Don't get me wrong. I think CC sucks. But the words were way more crafted. Ed probably wrote this while Johnny Guitar was starin' at him.

I really like it. But, My Father's Son is my favorite song on the album.

This song is absolutely incredible. I said yesterday that it paled in comparison to Strangest Tribe. I take that back. The vocal melody just hadn't set in for me.

And then last night I watched the movie Gravity. I went home and watched the trailer for Gravity on mute, with Pendulum playing from the very beginning.

If any of you are interested in doing this I highly recommend it, it provides some amazing imagery for Pendulum. This song could be an amazing song on a soundtrack.



Ok, so start Pendulum at the exact same time the trailer starts, have your headphones on, and watch the magic. The lyrics even go well with it. The song is too long for the trailer, so I just rewind and watch the end again along with the end of the song.

Trust me. Do this guys! It's works amazingly well with it.

Is Jeff playing Pendulum in his Vignette? Not the whole time but near the end?

I kind of want this to turn into a half-tempo doom metal jam.

I kind of like this song in an aesthetic sense, there's a lot of elements there that I've wanted the band to rely on more, but it doesn't really hang together as a compelling song for me (though I still think it's probably the third best song on the album).
