There's a definite beautiful, vast expanse to it.

I love the irony between the beautiful balladry of 'Comeback Story' and its lyrics. I thought it was going to bother me that the chorus borrows from a joke, but it doesn't.
Oh, I love the "shoes" line. :haha:

You've heard the joke, right? Of course you have but I'll write it again anyway.

I got mine off of FilesTube. If you can't find a download (not sure I should post a link here), you can always stream it on iTunes.

After several listens my favorite songs on it keeps changing. It's not as good as early KOL, but it's better than I was expecting.

Okay help me out. I was playing On The Chin and my girlfriend says to me, "That sounds like Scratch by Kendall Payne." She played it for me and I told her no way. She said I'm crazy, is she right? :shake:

So this album is actually good? I skimmed through it (very quickly) and am having trouble wanting to give it a shot. It sounds incredibly boring.

To me, it's for people who like all of KOL. If you only like the first couple of albums, you're probably not going to like this. It's a hybrid of EVERYTHING they have done...from the dirty down home boogie of the early days to the big arena rock gloss of their later work. I think it's great...but I like all of their albums.

But the chord structure reminds of something... can't remember what it is, arg.
About Today, The National?

Great song :)
