You didn't say anything so I just assumed that's what you meant.

Re: Swallowed Whole
That's the point when Eddie sings "I can feel the rush". When he does that the music elevates to a different level - like you can feel the rush. It's pretty cool.evenslow wrote:Juvenal wrote:Seriously, I gasped at this point.

Re: Swallowed Whole
This one (and l-bolt) may pick up when we get a cleaner copy since there is more going on in those songs and they don't benefit from dirtier leaks the way LTRP and Getaway might. There's some really nice rushing moments when the song picks up steam, and a nice contrast with the more laid back parts of the song.

Re: Swallowed Whole
Still on the bottom of the list for me. Could change in the context of the album.

Re: Swallowed Whole
This and SBM seem to be musically lighter moments. Perhaps bookending the meat of the issue.

Re: Swallowed Whole
This is the song most affected by Ed Ved's weird pronunciation.

Re: Swallowed Whole
My least favorite out of the leaked ones. But I still like it. The chorus is my favorite part.
The lyrics are nice to me, I dont mind hippie eddie.

Re: Swallowed Whole
I just gotta say Ive been loving this song lately...and i agree with Stip that this song will sound better when we hear the actual album version...loving mikes solo...its very reminiscent of a Riot Act era solo, short, sharp tight but with some nice groove to it....plus it has some great lyrics ................. "what lies beyond the grave might be welcomed change"...thats gold eddie!!!

So this is the first time in ages that you've felt a PJ bridge fitted your trousers?harmless wrote:Just Googled it, apparently you can use "fitted" but in the context of tailoring or D.I.Y etc, i.e. the tailor fitted the trousers by shortening them. So either way I was wrong and ugh.
