I like this song more every time I hear it. It just really gets off to a rocky start with a few weak lines from Eddie.

I still enjoy the chorus and any part of the song where the band get to let loose.

Man, that verse, though. It's just horrific in its gaudy, pseudo-inspirational, calculated lightness. Why they insist on returning to repeatedly plough that furrow (Unthought Known, chorus of Marker, etc), I'll never know.

All of them; Ed's vocal melody and the overall musical feel really don't work for me at all.

I'm with you in regards to the chorus, however. I don't see anything wrong with it.

I'm basically the opposite of this.

I think it's bc with the build of the verses it's leading somewhere special and then it's just Lightning Booolt. Anti-climactic but we'll see on record.

People sure seem to love songs that "build", huh?

In a general sense, I don't think I do. It so often strikes me as kind of...artificial.

Gentleman's prediction: On record it'll be the exact damn same thing, just in clearer sound quality.

Actually, manipulative is probably a more accurate description of what I'm trying to describe.
