Big opener. All the ambiance is there. Nice piano. Bass funky, not jazzy. Harmonies Big chorus. And guitars. Good guitars. Very dramatic. Extended guitar solo.
They haven't been this direct in years. Nice change from the last 2 records.
Steady piano intro. Again, bass is based in funk. Mid paced, then crashes of piano and guitar chords into the chorus. Slide guitar weaves in and out. Another entended guitar sole. Nice. Piano and guitar playing same solo. Good harmonies as the solo crashes.
Big drum beat. Another piano pattern. Steady guitar chords build. Faster song. Urgent. Guitars take over. Big high note solo. Drop out. Singer sings about birds, and the guitar player does an Edge type "sea gull" guitar sound. Sounds like Doves. Beat driven strum rock.
Big Spector like drums and beat. A musical Beach Boys tribute. There's an REM song like this? Twang arpeggios. Another guitar solo. Strings and high vocals for a GREAT bridge.
Building ensembel of drums and piano and guitar treatments. Snappy beat. Ahhhh! it turns around into a great rolling chorus wih screaching guitars. Nice, the chorus is uplifting, and they're rolling with it. Going up a full step for the final chorus, that old trick!
Piano intro. Quite. Nice vocal chorus. Great vocal melody. A slide guitar moves in and out. Reminding me of the 2nd 1/2 of Layla. Counter melody vocals. That's what it is. Mercury Rev doing the 2nd 1/2 of Layla by Eric Clapton.
