    I'm glad that Running is compared to the worst songs they've released. Very glad.

    I'm sorry this makes no sense how is in hiding like parting ways and how is force of nature like sleeping by myself. MFC like hail hail and life wasted?
    I've been lucky enough to hear this album and some of this is way off.

    I think his point is that he hears or feels elements of the listed songs in the corresponding DM tracks. It’s a very subjective thing and hey, if he hears it, that’s his reality.

    also….didn’t you say you couldn’t really focus on the record much with Ed being right there and the sort of party-like atmosphere that was the London event?

    Multiple reviews have compared WFS (or elements thereof) to SOLAT and Breath. 

    I think you’re taking this all too literally.

    He might be talking about sound, lyrical content and theme, arrangement. More stuff than just the music.

    Guessing he's saying there is parts to the new songs that remind him of a mix of the other songs?  I think it's good that you see things differently to keep this all in perspective for us who haven't heard it.  I have no expectations (I like Dark Matter and Running well enough though I don't get the Dark Matter song comparisons he sees so taking it all with a grain of salt).  Some of these reviews are really hyping it up, probably because they're getting paid to?

    His post says he hears some bits of PJs musical DNA in these songs.  He’s not saying that these songs sound like these previous songs.

    Yea but he's comparing the songs
    Sweetwater was an analog for Led Zep
    Homelander is an analog of Superman
    An analogy is similar, clearly from the same root word, and could certainly be used to say something very similar if not quite synonymous.
    But the way Cohen wrote it analog was the right word.

    Spot on. Precisely.

    i always think of it like this:

    when in conversation with someone and looking for a way to explain the nature on something general, i use an analogy. “You want credit for observing x, when it’s like calling water wet. Stating the obvious.”

    Analogs, on the other hand, tend to refer to past events or pre existing things to which we can look for comparisons to current day. In my world we always talk about analogs to current trends in capital mkts or the economy. Is 1995 an analog for the current high int rate, low unemployment, and high economic growth trend? If so, what conclusions can we draw. How…analogous are the two periods?

    analogs are used in meteorology all the time to help predict or explain how storms or significant weather events will play out.

    of course, analogs are almost never deterministic. They are used in probabilistic modeling.

    Wait is Homelander an analog of Superman?
