I'm changing my vote to LTRP. It's a fun song, it's a different experiment. Sure, it probably should have been a b-side, but I'm feeling more than the other two. I enjoy the bridge, and kinda actually like what BoB did with Eddie's vocals for the song.

Plus, I love the line, "I've been down and I fell so hard and far from grace"

I feel like that's the most maturely self-aware line that Ed's ever written

Your misinterpretation of this line tells us all we need to know.

I think all the lyrics in the verses are deceptively great.

I wonder if we'll ever get any b-sides/unreleased full tracks from the LB sessions. Would be interesting to hear what (if anything) could have/should have taken its place.

Yellow Moon and Swallowed Whole would both benefit from better production and vocals. I think they have potential and along with Pendulum, inhabit an interesting thematic space. Having said that, they're not great songs as is.

Abstain.

I'm surprised, for some reason I would have thought this would be a Yellow Moon runaway.
