I wouldn't listen to PT if the payoff with the second half of the song didn't exist. Its beautiful.

I dislike ed's voice on Around the Bend, it might be the most nasal he's ever sounded. But i really love the song.
I hate eds voice on the chorus on Army Reserve, it sounds like he's trying to sing while someone else is trying to strangle him.
I really like the music and chorus on Bushleaguer, so while i don't mind the spoken word tirade against bush i find it unfortunate that it on this song.
I think the last thing I watched that made me remember the PJ I knew and loved was that fairly recent Ed solo dvd. Or rather, not in terms of the music but just the whole atmosphere and what it felt like to be a fan.stip wrote:this is where they started to lose me for a while.

Coming out of the first chorus.....the guitars doing that "we're really drunk guitars putting down a random dumb, wobbly sound for your listening pleasure" kinda thing.
No. The song is great with both halves. The outro is the best, but it belongs right where it is, following what comes before. Genius song.doone wrote:So some people like the first half of Present Tense but not the second (I'm in this camp) while others like the second half but not the first bit.
Perhaps we can agree that they just don't seem to belong together?
