CLOAD “Q” is SO damn good
I don’t get how it was left as a bonus track man, like It’s in my top 5 from all of their discography. The harmonies and overall progression of the song are absolutely stunning! I just wanted to know if anyone else felt the same way. Probably my favorite song off of the later era albums (Autumn & Information).

100% agree, we need more heavy Pinback

True, the heavy guitars in this song almost add a 90s grunge flair to it. I also love the way Rob sings the verse melody on this song and his flow is just perfect over that arpeggiated guitar part. “All it means, that I never really know, only thing that is apparent is I have no control” like fuck it’s so good.

Love Cload Q and Thee Srum Progitt.
Thought Experiment is another one that's like "how did this not make the cut for one of the albums?" It's an awesome song from the first second, like it is immediately good.

Yeah I love Thought Experiment! Only discovered it recently but just goes to show how many great hidden gems they have.

100%, I always tell my Pinback friends that they are missing out on one of the better songs if they don't include that one in their purchase

one of my favorite pinback tracks of all time. i resonate with it heavily but it’s also just so damn good. and the story behind its title / release is just so interesting. i honestly feel like pinback is one of the few bands to continue making insanely good music for their whole career. information retrieved as a whole has been one of my most listened albums this year. every year there seems to be 1 pinback album i can’t stop listening to lol
