Admittedly, I've only heard the full album once, end to end. But I echo the love for "Cath." What struck me about that track is how old it feels - in a great way. It sounds like a long lost item from the early DC days!
And I really do love the single, much to my initial chagrin. But you hit the nail on the head with the comparison to "Transatlanticism," Joe! That song ceaselessly gives me chills. For all the momentum created in "Possess," the lyrics are anti-climactic. And yeah, I really felt let down by the words to "You Can Do Better Than Me." Show, don't tell, Ben!
