Pendulum and My Father's Son are my favourites after one listen.

Yellow Moon really jumped out to me. This has a ton of longterm potential. Very Neil Young/REM spacey country vibe, it came off as surprisingly bright and had an almost uplifting feel, wiothout knowing any of the lyrics.

Pendulum has a Three Fish feel to it. Stone and Jeff wrote this one?
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.

MFS sounds like a Rush/Incubus mashup. And it works incredibly well.

First Listen, I'm a very happy man. I'm satisfied with this album. It sounds fresh to me, not like a band that been around forever and it's their 10th album. It sounds new. Infallible, Pedulum, Yellow Moon are the stands out to me. I've always liked their slower songs much more then the rockers so I think I'll like this record a year from now. There's not a song that "sucks" to my ears at least. SBM is ok, it's an experiment to me so I'm good with that.

Very Happy and satisfied. Solid album.

Oh! And you can make out so many little nuggets in LTRP that change the sitcom vibe feel for me. ..now it sounds badass. ..to me anyway.
