Best case, of course I'm hoping for pretty straight "powerful and awesome." Realistically, I think I'll be happy if it manages to take some from Column A and some from Column B.

I guess FoN is kinda power ballady too? Bleurgh.

I'm worried about this being Inside Job more than FoN. Before Inside Job came out, people were saying it was 'like Black', a totally epic rock ballad, Mike is God. Etc. etc. We also had comparisons with Pink Floyd, to top it all off. So far, this is history repeating, so either he's got everything right this time, or it's the same again. But I agree with you; Black is totally a power ballad. But it has melancholy to counteract the cheese. Inside Job doesn't really.

Inside Job got botched. Between the lyrics (Sorry Mike) and the crap production, the song is a dud. With better lyrical treatment and any type of production that doesn't sound like it's from inside a tin can (I guess that's what Inside Job really means), the song could be powerful. It could be pink floyd-esque.

Here's hoping Sirens is actually what Inside Job was trying to be.

I think Stip posted it in the "Reviews" thread.

Edit: just checked and he didn't! shame

Back to the fadeouts conversation, eh? No, they don't bother me too much. Rival's about the only one that I wish they'd let end naturally. And, that's only because I can't get enough of that crazy carnival music.
