Agreed.

I'd like an album full of MFS's.
I just want an album full of Jeff and Stone co written songs
This. :thumbsup:

It's really strange to read the interviews in the latest edition of DEEP magazine and to see how much they were talking up MFS and how excited they were to play it... but then it disappears after 2 plays? Wtf?

Well, if they can't make it happen live, I'd rather them not play it. Maybe, they'll have another go at it when they're more confident.

Well, the song is about being crazy. And Ed is really enjoying his ill-advised (no pun intended) disability and sickness metaphors lately.

Just listened to this again, probably enjoyed it more than ever. It kicked ass, rather than just being like 'Yeah, I can see why people like this one.'
