This is Ed's best vocal in a long long long time.

I think I agree. I need to go to Binaural to find something I like as much.

Eds voice sounds golden. So smooth and silky.

This is cranked up in my living room right now and its hitting the sweet spot. This should have been extended and closed the album

I love Lowlight, and I assume the band is aware of the connection there. This is the epic sequel and it works. It is almost like the band saying "You Fuckers, now do you get it?" I think it is wonderful.

It's cool that they used auto-tune thought, right?

The guitar solos still take me out of the song.

I felt that way on my first listen but not now.

I basically have only heard this record on headphones thus far. Yellow moon might do particularly well there, rising out of a closed space

This will be the name of Ed's third attempt at the song for album 11.

This one will be cool live. Don't they have this rising bird in their current stage set-up? Yellow Moon could open an encore while the bird rises or anything like this.

This. Feels like it could have easily gone on for another minute at least. I think almost the entire RM community is also on board that this song should have closed the album. After all of the listening party reviews I felt for sure that SBM should NOT be on the album, and while I still feel its out of place on the album, Future Days is by far the biggest waste of space...

Pendulum and Yellow Moon are the most similar in the fact that they are slower songs.

With that, I prefer Yellow Moon to Pendulum, even though they are both excellent.
