Song of the Moment: Mind Your Manners

[Boing]

Love it, Reminds me a little of some early Queen songs especially the bridge.

[evenslow]

Also, there's plenty of room for songs with "space" on ALL THE OTHER TRACKS ON THE ALBUM.

Anyone that starts off any review of anything with "I was hoping..." should be immediately disregarded. It's the laziest form of criticism. Judge it on the merits and the artist's intentions, not what you wanted it to be.

i was hoping for a sax solo

[harmless]

I think the best thing I could say about this song is that it finally achieves what Ed has been wanting to: it's a fully-fledged punk song. All of his punk efforts have been almost there so far but not quite hitting the spot. I'm not the biggest punk fan in the world, but this seems authentic to me like nothing on Backspacer or S/T really did.

[Monkey_Driven]

This sounds like it should be on the soundtrack of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3. That is not a bad thing.

[dimejinky99]

Just what I was afraid of. Men pushing fifty thinking they're in their teens. It's cringey right now. Hope it'll grow on me.

Ps- drums. Sound. Awful.

A-fucking-men

Except for the Star Wars prequels. Fuck the artist's intention there. They blew.

[Chris_H_2]

So basically, MYM sounds like Pearl Jam, which is precisely what I didn't want.

Strange thing to say... because we all have different interpretations of what PJ should sound like.

It's not a matter of should sound like, but rather what they have sounded like for over 20 years, which leaves nothing to interpret. This sounds exactly same.

[Thejambi]

Music is tight. Ed sounds great. Lots of open high hat . What I can make of the lyrics sound good.

[Heathen]

This sounds like it should be on the soundtrack of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3. That is not a bad thing.

actually when that shitty youtube video came out I thought it reminded me of something from the THPS 2 soundtrack, especially the bridge, couldn't find which one though

[evenslow]

harmless let's get a full-song drum review.

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

Also, there's plenty of room for songs with "space" on ALL THE OTHER TRACKS ON THE ALBUM.

Yep, It could be the only fast song on the album, i like it and am excited to see what the rest of the album brings

[Farmer John]

I second whoever it was who said the bridge into the solo is great. That's the best part of the song. That's the moment that really clinches this song for me. Nothing in the world beats a good bridge.

I love that part too. I'd call it more of a 'second chorus' since they repeat it again. Or is the "mind your manners" part the pre-chorus? I need to know!

[Strat]

Just what I was afraid of. Men pushing fifty thinking they're in their teens. It's cringey right now. Hope it'll grow on me.

Ps- drums. Sound. Awful.

I do not understand you. backspacer was mostly all that.

[broken iris]

Lyrics? I am at work and cannot listen

[Jaeti]

Also, there's plenty of room for songs with "space" on ALL THE OTHER TRACKS ON THE ALBUM.

And I'll be hoping for some.

[stip]

The intro, bridge (or second chorus), solo, and outro are great


The main riff is fine, but it's pretty familiar.

I like Eddie's screech at the end, and there is more low end than we've heard from him in a while. I wonder if they tried takes where he was a bit more aggressive in his vocals.

[EJ]

This is getting better the more I listen to it. Very good lead single. Doesn't sound at all like old men trying to attempt something they shouldn't.

[Chris_H_2]

This is definitely an amalgam of STBC and Comatose.
