Ltrp is a groovey little song. Matt sounds like he is hitting a little harder now.
I really like how busy mike and stone are on this one

Just the opposite. Nothing but glowing things to say about this one for me.
There's still too much stuff poured all over Future Days.
Having said that, as I've said before, the effects on the keyboard actually make it more tasteful than it could've been. There are some reversed notes which rise into the first chord, and there are notes played backwards underneath the intro and the outro. Add the reverb and some delay, and it sounds a little Sigur Ros-like. Not that good, clearly, but it's not just a Casio keyboard either. There's a bit of atmosphere there. I wish they'd utilised more of the violinist and less of the spacey keyboards in those choruses though.
I'll listen for it.
Oh boy, here comes sbm!

Without fail I smile and start tapping my feet and nodding my head when sbm starts
Mike is fine but stone, Jeff, and Matt are so tuned in to each other on this. Not sure all the background vocals are necessary, but eddies main vocal line is so good
The uke bit was a nice touch

I always forget...
There is no audio loss converting flac to wav, right?

Yeah, it's a great song. It was one of the more surprising tracks.

I still have to go all the way to vitalogy, I think, to find a vocal where Eddie sounds better than yellow moon.

Same tone as Hard Sun. Kinda.

Yellow moon just sounds like one of the most grown up songs in their catalog. Stately, dignified, mature, experienced, wise
So good.

The 'all the complexities and games / no one wins but somehow they're still played' lyric is pretty good.
The bridge is good

Bravo, stip. I feel like that was a message board performance for the ages.
