I also promise myself that I won't listen, but every day I check if there are lyrics and fragments. Human nature... :)

After quite a few listens I can say that I love Ahead Of The Game I love the guitar riff, when I listen to the final part of the solo, after min 2:12 , it reminds me for an instant the black Pensa of water of love (live version Notting hillbillies)

Yes, or this moment: 2:20-22 is soothing for me.

Then the usual question will come up: Listen to it or not listen to it. I don't WANT to but I fear I will be too weak to resist...

Nothing wrong with reading the lyrics, in my opinion. I'll definitely do that. Listening to snippets, however ... what's the point? Okay, you'll know how the album sounds, but it's too late to change that, anyway. ;) And since we're ALL going to buy the album regardless of its sound or any other qualities/weaknesses, why not wait until you get the full experience?

I don’t want to read the lyrics. I want to hear them in context.

I am surprised that almost all of you love this song and that is of course brilliant.
Personally I think it one of those quickly forgettable songs the more I listen to it. Cant wait for the other ones.  :thumbsup

It's like the man (or woman) dying of thirst in the desert. That luke warm dirty well water they drink is the best damn water ever. :)

Dusty says it all.

When the album comes everybody will be running in separate directions to find "their" songs.

At the moment this is all we have.

I have to admit the more I listen to it the more boring I find it.  Singles have regularly been among the weakest from the album for me so I'm eagerly waiting the release.

It's nice, but forgettable. You'd think he'd try to create a sense of desperation or being part of a race given the theme of the song. A more fitting title would be "Time for a nap again"  ;D

My 84 year old father finds some of MK's latest releases a bit boring. I am getting there, I am nearly 50...  ;)

I don't remember if anybody commented about this...

The song starts different in the videoclip, with Ianto starting the song with some drumstick noises and then the band start playing, than in the streaming single, that the band starts directly playing.

I wonder if that videoclip start is like that in the record, or is only like that in the videoclip. It's not important really, but curious for me.
