yup.... that motif is echoed right across the album. I think they've done an amazing job of creating a cohesive piece of work. I've only listened a couple of times through but already it seems to give so much more as a collection of songs. Hell... ETIAW sounds incredible here (we'll see about Paradise in time)

Last four songs..... fuck.... devastatingly awesome :smug:

It actually makes me a little sad because listening to No Distance Left To Run oooze with soul and honest emotion it's painfully clear what's missing from a lot of this new stuff, a little integrity, a bit of feeling. It's what people connected with in Parachutes and A Rush. So, when people moan a groan, its not that they want Trouble v.2 or The Scientist (Revisited). They want music, plain and simple, with soul and honesty. Something CP used to excel in. Not: I turn the music on, got my records on. Give me real, don't give me fake. Having said that, I actually really like this song ha, just that No Distance is so powerful it made me remember what music is all about.
