THis is a pretty awesome song. Not surprised to see in the actual booklet it's a Jeff song.

Im pretty sure that when all is said and done, the 4 Jeff songs will be my favorites (3 are already at the top) MFS, Infallible, Pendulum and Yellow Moon

It's been a few days since I've listened, but the last 3 times I heard it all it did was make me want to listen to Low Light and Riot Act.

I dont know if its better than low light, and it would sound better if it was done round riot act no doubt, but im still finding this song okay.

It just depends whether, on the day, i'm prepared not to mind the solos and such.

Mike has a solo that has a similar feel and extremely similar tone to Low Light, and there's a moment in there that is incredibly similar to the fade out portion of LL....I think it's right before the last chorus. Mike's kind of Miking over the top, but other than that its totes there.

Those were the parts that made me think about Low Light and how much stronger a track it is. The rest is what directed my mind towards 2000-2002.
