Seven O'Clock

[LoathedVermin72]

The verses are absolutely fucking horrible. Incredibly long words, shitty cadence, BORING. The opening jam sounded so cool, like the ending jam of Daughter. Then it goes into the Ed cringe fest. The chorus is quite damn nice, but it's not worth the price of admission for those fucking verses.

Ed should have sang on top of that opening jam instead, could have grooved on that and led into the chorus and back into the jam. The verses kill this song or me.

Agree with this

Also agree it doesn’t sound like Springsteen at all

Uh, your point?

that it sounds exactly like Bruce Springsteen

Uh.......if you say so buddy

[Thejambi]

People really need to stop saying "Pink Floyd influenced".

We must have different opinions on what a Pink Floyd influence would sound like

The guitar tones and effects scream Pink Floyd, particularly in the chorus.

The paralelism with Bruce is obvious in this one, I don't think it can be argued.

lol at pretending the verses don't sound like Springsteen

[Vindicator]

the verses are absolutely the prettiest highlight of this song and what's supposed to be its climax is underwritten, so that's frustrating

but I'll live with it, because those verses are worth the price of admission

heh, other way around for me. I find the chorus enjoyable and the outro decent if cheesy. I just can't stand the verses.

[stip]

It's odd. I like this song, but I cannot remember how the music goes when I'm not listening (same is true of never destination, retrograde, and take the long way). I do remember the vocal melody

[stip]

oh yeah. that's what it sounds like. What a soothing song. There's so much comfort food on this album.

[stip]

it struck me this morning that lyrically and sonically this is an inversion of sleight of hand

I want to draw attention back to my brilliant observation that no one has talked about.

Springsteen would NEVER haphazardly throw his voice around a verse like Eddie does here

[Homeboyd]

I like this more with each listen. The chorus does not veer into cheese territory for me and I think Ed sounds about as good as he can on this.

it's Springsteen but worse lol

[LoathedVermin72]

Just listened again.....yeah I hear absolutely zero Springsteen here, no idea what you guys are talking about

[EJ]

If I didn't know who was singing the verses before that first chorus section, I would have guessed Bruce immediately.

Same page as you buddy.

[lecherouslittlestump]

How would you rank Bruce's 80s output?

Me:

Tunnel of Love
Nebraska
The River
Born In The USA

[darthvedder81]

It’s probably been said but it’s very REM-y. Not a bad thing. Sort of that somber but kinda meandering and happy vibe going on.
