I'm expecting to enjoy everything to an extent.

The artwork for YL should have been built around this concept:

I think he means "YM" as in Yellow Moon, since it's the "last chance" for greatness on the album.

Or something.

I didn't have the audio on at work for Jeff's vignette, but from the reviews we got I would guess that it's 'Infallible'

Frankm's sketch said "Jazzy feel to it"

Joost said "Another bass heavy track"

EDIT: Or... it could also be 'Pendulum'. Frankm's sketch said "I think Jeff is on upright bass here"

Wasn't 'Infallible' the soundcheck song? That didn't feel 'jazzy' at all and I didn't recognise it from what Jeff played. The plot thickens :shock:

Now, for the really geeky among us, can we imagine Jeff's bass part with the tour video music? Same notes / chords / key?
