"Infallible" is a pretty big letdown in terms of how sexy it sounded in that little vignette. The chorus is a total "Marker" move.

Infallible is not at all what I was thinking it would be.... I'm sure I'll end up loving it but right now.. ehh.

There was a real lack of a melody I thought. It was alright.

I liked the dark atmosphere, almost smoldering. I think it's gonna be killer live.

PLEASE NOTE: Read the fine print on the streaming site...it will only stream for a certain period of time and it doesn't say for how long.

Attention: Any of our audio experts, please create a nice lossless (is that the term?) copy for us all.

Because I don't like "Marker".

Haha. I did think it sounded weird as I typed it but decided to go with it anyway in the excitement of it all.

Sleeping by Myself is alright, considering I've heard the Uke version about once. Would've made a better B-Side or Christmas single but oh well. It like to hear a version of it played really fast and cockney involving the abusing of an acoustic guitar, a bit like Lukin in the Immagine in Cornice DVD.

While a Western guitar motif lost on the swings drum bass fusion, get your own thoughts into the subconscious often forgotten. "Pendulum" is a sweeping soul from the ballast.

Marker is a better song and doesn't fall as much as this in the chorus. But it still has some interest for me. Pendulum however has what I want in spades. I really like the Infallible>Pendulum>SWhole stretch.

Infallible kind of sounds like a video game.

Love it... For such a simple song there's a lot going on it seems.

The percussion on "Infallible" is pretty nice. The chorus is weak. Not a big fan of this one.

Was really worried SBM was going to be Speed of Sound-ed -- but I actually kind of like what they did with it.
