Does anybody think that the verses sound similiar to "Moves Like Jagger". Really, the song sounds like a mashup of "Moves Like Jagger" and some Broken Bells song. My least favorite song on the album.

Agreed. It's my 2nd least favorite. 1st least favorite is Hell of a Season.

I like the soulful vibe. I do not like the drum beat so much though. It's like that in a lot of the songs on the album, the straight drum beat gets irritating to me sometimes. It's like someone is continually punching me in the face, I can only take so much of it

I'm with alange on this. I really like it. Probably in my top 3. Dan's moaning in between the na nas is great. On the other hand, I still can't get into nova baby (sorry mirbs)

rufus i'm with you, nova baby is a terrible song, my ears just won't listen to it. it's like aaaaah stop this horrid reverberation around my head. Dead an Gone i quite like, my faves at the moment are RRB, Sister, Stop Stop (was stuck in my head all last night) Gold on the Ceiling

You guys have no idea what you're missing with Nova Baby. But no big deal, if you don't like it - you don't like it. I personally can't get enough of it. Love everything about it. Maybe the intro part is a bit weak but the rest of the song is stellar and very moving to me. Not for everyone though I guess, no problem.

And Mind Eraser is a little boring I guess. You just gotta kick back and let it groove. It's the only song on El Camino that I find to be dark/spooky so I dig it for that reason. I could see it being on Keep It Hid, although not in its current form exactly.

Hey do you guys remember when McRib said (some time ago), that they originally had thickfreakness (or was it rubber factory) mixed by someone outside the group and it came back sounding way too arena/glam rock?? mirbs or brucini can correct me on the details

Well fast forward to now. Maybe Danger Mouse mixed the unheard version

I jest

Haha! I can't remember the guys' name, but I remember Nappy sayin that the early Thickfreakness mix sounded like a Motley Crue album! I would actually like to hear it. Just curious ya know.

^^^^ Ok 'Ssippi - FUCKING lovin' the new avatar.

(Jesus I got a lot to catch up on!)

Hey, any of those new tour dates close enough for you to attend? Hope you get to go.

NOT totally off topic - I'd like to hear the early Thickfreakness mix too.

I must concede that Moves Like Jagger, although a stupid song, is kinda catchy and a guilty pleasure of mine (as have been past Maroon 5 songs...)

I suck?

i like dead and gone more and more every time i hear it. i particularly like the way the vocals are recorded/mixed... not just on this track, but most of the album. you hear a lot of the room... makes it sound very organic.
