I get this sort of vibe too.
Maybe this album is kind of designed to be retracked... with a few E.P arrangements possible.
I'd say that it was designed in 3 acts but the MFS>Sirens kills that. Plus I don't think LB partners well with Infallible>Pendulum>SW.
Nope. I liked the idea of swapping LTRP with Sirens.

I'd much rather that than having these tracks dotted around. It's like a little unplugged set at the end of a very short gig.
Which sounds awful for me

I really like the ending. It's not like they're all three complete acoustic ballads. Sleeping By Myself is kind of upbeat and Yellow Moon features a lot of electric guitar work.

And it totally isn't just Ed and BOB. I can hear Jeff! Stone/Mike are also playing nice little guitar parts.

I think this sounds really nice, Eddie included. It's just a pleasant but kind of boring song.

This sing makes perfect sense now.

Not crazy about the Enoesque hovering jingly keyboards in the background but ill five them time.

The fiddle is perfect :)

Yup. My biggest issue is that the last piano part doesn't begin right on the final notes of the guitar, but there's a gap. It doesn't make sense to me.

My thought as Yellow Moon was ending and knowing Future Days was all that was left was that they dropped the ball on the last four tracks. I don't dislike them, but I haven't changed my mind on that initial thought yet. But I've definitely been doing some re-tracking in my head to see if that changes things.

don't complain.. it allows us to easily snip it off and pretend it never existed.

The thing saving the piano is actually that echo / tremolo on it. It makes it sound *bigger*, as if it's in a hall or something. Better that than a standard run-of-the-mill electric piano.

I like that there is something going on under the intro piano. I can't say what it is that's playing there.
