I wish upper hand stayed slow and groovy. Didn't need to speed up. But kind of won over by it as it ends.

As one of the biggest haters of the 30 second slip, I'll fully admit it sounds better as a whole. Lyrics are pure cheese but Ed's delivery it actually great. Something about this one screamed Beatles to me, not sure why....I still find it to be the weakest track on DM (after one full listen).

Gonna resist temptation and wait for proper release on Friday to hear this baby with good speakers/headphones. Only another day now, Wreckage will tide me over. What an f'ing song

It has an insane S Tier EV melody when he sings 'cos my heart it aches and it breaks but I believe' but the rest is a bit left wanted.

It's interesting that they've chosen to 'soften' the sound of the guitars on Waiting for Stevie. They could have been both harsher, louder, more grungy crunchy. Part me wanted that, so it truly sounds like old Pearl Jam, but what they've done here works great too.
