eh not to rain on the parade or anything, but I've been listening to the track on and off all day and I'm actually inclined to *kind of* agree with Nick. instead of growing on me I actually have found it kind of boring already which is strange. I do see what he means by the verses being pretty great, I love the bass on them, and the song does kick into gear at the breakdown where KM is howling. But the chorus doesn't quite have the kick it needs, I don't know if I really like the term "crying time", it's like another song by a band I really can't remember that used the words "dying time" ... the imagery of there being a designated time to cry or die doesn't quite fit right. I know that's probably being a bit pedantic, but just not a fan of the way the term is used. I liked Nick Cave's "the weeping song" title better, as in a song to weep or cry to, not a specific time.

However, unlike Nick this is based purely on my taste, not what would make a great radio single or what will appeal to the masses to maximise sales or song length or whatever bullshit is thrown about. Hopefully it'll grow in me more but I'll put Honest Man, Tredecim and Appetite above this so far.

Damn that Zeppelin is brilliant. That clip makes me ask myself whether Live is my favorite band. Page and Plant together were unparelleled magic. Who could rivet you to his guitar like Page? Just wow.

Anyhow, Crying Time is excellent. I love the song and it reveals itself more and more every new time that you listen to it.

Nick, your posts on this message board have now become the turd in the punchbowl. You are like the character Dr. Evil on Austin Powers. You're a caricature of what you think you are. It's gone past irritating to just funny. I could take you seriously and even possibly consider what you state, if you demonstrated even the slightest bit of deviation from your unwavering, unidirectional, unconditionally-blind, loyalist. monotone drumbeat of Ed-centric promotion, and self-congratulatory, half-assed music industry knowledge.
