Can you do me a solid?

My Father's Son isn't just the best song on this album. It's one of their best ever. I could see it on anyone's top 10 list or something, and I'd totally understand. Holy shit it's amazing. That alone makes this album special, and ranks it above their past 2-3 for me.

Unfortunately I'll be out of the house for the next 7 or 8 hours, so probably not for a while.

The only reason that I haven't used the word "amazing" for MFS is that it sounds very like Incubus to me, and I think they've done it better.

Album hurtles off a cliff after that.

Oh well, it's fun while it lasts.

I love Sirens but I really don't get why it's track 4.

Neil sits around in his room listening to his favorite radio channel where Getaway, Mind Your Manners and My Father's Son just played when suddenly Brendan O'Brien enters the room. "Hey Neil, let me change the channel. There's a really good and emotional hit-single playing on the adult-station." Brendan changes the channel without waiting for a reaction.

Heaaar Thuh Sirens

As soon as I'm done feeling like Neil in this scenario after the shock of the transition wore off I'm enjoying Sirens.

Funny this came up. I liked it the other night when I first heard it, thought it was bad ass. But it hit me over the head on the way home, now I fucking love it. The streamed version sounds edited though, maybe?
