    Enjoyed it on the first listen but it took a couple of more times to really love it. I think this will be better live than Whoever Said is. Can't wait!

    I enjoy this song. Sounds very similar to Brother the Cloud both musically and thematically. The bridge is suuuper similar to the outro of BTC

    My fav on the record after 5 listens. Could be about his wife or maybe Cornell? I hope Eddie’s not getting a divorce. Lyrics are throughout the whole record 
    It really made me think there are references to Cornell. 😭 
    I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.

    Was Ed even close to Cornell? Seems like everyone wants to think that every song is about him. I don't get it.

    Best opening track since Go
    I think it's the best opening track since whoever said. I'm kidding, but im not. I thought whoever said was the best song they had recorded in at least 18 years when it was released. Still do. Scared of fear is great too though, and might be my favorite from the new album.
    Wow, 18 years. Why were you still hanging around if you didn’t like ANYTHING they had put out in all that time? Crazy. 
    Why do you keep doing this in every thread? That's not at all what they said.
    Reading comprehension is hard yo

    Go, Who Ever Said, and Scared of Fear are all great songs! The lyrics keep on getting better with each album. There's a stretch in Who Ever Said from about 2:40 - 4:30 that is gold in my opinion.   Enjoy the new music everyone

    Extremely, but not as much in the years before he died. Cornell was living in LA with his 2nd wife and it seems like maybe a lot of Seattle people were wishing they saw him more often. 
    I personally suspect Comes Then Goes is at least partially about him but I think that’s about the extent of it. Some people seem to see it in songs I just don’t see it in.

    Scared of Fear is my favorite song on a great album. I'll be humming Stone's guitar riff until the day I die. 🥑

    Awesome song. Seems like as much as I turn it up, it could be played louder.

    Agree!  I think Who Ever Said is such a great song.  If I had a critique it’d be that it is probably about 45 seconds too long but absolutely love it.  

    Scared of Fear is damn good too by the way.

    It so fucking good. Since I first heard it I loved it. I was lucky to be at the London listening event and I came away with this song already knowing I love it. And now I can listen obsessively over and over . I just can't get enough. In my car I'm in serious danger of getting arrested.

    I think you’ll be fine, surely it would go like this.

    Police officer - “excuse me sir, why were you speeding?”

    lastexitlondon - “it’s not my fault, listen to this”

    **plays Scared Of Fear**

    Police officer - “oh shit that’s awesome, you’re free to go”

    Comes Then Goes absolutely is about CC
