I strongly disagree with your assertion, Daniel. I find that the Green Album, Maladroit and Make Believe (to a lesser extent) all have their merits, and I'm loving this new song so far. I've found that a lot of the people who talk about Pinkerton like some work of unfathomable, untouchable genius really just like to hear themselves say that.
That, or maybe whoever made this just took elements from the Dark Knight teaser trailer that happen to be easy to find in another movie that features the exact same characters (like, say, shots of Batman and the Joker, Alfred, explosions, the Batmobile, rooftops, playing cards), and edited them all together...
Tonight, an article that I literally risked getting fired for writing (I was at work, off-task for several hours and quite obviously so) was soundly rejected, and I'm drunk and bitter enough to pimp it here, because I know a lot of you guys know me (or at least virtually know me) and know that I'm not a total douche, and also because we've been pimping 106% all over the place and not catching too much shit for it. Anyway here it is:
I knew this was fucked from that opening typo. Also, there could hardly be a more random group of characters sitting on that couch at the end. This is so stupid it's giving me brain damage.
