Never Destination

[Release_Me]

This is probably in the bottom two for me with SBWM but I still enjoy it. That is why this is such a great album, the weakest songs aren't even bad.

[Ms Harmless]

the last part is the best part, yes, I wish it was longer

[Ms Harmless]

there's some "Antichrist Television Blues" by Arcade Fire in this

[stip]

yeah i hear that. good catch

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

On my 2nd listen i found myself thinking that they dont need to play arms aloft anymore. I havent listened to arms aloft recently to see if they actually are similar but its the song that kept popping into my head

[Farmer John]

There's kind of an Antichrist Television Blues style on a few of these songs. That wordier, Subterranean Homesick Blues kind of thing. Where the lyrics keep coming a mile a minute, and it just keeps going.

someone (kevin davis?) noted that wordier songs may be easier for ed to sing than songs with fewer lyrics and sustained notes. that’s when his vowel affectations pop up

[Ms Harmless]

the shuffly drum groove and the vocal delivery reminds me of "Satan's Bed" - "it's all been said, been said and done!"

this one keeps climbing for me

[Ms Harmless]

the bridge is actually quite Vitalogy

[7 Years and Maybe Longer]

This song should be getting more love.

When I first heard that little Tom Petty bit near the end, I teared up. Ed has so obviously lifted the melody directly from "Listen To Her Heart", and yet it still fits perfectly and doesn't seem out of place. It's a lovely little tribute.

Ed is going to have fun with this one at the live shows.

I'm on board with this. I'm a big Tom fan and it's still hard to fathom that he is gone. The ode to him at the end of the song is a great tribute. Plus the song sounds great to these ears.

[Fattie_Vedder]

this sounds more and more like a combination of "Brain of J" and "MFC", and I'm so surprised to be saying that

Hmmm I can see that. MFC for the style and sound, BOJ for the “chunkiness” and warmth of the guitars. It’s got the flowing looseness of MFC with the sharper, harder edges of BOJ.

yes

Late to the party.
I'm digging this one. Guitar sounds a bit like Footsteps.

The sound on this album is what I hoped for. Delicious.

[DeeDee]

Nice tribute to Tom Petty in the end of the song.

[evenslow]

this song is a blast.

[stip]

who does he think after Mudhoney?

I really want these lyrics.

[Johnny Turner]

Isn't the main chords the same from the beginning of Lightning Bolt chorus? And the bridge reminds me from U. And Eddie vocal melody on verses is something close from what he does in Slow Night So Long with Kings of Leon.

Anyway, fun track and the last half is good good.

[Ms Harmless]

one of the reasons this works so well is that Ed leaves some spaces

[BenHoward]

haven't listened to the song but did just listen to the clip they released. i've just assumed, based on the descriptions, that this and take the long way were to be my lease favorites. i read "post-punk rocker" and thought "supersonic". i have no idea what part of the song the 15 second clip is, but it sounds nothing like supersonic to me and my fear is assuaged.

[Birds in Hell]

You know, I really like this one.
