what about sirens?

it makes sense both were included on the record given ed's enthusiasm for abortions

Which do you find worse? I think its Sirens by just a bit, but Future Days is so so bad too...

please, don't make me think about either

Any reviewer worth his salt would give the album at least 3 spins.

Nah, man. "Go".

This is actually the reason I find Porch kind of boring. It's just an excuse for a minute-long solo.

Earthless probably aren't your thing, huh:

Semen in a bottle.

i'm gonna skip to future days to weigh in, i sort of forget it from the itunes listen.

Are you guys forgetting the awfulness of Let The Records Play?

He is non existent to me on the record.

Must make note of my love of his work in yellow moon. It's controlled and extremely melodic. My favorite work since his I AM MINE solo.

this is exactly the kind of solo i can't stand

Yeah, I've come to like the yellow moon solos

I'm not a solo fan, but... All or None.

Seriously, they're nothing special at all
Only redeeming factor is the chorus lyrics changing up, I find that an interesting song-writing technique

The lyrics are mediocre on this one. Cliches abound (ship sinking, slipping through hands, all good things come to an end, hearts and minds). Mostly though I dislike the vocal delivery during the chorus. Too over-the-top. Vocally and lyrically, only the bookends work for me.

I really like the MYM solo, does exactly what it sets out to do

getaway is enjoyable, still like it a good bit

I wasn't a fan a big fan of his solos on this album either. But he did pretty nice work on MYM and Swallowed Whole.

at least three songs have already achieved "must-skip" status: mind your manners, sirens, future days

sirens is so good. Its so bad but its so good.
