I sure hope the rest of the album is better than these first two singles. Long Way isn't too terribly bad musically, but that chorus. Just ugh. "S/he took the long way on the freeway." Say it out loud in normal sentence cadence without singing it in tune. It just sounds... lazy and dumb.
The Haves just sounds whiny and gives me no desire to listen to it ever again. Like it's not even meh status. I just want to take the long way on the freeway and leave it behind.

Both songs are too repetitive and way too long.
unfortunately you are 100% correct. I had my wife right on the fence to love eddie songs, then the long way hits itunes. Ugg, that chorus is so brutal. Really surprising actually. Not that I can do better but we are talking about one of the best. How is it that nobody inside says hey, you need to change this line?
Stoked about the tour! Chicago looks tempting, saw EV solo there at the Auditorium Theater back in 2008 to close out the first tour. Great venue, great sound, will be off the chain good for those going!

Same, though don't think we will be going this February. Hopefully audio bootlegs will be available.

Me neither. Will see if we receive a shipping label soon from 10club.
