Definitely not one of my least favourites - I reckon "Reprieve" is a classic, 
personally!  Some folks don't seem to like the wonderfully OTT guitar solo at 
the end, but to me it fits perfectly with the OTT nature of the lyric, which 
is pretty melodramatic in itself!

Mmmm... "Night Friends".  One of my favourites, right there : unbelievably 
atmospheric, that one.  Whoever it was that made the Floyd comparison isn't 
far off, admittedly (though that's hardly a criticism! ;-)), but it's a 
gorgeous, gorgeous song.

As do I - that's another favourite.  Jeez, at this rate, they'll *all* be 
favourites! ;-)

Indeed.  I actually reckon "Seen It Coming" would probably make a better 
single than either of those.  "After Everything" is just so gorgeous that it 
seems almost a sacrilege to put it out as a single, though! :-)

The man is superhuman... :-)

And for those of us who love the album too, please... ;-)

I actually like that - it's kind of eerie... :-)

Please!  Judging by AENT, they're on the mother of all writing rolls at the 
moment.  Someone should lock them in the studio again as soon as possible!  
(Well, as long as Marty has time out to finish helping to write/record the 
new All About Eve album, anyhow!)

Peace,
