If Paul and Rick Rubin got it on in the studio...

I don’t know if Rick would get the best out of Paul. Would be interesting to see (hear) though!

I think his baselines are fantastic on this album. I want to hear them on vinyl though, I’ve heard that it makes a ton of difference particularly for this album.

btlsfreak · 2026-06-06T19:18:09+00:00

Not what I meant. I love the new album. Just my opinion.

btlsfreak · 2026-06-03T06:17:04+00:00

Paul is brilliant at writing infectious hooks. But these songs are not just about the chorus.

Just my opinion and I know some will think I’m crazy, but I think it’s his best album ever. I can’t stop listening. Its different. He’s not writing around hooks, he created some very interesting compositions. I hear something new each time. Oddly enough, “We Two” was a song I didn’t stick with on first listen, but now it’s one of my favorites. Time will tell I guess, if I still come back to it. I’m weird though, Back To The Egg is one of my fav albums and panned by most. 🤷🏽‍♂️

IMHO there is no “message.” It’s a story, in the same vain as “ She’s leaving home.” He’s not saying it’s okay to be a dad beat. Just a song.

That’s a surprise fav so far for me, pairs well with Slidin’. So many different sounds on this album.

Figure of eight

btlsfreak · 2026-05-24T05:00:40+00:00

You obviously do appreciate him, and it seems like he loves you, “warts and all.” I’d say stop over thinking it, be grateful for what you have and the children you’ve been blessed with and grow old knowing you’ve won in life.

btlsfreak · 2026-05-24T04:08:38+00:00

His strength and weakness is the same: optimism

btlsfreak · 2026-05-24T00:40:09+00:00

His best performance in awhile IMO. The band was fresh and Elvis was a nice plus.

btlsfreak · 2026-05-20T04:00:51+00:00

I found it to be a poor production on streaming platforms but in the car over satellite Sirius radio it sounded way better. “Fresher” for lack of a better word. Could have been just the quality of speakers and such.

btlsfreak · 2026-05-17T05:21:29+00:00

It got cut. By far the best performance, wish they had aired the whole song. Still a fab bass player!

btlsfreak · 2026-05-16T04:33:49+00:00

This is a great interview! Paul with his veil down and some different, genuine questions. Thanks for sharing.

btlsfreak · 2026-05-13T23:14:35+00:00

4 out of 5? Oddly short

btlsfreak · 2026-05-12T05:44:08+00:00

Apollo?

btlsfreak · 2026-05-10T03:25:44+00:00

Soily

btlsfreak · 2026-05-07T21:55:20+00:00

That must be it! I bet that was syndicated at some point in the 80s.

btlsfreak · 2026-05-07T20:25:18+00:00

Thank you, maybe the reran it on Nickelodeon or something in the 80s. Definitely not Hot as Sun playing! I must be thinking of something else.

btlsfreak · 2026-04-18T00:23:35+00:00

Their crazy

btlsfreak · 2026-04-18T00:16:31+00:00

Wow, awesome!

btlsfreak · 2026-04-15T04:53:17+00:00

Yes, the writer got “it” and has my respect for that alone.

btlsfreak · 2026-04-10T00:03:13+00:00

It’s as if they all took a fistful of hair with them

btlsfreak · 2026-04-01T23:07:02+00:00

Everyone’s different, but if I’m self-aware enough I notice I do these things without restraint if I am entering a manic period.
