Totally, I get that. For me it's the lyrics that really separate it. Faithfull has great lyrics as well, but In Hiding speaks much more to my own personal experience. I also just adore Ed's vocals (sorry stip).
Ed's voice is okay on In Hiding.

Faithful - issues with vocal. good lyrics
In Hiding - issues with lyrics. good vocals

I'm mean overall the No Code - Binaural run is the period of Ed's vocals I like the least. It's the nasal Neil Young period. But it's always still Ed. This is a building that starts with a 12th story basement

There is a writer who attended the London preview and put his hour-long thoughts behind a pay wall on Patreon. In the 5 minute preview he was so obnoxious I decided I did not care enough.

I just really thought you had beef with In Hiding specifically. I'm glad I'm wrong about that.

In Hiding is one of those songs that needs to be retired from their live shows. Ed just can't do it anymore.
