    Setting Sun
    On my 5th listen, and it’s Setting Sun. The second half of that song is going to slaughter live. Only time on the album that Ed gave me goosebumps.

    I genuinely cant comment on the best one as every time I listen to a song it becomes my favourite.

    But after yet another listen though, man that Scared Of Fear bridge is one of my favourite things

    i cant really choose one to be honest.

    the album is THAT good.

    only one that hasnt clicked yet is react,respond(the chorus is very weird) all other ones are amazing and yes including something special

    Same here.  Upper Hand, Waiting For Stevie and Setting Sun actually took a while to click for me, I know they are getting lots of love from most people.  But finally they clicked today when hearing proper version.

    But React, Respond is yet to click, I'm sure it will one day.

    Gonna take awhile for me to answer this, in large part because there are several contenders.

    After this incredible 5 song stretch with Dark Matter, Won‘t Tell, Upper Hand, Waiting and Running, I need to hear some relaxing Country. :-)

    Won't Tell is awesome. Early leader for me.

    Oh man, the end of React, Respond in headphones. Mike's solo swirling ear to ear, unreal.

    Scared of Fear
    C-Wad84911 sagte: Scared of Fear ist mein Favorit mit React, Respond und Waiting For Stevie als 2. bzw. 3. Lied. Ich liebe auch immer noch den verdammten Titeltrack.

    Waiting For Stevie
    It's hard to believe we have a band 34 years and 12 albums in that they can produce a record as strong as this.  There is something in all the songs to grab hold of and listen to which is very rare

    My opinion is it is their best-paced record in years (I felt some post 2006 have died a little towards the end) and it is incredibly strong start to finish.

    I thin the title track might be the best
