If not too heavy handed there's nothing wrong with that sentiment. That's basically what given to fly is about. And the New Testament

And Love Boat Captain.

yeah, but I'm trying to make him feel good about it

I wish I could say any of this tracklist feels like anything, but I'm still open to getting everything I thought wrong so whatever. For me, that's it for the speculation until we know more.

At least I won't have to skip Future Days. well done PJ

The thing about sentimentality is, however horrible it sounds, it's usually not wrong.

How much faith do you have in ed not being heavy handed though

Future Days is guaranteed to be their worst album closer.

Why did someone wipe Inside Job from existence?

It won't be worse than Inside Job.

Even now, he's still not as bad as Bono.

ok, so..
pendulum = undone II
getaway = of the girl II
my father's son = alive II
let the records play = spin the black circle II
lightning bolt = unthought known II
swallowed whole = unthought known III
sleeping by myself = sleeping by myself II
future days = just breathe II

FD is The End II.

nah, i like inside job. future days is worse. so much worse. plus it's ed and bo'b cheese. mike cheese is more forgivable because he's not a professional lyricist. not that i really hate the inside job lyrics or anything.

Probably why i don't listen to much U2 then.

i guess it kind of is. rather than having an "unknown future" he's singing about having a sure future. the former is much more interesting. it's the boring, pointless follow up with extra cheese stuffed in the crust.

He's not a professional lyricist until he writes lyrics for a professional band, they put them on an album, and he takes home a handsome cut of the earnings for it. And then he is a professional lyricist, just a shit one.

The end is speed of sound 2. or vice versa.

Lyrically anyway. Dying dude, pondering on life, i think the narrator dies att the end of both of em too.

Ed has always self-referenced. I'm OK with it. I'd rather that than him trying to write something with a new subject. Johnny Guitar is the furthest he got.

I don't get what why everyone is splooshing over that. Its just ambient noise. It will be a nice lead in to one of these tracks I'm thinking, maybe Sirens. If it is included, it will be a good sign for this album because its nowhere near cheesy sounding enough to fit on backspacer and sounded like it had too much depth for Avocado.

and i don't want him to go there again. jg was awful. much worse than inside job.
