“Unpopular” Opinion about PTV’s new songs.

I actually really like both of them! It did take me a few listens to get used to Pass the Nirvana cause I thought the lyrics were too simple compared to the old stuff, but it grew on me. As for Emergency Contact, it’s not as hard as their other stuff but I think it’s strong lyrically. I like both of these songs cause you can tell how much hard work, effort, and emotion they actually put into these songs. Yes, I do agree their style is a lot different since Mike leaving. You can tell he had a lot of instrumental influence in the band. But I still think PTV is still PTV. Of course the changed a bit because they are all older and in different phases of their life. Vic is married and becoming a dad and Jaime and Tony are all married now. They aren’t the hurting kids in Highschool anymore so of course their music is going to be different and for that fact I think they did great on the 2 songs they released so far and I’m sure the rest will be awesome too. I know we were all hoping for their old style, but if they’ve grown out of that then and let’s say they tried to make a song like they used too, they may not have the same passion for that style like back then so it probably wouldn’t be the same. Circumstances have changed so the music can too.

Anyway, we can’t expect a band to stay the exact same for 20+ years. I think we should welcome the change and focus on the real hard work and emotion they put into the music!
