Now that more of us are hearing the boot, I thought a thread discussing the songs would be fun.

While I don't think I'll listen enough to do a song by song review, I am very impressed with how interesting these songs are. While they maintain a traditional structure for the most part, they always end up going places that I didn't expect. The section after the guitar solo of "Honest Man" is a good example of this, and those moments happen in almost all of the songs.

Can't wait to rock out to these songs tomorrow night!!

Sounds cool. I think I'm going to wait until the cd comes out to hear the songs first though and not download the bootleg (until after the release).

Have fun at the concert tomorrow!

Have a good time tomorrow!!!

where can one find the bootleg?

The Few, Nothin But Love, Closer, and All I Hear are probably my favorites that we hadn't heard yet.

Caboose, you mentioned it somewhere that you can not figure how Gracey plays..


CHECK HIM OUT! He is absolutely insane. Once again.

Thanks a lot

Tredecim
Closer
Guilty Fever
Honest Man
Appetit....ah shit I love them all

I cant help but hear sean connery over the begining of The Few, I think when the album is released a connery "remix" will have to be made haha

But yeah even in the poor quality I'm really digging it. The Few, Honest Man, Closer, Silly Thing .. they'd probably be my favorites so far. I'd actually probably say Guilty Fever is my least favorite. But still early days to judge. I love how just balls to the wall it sounds, pure rock ... the covers of Far Behind and Lakini's juice they did were awesome too. Just getting more and more excited about this album as each new bit of info comes along!

I hope to sway you when the album version of GF drops Poke!!!

I am so with you on a Connery - The Few outtake!!!!

haha well I was never convinced I'd love everything they do .. I like them much more than Ed at this stage but it doesn't mean everything they do is gonna be a winner in my eyes

I know, some of the later tracks in the concert need my ear on the album, i am not decided on them

Gonna skip over the tracks I heard before.

The Few: Awesome, love the change up after the chorus. Great, great song.

Far Behind: I'm a fan of Candlebox, though not a super fan, but I think this might be one of my favorite versions Far Behind. Love the kick up in the tempo. The drum behind it is great as well. Gracey really stands out on a lot of these tracks but I love what he's doing behind Sean's guitar in this one.

Guilty Fever: Love the base/drum rhythm but not a huge fan of KM that high up in his register.

Nothing but Love: I liked this song more then I thought I would now having heard the full version. Very cool song.

What's Wrong: A nice ballad, be a good song to relax too. Not my favorite of the tracks, though.

Silly Thing: This would make a good third single after appetite. Got a good sound, would get some play on rock and adult alternative.

The Rest of You: I'm not wild about this song. It's just ok for me.

Lakini's Juice: I'll admit I miss SS era Ed's growl on this song but I like the changes they put in it. Gracey again is a standout.

Closer: My favorite of the "new" stuff. Bad fucking ass.

Cryin Time: Great song. My favorite of the "ballad" songs (though it really isn't a traditional ballad).

All I Hear: A great concert song. Gonna be a blast to hear in person.

Sing: Hearing this song I'm reminded of my friend's former band. They wrote this one song they never gave a title to, but it just felt like a song that was meant to end concerts. Sing strikes me the same way. Once everyone knows the lyrics I imagine the audience will carry the song out at a lot of venues.

Nice write up IP, I'll get to mine after a few more listens.
