You know Stip is lying when his review is only one sentence long. Even imaginary songs warrant 3 paragraphs.
While a Western guitar motif lost on the swings drum bass fusion, get your own thoughts into the subconscious often forgotten. "Pendulum" is a sweeping soul from the ballast.

'Dirty' is a good way to describe these...to me they sound a bit like the rockers on Binaural (God's Dice for example)

Getting that feel as well. On first listen I don't think it's a terrible song, but it definitely showcases Ed's modern singing style that I can't stand.

I thought it ended a bit too suddenly.

Ok, so was this really a 4 (or 5)-song sampler, or is there more coming? Trying to plan out my day here . . . . .

I didn't love it on the first listen. I like it more on the second. Nice ending.

I'm at work so I'm listening through my shitty cue speaker in the studio. I'll burn to CD and listen to them in my car on the drive home too.

So far the comments sound like a sampler of the wind that just flew out my ass.

Is it a return to form?

I loved the Lighting Bolt live version. The studio version is even better. I fucking love it.
