I do wish the climax before the outro verse (which I like) could be a bit louder.


This is a really good song. I think I ended up liking this more than pendulum

i quite like it (second listen). i have no idea how Incubus sounds and i guess that's a good thing. i don't mind the chorus and the cowbell. i mean, i like them.

I keep hearing the change in the chorus moving into cold confession.

keep on locking your doors
keep on building your floors
keep on just as before

pay disasters no mind
didn't get you this time
no friends left at the crime

Our ship's come in and it's sinking

Of everything that's possible, in the hearts and minds of men
somehow it is the biggest things that keep on slipping right through our hands
By thinking we're infallible, we are tempting fate instead
Time we best begin, here at the ending

want a third second chance
put your faith in big hands
pay no more than a glance

all good things come to an end,
this could be good as it gets,
hows the view from the fence?

You think we've been here before,
you are mistaken

Of everything that's possible, in the hearts and minds of men
when progress could be plausible in the verse we curse ourselves
By thinking we're infallible, we are tempting fate instead
Time we best begin, here at the ending

Of everything that's possible, in the hearts and minds of men
somehow it is the biggest things that keep on slipping right through our hands
by thinking we're infallible, we are tempting fate instead


Time we best begin, here at the ending
here at the ending

keep on locking your doors
keep on building your floors
keep on just as before

Fantastic verses-- a little weak in the chorus, but it's not a "Marker in the Sand"-size capitulation.

This may be the only song on here that feels like it belongs with Sirens.

The high notes Ed reaches on this song are nice.

That little Mike guitar break/instrumental bridge sounds *far* too small. The song should explode at that point.



I disagree, I think it simmers quite nicely; it's got a ghostly vibe I dig a lot.

Love it. Exactly what I'm looking for from this band at this point.

Fills me with sense memories of standing next to the shitty little toy section at Hy Vee, hoping my son will get distracted by something so I can move on to the frozen pizzas.

This chorus becomes much better when you stop needing it to be dark. It's got a "Whiter Shade of Pale" feel to it.

This song pisses me off. It's my own fault. I thought it would be almost the complete opposite of what it is after hearing the sound check.

yup. I went for it on the second listen and it was great. There were a few songs on this album that required me to abandon my preconceptions of what they should sound like. That's unusual. Not sure what it means.

Well I don't know what'll happen in the long-term, but at the very least it means the listen was surprising and even exciting. The big question for me is whether the whole thing can be assimilated into the PJ catalogue, or whether it's a good album by a different band.

I don't think it's a bad chorus, or the wrong tone....just a little uninteresting sonically compared with those crazy-good verses.

Yeah.

This chorus actually does sound like elton john. :shock:

Its like LTRP, with the decent verses and boner-killer chorus. Except this chorus is killing an even bigger boner.
That last chorus whatever reminds me of god gave rock and roll to you :throwup:

I will say on my second listen the chorus sounds more at home.

Fair enough. I think it's all interesting, just hardly all in the same way.

I think this is the closest style Eddie has gotten to sounding like Christina Aguilera. Talk about experimental.
