Got locked in on Sing there...could of edited but fuck it. Just wanted to add that no matter how much I listen, I can't even begin to like TROY or Silly Thing. /They don't fit on this album in my opinion and I have no love for them watsoever. They both remind me of songs 311 or Matchbox 20 might have made and I really dislike both of those bands.

Sorry to anybody who likes those two songs, but I just feel they detract from this album quite severely. They change the flow in a negative poppy kind of way and just don't fit to me.

I think everyone is going to have the album hit them in different ways. The way you feel about TROY and Silly Things, I kind of feel about What's Wrong. That's not to say I don't like What's Wrong, I do. But it had that familiar pop radio feel to me. And considering how starved we are for something here in NY that isn't either pop radio or classic rock, it's a very familiar feeling.

What's Wrong is not a song I go back to repeatedly, but it's a song that just makes me think about sitting somewhere watching a sunset. Maybe on top of a hill or on a bridge... somewhere vast or open.

I think it's a song that is more about trying to capture a particular moment more than it is about trying to be terribly original or whatnot. Not necessarily in sound, but the song reminds me of something Counting Crows might write. Their songs had that feel about them.

I think it's more your perception of the song than it is the song itself. You may just need to listen to it in a different context than what you've been listening to it in.

Just to be clear. I love the song, just like I love the entire album. My post was more about how the songs hit different people in different ways.

One of the big things I love about this album is that it isn't all at one speed. I enjoy the change-of-pace and the fact that even the slower songs have a complexity to them that has me hearing something new every time I listen to them.

And I listen to all of them.......a lot...... lol.gif
