Nothing is what I expected it to be.
The chorus is one of the strongest melodies I have ever heard, period.
I mean in all of music.

Running and Something Special don't stand a chance following Upper Hand and WFS.

It's surprisingly a very strong song, didn't get hyped much from what I can remember. I liked it better than Upper Hand.

Something special isn’t as bad as the clip. DM and Running are by far the worst songs

Ed wrote more melodic hooks on this album than in any of the previous 11...so much ear candy from a melody standpoint. And so many great outros.

I think that's the advantage of a fan like Watt making the album.
