Well, after several listens I might like right before the solo the best. Whew....that fucking voice.

S/T might overtake Backspacer, if only because, well... this. It's making Backspacer seem insignificant to say the least. I only put it there because I enjoy it all the way through even though I don't love anything on it. S/T is a very patchy listen. I only like half of it really.Juvenal wrote:Your lack of love for S/T is saddening, sir.harmless wrote:Everything from Riot Act upwards

Backspacer

I know it's off topic but what do you like off S/T? I think it's pretty solid.

Yeah, the video version is cut. That might actually account for Matt's out-of-time kablam.Iowaska_Experience wrote:Are you listening to the video version?

Still love the song, though.

No, but that's a good excuse for me to give it another play.Iowaska_Experience wrote:Are you listening to the video version?

Everything is between "OK" and "really good", up to and including "Gone". Everything else I find bland and boring.Juvenal wrote:I know it's off topic but what do you like off S/T? I think it's pretty solid.

Even Army Reserve? That's a great song. As an aside I saw them perform it at Turin (apologies if time befuddles the memory) and Stone and Jeff sang the most awesome background vocals during the chorus.

It might click years down the line, who knows.
Generally I don't like Ed's song-writing style across the album, with a few exceptions. And then Mike writes the last one

Inside Job is definitely better live - I saw a nice darker version in Chicago that really changed my mind on the song.WtOB? wrote:i like em both!harmless wrote:Even now we have Sirens?
