cold confession - 5/5
mind your manners - 3/5
olé - 1/5
lightning bolt - 3/5
of the earth - 3/5
future days - 3/5
let it ride - 4/5

cold confession - 3.5/5
mind your manners - 4/5
olé - 3.5/5
of the earth - 3/5
let it ride - 4/5

I'm not gonna rank Lightning Bolt or Future Days because I've only heard them each once. I'll wait for a studio version.

Cold confessor giving Cold Confession 5/5.

Well, I mean, it's his/her namesake for a reason.

cold confession - 5/5
mind your manners - 3.75/5
olé - 2.5/5
of the earth - 2.5/5
let it ride - 3/5
Lighting Bolt - 3.5/5 (potential to rise)
Future Days - 2.75/5 (potential to rise)

Rating what we've heard in terms of recent songs (I forget if I did this)

Cold Confession: 5
MYM: 4
Let it Ride: 3
Ole: 2 (maybe 2.5--I do really like the ending)
Of the Earth: 3.5 (doesn't cohere together as much as I might like but this song has potentail)
Lightning Bolt: 3 so far but I expect this to go up
Future Days: 2.5 (also expect this to go up)

stip, go back and read my bees theory and then revise your score for "Of the Earth"

Cold Confession: 5
MYM: 4
Let it Ride: 3
Ole: 2 (maybe 2.5--I do really like the ending)
Of the Earth: 5/5 This song is a thematic tour de force. Subtle in places, but coming together in magnificently understated ways that, once you make the connections, will leave you breathless)
Lightning Bolt: 3 so far but I expect this to go up
Future Days: 2.5 (also expect this to go up

Of The Earth is very The Who. I love it. Hope it's on the album

If MYM, LIR, CC, OTE are all on the same record, LB could be the best album since Yield

I don't think any of them (bar MYM obviously) will be on the new record.

That would be da bomb, but yeah I think its unlikely.

And Binaural and Riot Act would still probably be better.

I cannae wait for 2016. ST remixed with a full bonus disc of outakes including this gem.

A couple of tweaks on the lyrics after a few listens:


He scared himself, into a trance
Took him down river, secretly
He floated out, into the ocean
of his worst dream, of his rough sea
of all the men he could trust
he was not one of them, always hurting himself
the scars unseen, the wounds untold
whatever time had healed, it still took hold
A life washed away, like words in the sand
and when the high tide came, so went his plan
a troubled past, a troubled future
a troubled weight leaning on a bar stool
one strobe-like star, he finally saw
navigation towards a brand new course
but to himself the memory clear
cold confession only, that only he could hear

He let himself scream, he let himself cry
let himself reach the other side
there was no christ, there was no cross
just forgiveness, allowed himself
accepted the past, then set it free
oh and it ran off like an animal released
he holds the proof, he holds their star
in his pure arms, in his clear heart
He's safe now, he's back in her breast
he saw his path, and changed it, chased it, at last

How in the hell could you possibly rate Ole on the same level as Cold Confession?

But I agree about Let It Ride - dang its good.

BUMP

This song is really great.

I look forward to seeing how these do in march madness this year

Me too. In the meantime, stip, I'm going to use this thread as a safe haven from all the lengthy arguing going on in the rest of PJ chat.
