    not sure if this was talked about before - it's been a few months since i've visited thy holy yield thread.

    so my friend and i have this discussion frequently about the awesomeness of faithfull...

    you know how almost all other #2 tracks are really similar? so similar in fact that when WWS came out, it was predicted to be track #2...so where does faithfull fit in as #2? it doesn't...and i think that's part of the beauty of it.

    i see Ishmael in the whole album, but almost none more than in faithfull. and i forget - is 'faithfull' spelled with 2 L's on the album? it is right? but faithful, is really spelled with 1 L. nice move - we are so full of 'faith' that we are missing what's really going on in our world.

    and i always thought the "furry thing" was a direct reference to Ishmael himself...

    "like echoes, nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes..."

    just my 2 cents today :)
    it's funny when things change so much, it's all state of mind...

    Love the input!

    I've thought before about the extra L perhaps being the "game controls that keep us in a box of fear" being full of sh*t. We don't listen to them and keep faith in the world/higher power so strong as to be FULL of faith.

    you know yield is the best when it's OUT OF STOCK on the goods page :D
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    Ditto here. There are three albums that changed me, musically, and YIELD is one of them.

    My favorite album from these guys. Such a variety of tracks. Hard rockers (Brain of J., DTE, Pilate), fantastic riffs (Faithfull, Given To Fly, No Way, ATY), unappreciated songs like Low Light and MFC, and of course, In Hiding. I give In Hiding it's own category because...well, it's just perfect.

    Good to know. Getting to hear In Hiding at ER 2 in 06 was amazing. I think I was more surprised by how many people in the crowd knew it. Some of the versions of that song in 03 are just spectacular.

    YIELD songs are a rarity these days unless it's Wishlist, GTF or DTE.

    Lowlight was a nice surprise in Chicago '06. Sadly, I don't think it translates well in a live arena setting, but it was great to see them perform it.

    There are very few albums that move me, emotionally. In fact, I make fun of people who go on and on about hwo they are "moved" by music. Well, YIELD moves me. That's how incredible this album is.

    Same for me. I have many albums that I like, really like, and love. But not any other one moves me like Yield does. I can not imagine it not being a part of my life!
