    It has quickly become one of my PJ favorites. Of course, seeing it live will be an important factor in whether it stays there for good or is just the flavor of the proverbial PJ month song for me.

    to me it's in the vein of:

    present tense
    unthought known
    corduroy
    review mirror
    severed hand

    it has quickly become one of my favorites

    Alot of people are saying it is heavily influenced by Pink Floyd but to me the intro is more like a mixture of U2 & Soundgarden. 
    The intro is 100% U2!

    you can claim U2 all you want, but go listen to Meddle or Wish you were here (the albums not the single tracks).... and the intro is so Pink Floyd there is no debate. 

    It’s Shine On You Crazy Diamond

    It and Scared of Fear are the ones that are sticking inside my head.

    After 2nd week with the album, my favorite track. It didn't start that way; first I was drawn to Won't Tell, Setting Sun, etc. But, Upper Hand has pulled me in!! Like a lonely ship on the horizon...

    Maybe best song since riot act, have to give it time but it absolutely sounds like it could have been off of binaural and that’s a compliment
