And now it's:

Pendulum
Swallowed Whole
My Father's Son
Sleeping By Myself


Getaway
Mind Your Manners
Infallible
Lightning Bolt
Yellow Moon
Future Days
Let The Records Play
Sirens

The gap between the top 4 and the rest is growing.

I wonder if the live versions of these songs will alter some peoples ranks

I think the live version of "Infallible" is gonna piss some people off that it doesn't sound like that on the album.

I assume it'll be heavier?

Yup, quite a bit more hard rock and less funky. The chorus is still the chorus but that bridge bit with Mike's rising guitar notes is heavier.

As things stand....


Swallowed Whole
Mind Your Manners
Getaway
Pendulum
Sirens
Lightning Bolt
My Father's Son
Infallible
Let the Records Play
Sleeping By Myself
Future Days
Yellow Moon (sorry)

Day 2:

Getaway, Sirens, Pendulum

Infallible, Sleeping by Myself, Future Days, Lightning Bolt.

MFS, MYM, Swallowed Whole

LTRP, Yellow Moon.

The big drop off at the moment for me is between the first three groups and the last one.

Don't apologise. Let your hate for Yellow Moon grow and join me on the dark side (of the Yellow Moon).

I'm sure it's one of those ones that I'm going to listen to one day and it'll all click, but until that happens I'm just not getting it. Putting it below Future Days speaks volumes as an insult to it, too.

You guys aren't liking yellow moon? Anything specific turning you off about it ?

It's boring, doesn't go anywhere, and relies too heavily on Ed's awful modern idiosyncrasies.

wrong, that's okay in this song (of a girl doesn't go anywhere either), and especially wrong

Cold Confession doesn't really go anywhere either, at least not for 50% of the song.

Moral of the story; if you like it, it doesn't matter whether it goes anywhere or not. I personally think the bridge takes it somewhere sublime, and so do the solos. But otherwise it's a pretty downbeat, morose song that's meant to stay a little below anthemic.

Agreed. Yellow Moon is fantastic.

of a girl?

I don't think its boring, but i said after the first listening party reviews that i tend to love what most seem to think is boring, so this must be another one of those. Awesome song
