If you were hoping that yesterday would be the day that Ed was going to change his ways and return to his roots and find the mojo he had in the 90's, then yesterday was not your day, and I am not sure that hope springs eternal any longer.

I think that the song actually sounds really good for the kind of song it is - which is the kind of song he tried to fill Awake with. In fact, I like the sound of that better than most of Awake. But it sounds like the vocals are drowned out with a chorus of voices, like the chorus of Eds on SFBM. Way over produced, especially on the vocals, which is unfortunate because I always thought that the raw sound of Ed's voice is what makes it shine. That is why the early albums sounded so good vocally, and why Ed shines in those acoustic shows.

But it is NOT my kind of music and that is nowhere close to what Live was or is. If I haven't mentioned today how happy I am to have Chris Shinn as the lead singer of Live, let me state that emphatically right now.
