The Batson influence is very obvious in this track. I don't dislike this clip, hopefully the song is good too.

This track is something different, but at least it's going somewhere, at least it's moving.

EDIT: How come when David Gray added drum loops and synth to his sound ala White Ladder it was lauded as genius?

i think that everyone is trying really hard to expect the worst.

I thought first few seconds were very poppy, but when roi and Boyd came in i was liking it. Its sounds good to me. Seems there are more people who do like it than dont, which is greeeeeaaaaaaaaaat!

we have carter, we don't need a fucking drum machine. not hard to grasp. it seems like mark is using carter as background noise, more then using him for the drummer that he really is.

i dontknow, i just thought that this track was awful. i have liked every other one, and i can't WAIT for some of them to come out, like dream girl and old dirt hill. but i just can't even listen to this one.

I think David Gray's sound is very good. It's not overly electronic. I think it's a good mix of acoustic music and electronics. I think he is great at melding the two.
