    I like Gone more than Parachutes on the record.
    Live Parachutes is pretty nice.

    I do like Parachutes but I think it would be more effective on a Ed solo album.

    Why not on a Stone solo album..?

    That's how I feel about it too. It's also my favourite post-yield album. I especially identify with some of the lyrics (even though they don't really apply to my situation) in gone and wasted reprise. I played those songs alot when I was leaving my post university almost min. wage job and moving away to try and and improve my situation.

    this is a stellar album start to finish in my opinion. everyone has their favorite songs or whatever but as a body of work it is truly a classic. i don't know of many other bands you can even listen to all the tracks of most albums. great tour as well in 06'. lucky to catch 4 shows. sf pitts and both toronto shows.

    solo Gone should have made the record instead of the full band version

    I think this is the third thing in an hour where I've agreed with you on here. The solo version from the debut is so much better than the studio version. The studio version feels forced to me. Like they tried too hard to make it have that big, anthemic chorus.

    I have such a love/hate relationship with Gone. It's probably my least favorite album track. Musically and melody wise...it's great. Lyrically and production wise...train wreck.

    You mean Sleeping by Myself, or speed of sound :)

    Gone works either way.

    The same will be said of LB in a few years. I remember people hating Pendulum as a opener,it will go down as a great on that album.

    I liked it when it first came out.
    I like it a lot more now.
    Songs I didn't quite "get" at first (Army Reserve, Unemployable) are now some of my favorites. Funny how that works.
    Second the notion that Big Wave is weirdly out of place.
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get
    for the least they could possibly do

    Life Wasted in being quoted as Great, or as a Great PJ song. Really? That song blows!
