It wouldn't hurt if any of these sound guys gave Chris a little reverb. Those board mixes from the live things like the Today show are always pretty grim. Reeaally dry. I'm sure it'll be better once they're on the road with their own gear and soundmen.

I totally agree with the MBV reference. It's kinda funny actually. As soon as that song starts it's like it's 1991 all over again. I go straight back to my sophomore year of college. Oh the girls, the music, and everything else:dozey:

Well, it took about 4 listens to come to really appreciate this album. I actually searched a bunch of reviews of the album before listening to it. It seems the critics all like to bag the boys for creating music that a listener can sing to the rafters at the top of his or her lungs. But this is exactly what I love about this band. Huge melodies that just sound and feel great. This album is a bit more subdued on that front but they're still there (Chorus on Lost, most of Lovers, Chorus on VH). My only beef is that there is almost no real ripping guitar. It's melodic but not very present, That and Will took a serious back seat to a drum machine and tablas. Overall, pretty good though.

Top song on the album! Perfect round, open melody in the chorus to compliment the tighter verse part. Plus "waiting til the shine wears off" is a nice little tidbit of lyric.
