    Because it's shitty. The album version is cheapy. Too many instruments without requirement. Overdone.
    I like it much better than the demo. It's really grown on me. You can actually dance to the album version. Its got some backbone.

    Becoming one of my favorites which is tough because I absolutely enjoy so much of this album.

    This song is easily the most crap on this album.

    It is the only song I actively skip. Demo was better but still crap.

    No sweat, every albums gotta have a piece of shit, this is the piece of shit that fits in our Backspacer.

    This is the only song I don't really care for on the whole record. Kind of kills the overall momentum for me. That said, I can always find something to like in a PJ song, including SOS. But I'm not crazy about it.
    Give way to nature ...

    For me it's mainly the feel of the drums that kills it. Why Matt chose to play that cheesy swing beat is beyond me. I think it has a better vibe without drums. If they were played with a different feel, maybe I wouldn't feel this way.. oh well

    Dude. You have posted twice, you suck your thumb and you have a favourite blankie.

    A mod application is on it's way to you as we speak.

    Don't give a crap what anyone else thinks. Speed of Sound is definitely one of the best on the new album. Sounds like it would have fit in nicely on Binaural. Just my humble opinion.

    I love the song. I actually love the drums on this song.

    surprised they haven't been playing it live.

    just love the entire album.

    he was hard to escape for awhile. But even Meatloaf thinks SoS is cheesy and too melodramatic. :)

    And some people just have different tastes. I don't hate SOS, but I don't find it incredibly anything.

    When Ed sings, "And yet I'm still holding tight," I can't help but picture Olivian Newton John singing Hopelessly Devoted in Grease. Am I the only one?

    haha

    I think because most of us heard the demo first, we all had expectations for that.


    I like the album version, but much prefer the demo.
