    Nice effort doing this review but I have to disagree about how The End ends.
    Lyrics and music works perfectly and the bonus is the nice production touch from BoB with the gasp you can hear at 2:49.

    The End is perfectly sublime.

    Please don't use the word 'Jamily'. Just sounds really lame to me. Like something that a Dad would think is 'cool' and 'hip'.

    Nice review. Well worth the time to read through it, and listen to the respective songs as they're reviewed (they about match up on timing too ;))

    I had two thoughts after I read it.....and it seems a few other people have the same opinion on at least one of them.

    The End

    Perfect ending....the song itself lends to a raw, human side of (how I read it, Ed) that shows he is in fact fragile, insecure, and needy like the rest of us.

    The abrupt end really catches you out. Puts half a dozen !!! around the final line of the lyrics....really makes an impact that would've been lost had the song faded out. This band won't fade out. Ed won't fade out.


    The other point was their best album. Surely it's got to be TEN? There's really nothing I can add to the argument there.

    For me though, this album has the potential to slot into the #2 spot.

    I don't think its cool or hip at all. I don't really like it. But it has stuck. That's what people widely call us in the music industry and beyond.

    It absolutely has not stuck. It is thrown out once in a great while by some clueless media member. It is not propagated on this board at all.

    Once in a while a clueless board member will throw out the term. In fact I think usually when it shows up in the media, it's a quote from some fan at a show.

    This term is dead, and needs to be buried for ever more.

    I don't want to be associated as if I was in a cult like 'The Family' that Charles Manson ran.
