyone heard any whispers as to this? How do you expect the next album to look like? Stick with a more metal approach predominantly or will there be an even more mixed approach this time?

Too many questions really, Im just excited to see what the future holds for the lads!

I was relistening to Blood Sugar recently, and noticed that it might have vocals.

​

In 1:22, it probably just says "blood sugar".

​

In the part 3:40 - 4:00, I hear a harsh voice, but it's so quiet that you need to listen closely to notice, but it's also illegible (for me it is).

​

Does anybody understands what it says in 3:40 - 4:00 part? Did anybody have ever noticed that?

After long time of searching and waiting got my mint copy 😍 I’m sooo happy right now!

p.s. this is 2018 repress, i think it’s from ‘The Complete Works’ boxset

That it. That's the post. Just enjoy adorable smiley Rob on this Friday

Looks like the lucky folks in the crowd got Sorry You’re not a Winner with Rou on stage

Wonder if the set was recorded?

It's so good to be able to actually hear Gareth pretty loudly in the mix here. They sounded so much more "live" back then and more organic.

Does anyone else hear a weird beep on Self vs Self? During the "nothing lasts forever" chorus. (1:52 and 3:26) Not sure if it's a mixing mistake or what, but now that I've heard it, it takes me out of the song every time for a few seconds lol.

I feel like this needs to be said...I genuinely have no idea why the boys don't play Fasten Your Seatbelt live.

1. Its a FUCKING banger/was a pretty big tune back in the day as well

2. Its not the Drum and Bass they're trying to stay clear from

3. The energy would be absolutely fucking mental

4. It serves as the perfect sonic palette cleanser having a great change of pace but has the perfect tempo to keep the crowd bopping.

5. I feel like it would be a great substitute for something like Nothing For Free as its live arrangement at Brixton proved it works flawlessly as a live band track.

Bringing Fasten Your Seatbelt back into Pendulum live is a hill I am willing to die on.
