Since Mike is a friend to everyone in the band, and they witnessed his struggles and everything else, I'm sure the guys in the band thought the song was far more impactful then it actually ended up being.

And yeah, I think this. Plus, Ed and everyone else in the band have had their share of lyrical clunkers. I would probably put Inside Job near the bottom of the pile in terms of lyrics they've put out, but I don't necessarily believe that Ed and the band would think the same.

Inside job is the musical equivalent of telling other people stories about your kids.

No. It's just something a 14 year old would write.

I like Inside Job

"Inside Job" is the musical equivalent of the weird stuff your aging hippie uncle you kind of feel sorry for says before nodding off

Also, has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

I thought that was Evacuation?

I love "Evacuation". Love it hard.

Django Butterworth · **Posted:** Mon July 06, 2015 10:22 pm

Man, that explains so much...

Norris · **Posted:** Mon July 06, 2015 10:25 pm

Evacuation is fantastic.

Evacuation is a pretty great song.

Django Butterworth · **Posted:** Mon July 06, 2015 10:34 pm

Sure it is.

LoathedVermin72 · **Posted:** Mon July 06, 2015 10:40 pm

It is.

Django Butterworth · **Posted:** Mon July 06, 2015 10:43 pm

I don't know, it was still pretty crappy last time I listened to it.

Norris · **Posted:** Mon July 06, 2015 10:44 pm

But it made the record!

LoathedVermin72 · **Posted:** Mon July 06, 2015 10:45 pm

"Evacuation" is better than any song off the last three albums.

They were certainly aiming high with Inside Job. It sounds like it was intended to be a major piece. It's placement on the record concurs. They fell short. There are some moments within the song that are quite nice but ultimately when I hear it I'm left unmoved. It's not a song I have ever put on.

But at least they tried. Over the last two records there hasn't been a song with that aim (excepting maybe Lightning Bolt which also falls short). Sirens tries for the emotional punch and it too sounds rather forced.

Django Butterworth · **Posted:** Mon July 06, 2015 10:55 pm

It sure did!

Probably because they felt sorry fo Matt.
