This is crazy, but I might be ready to say this is a five star song.

The keys at the start of this song are still hurting my ears in headphones. Ed's louder in this song too.

Yeah, until you hear that first acoustic guitar strum I think they are. I might be wrong.

This song is the first I've voted on since getting the FLAC. The live videos of the song kicking off Pittsburgh have lifted it up to the stratosphere so yeah I've just given it 5 stars.

I don't think im gonna watch any of the live videos that way if i get the songs live i will be surprised by what is going on in them. But i did read that mike uses a bow on this one.

This song isn't the one getting stuck in my head but i still can't stop thinking about it, right now infallible is in my head but while im hearing that im thinking about how cool pendulum is

I think Pendulum is much better than CC, personally. CC is probably better lyrically, but this one's so much more memorable; catchy in a good way.

I applied a little stereo widening to my mp3 of this. Makes the guitars at the end sound a lot more prominent.

it's definitely tighter and feels like more of a finished product than CC

Granted, that may not be what everyone's looking for.

i'm just looking for good music, and it's hard not to be enthusiastic about both pendulum and CC

who wrote this one?
