Also, the songs have a little more, but he isn't sure if 'depth' is the right word. That worried me a bit.

If 'Infallible' isn't cool as hell, I'll do something drastic.

I wouldn't read too much into that quote. He was being careful with his words. I don't think he's really comfortable being the first person to really discuss specific songs on the album.

If anything, MYM could easily be described as 'pop', so if he means it in that sense, then fine.

The article should've had an audio file playing with some plucky piano as background music.

Even with side projects, a year and a half feels like an awfully long time to get no work done on a record. I had figured they were going in intermittently, but according to O'Brien there was no work done between 2010/11 and this winter?

Did that 'Ed putting a uke song on the record' thing end up being unsubstantiated?

I've suddenly just had the horrible vision of 'Infallible' being a piece of shiny self-help / inspirational pop / pap, about beating the world's bad times and feeling awesome and appreciating music. I feel infallible yeah yeah yeah no one's gonna break me down.

I don't think it's been unsubstantiated as much as just not substantiated.
