After the last show...
Synergy
Rush
The Sound/Reel Time
IAQ - matts sining has really improved, and this song is a prime example. vocals were really really clear yesterday and perfectly in tune. keep up the good work matt.
World Needs Us
Metropolis - cant really get into this song so far. I liked it a lot the first time in utica but i was 15+ drinks deep. Seeing it sober yesterday, the opening gets you pumped up with that off timing riff, but then the verses are really meh and i dont really like how chris sings it. The chorus is only so-so. I enjoy the ending a lot though once they come back into that opening riff

8. Reel Time (completely sick of this tune right now. They need to either jam it out or shelve it)
9. The mehssage

I really don\'t understand all the Living Daylights bashing. I actually like the song quite a bit. Not all of their songs need to have the ability to stretch to 20+ minutes or have a prog feel to it with 5+ sections to it. It\'s a nice dark tune. Too much of the same thing starts to get a little stale.
-
i have a feeling the message and living daylights will not be seen very much from here on
which is a good thing
yeah this is prob a good thing, but it\'s all about trying new things, seeing what works and what doesn\'t, and these two songs were important just as much as the better ones in figuring out what works best for this new lineup. and so the breakfast steps up their game with IAQ and Metropolis! not baaahhhd
-
metro and IAQ are pretty much tied but both come in instantly right under rush and synergy.
I LOVE the written part of IAQ and the jam is super styled out as well. On the other hand I am not as crazy about metro music but the jam is HUGE on the very first version and has some SER possibilities.
Both were a huge step up chris and matt though.

DING DING DING!!!!! I agree with this lineup 100%, though the two newest ones may move up on my list the more they get played. I love the intro lick in IAQ, and metropolis is a downright catchy tune in a cool-breakfasty way.
-
I\'ll tell ya, as an "old guy", it\'s VERY rare that I love a song from the get-go. I usually have to hear it a few times and let it sink in. But, when I heard IAQ at soundcheck, I was instantly intrigued. Then, when they played it during the show, I was instantly in love with it!! Like Leith said, it contains all that this band has to offer. Matt def. hit a home run that blew out the windows of the guy\'s car parked in two spaces in the back of the parking lot "to protect it".

Tough calls other than #7.
Rush has definitely produced my favorite jams so far, World Needs Us is close behind. Synergy is just large and in charge in every way, but the jams haven\'t brought me to my knees yet. It takes the top spot because of its grand structure, (still) solid jams, and potential.
Tier 1 - Rush, Synergy
Tier 2 - Reel Time, The World Needs Us, The Sound
Tier 3 - The Message, Living Daylights
If they expand on the end of Reel Time and play it out a little bit longer I think it has great potential to be a Tier 1 song. I\'ve enjoyed the range of the Tier 3 songs so far but someone has to be at the bottom.
I changed my mind I do like the singing in rush.
The whole song is sick.
Very coil like in composed and jam style.
My list stands but it\'s a close tie between synergy and rush and others too.
1/2 Synergy/Rush
3/4 World Needs Us/Reel time
^^^ser--------------
5/6 The Sound/Living Day Lights
7 The message
the rush singing sucks as much as the jam rocks. hard to place it. I don\'t think it\'s really my #2 overall though. The sound is so much easier on the ears. and LD does not suck! it\'s badass!
? I don\'t understand what it is that some people aren\'t liking about Rush. What\'s wrong with the vocals? It has some of the best harmonizing that they\'ve done in a long time. In fact, I enjoyed it more acoustically rather than electric. Just something about it works better acoustically for me. Electric version rocks tho. :)

1. Living Daylights - Finally a new throat-kicker along the lines of Merge, WPOAC.
2. The Sound - A heady delight that makes me want to Sundance at the Love Lake.
3. Synergy - Classic Breakfast. The jam can go anywhere (just check out the last acoustic show)
4. The World Needs Us/Reel Time (Tie) - Welcome to the new songwriting style and sound of this band. HURRAH!
5. The Message - Definitely a different vibe, but I dig it. Especially since Tim has been wanting to write a "rap" song for some time, and Mr. Oestreicher has beat him to the punch.
6. Rush - Ooooooh Sorry Chip. I love the chippage factor in this tune, but I need to hear it some more......
With some more shows to listen to I have revised my list a bit.
1. The Sound- Still my favorite
2. Reel Time- Even with the UM vibe this song is freakin\' STRONG.! The Indy version just vaulted it up to #2.
3. World Needs Us- Getting better and better.
4. The Message- I just love to boogie to this one.
5. Synergy- Some SER insane freakin\' jams come out of this one.
6. Rush- I am still not sold but liking it more and more
7. Living Daylights- Still last but no longer sucks. The version from NJ seems slowed down from previous versions and it worked better for me but still a rather boring song for a band like this.
So again my love for lyrics is coming through strong.

Everyone was talkin up these supposed new tracks before sterling but no deals :idunno:
guess its on in utica. will be cool to hear them, add them to the list and see where they rank. The band has already produced some great music in 2008. Hopin they take it to the next level now and throw down some ill collaborational tracks that represent the energy,fun, experimentation, and balls to the wall raging of the new sound :thumbsup:
Above is my backup (most people in this thread (including myself) put RT and WNU either right next to each other, or tied

^that was my original several weeks ago
Revised:
1. Rush - I love everything about this song...catchy/corky singing, sweet composed section, blazing jam
2. The Sound - This song has gotten so much better since they debuted it on so many fronts, especially the singing and variety in the jam segment. awesome song, close 2nd to rush.
3. Synergy - Dropped a little bit on my list. Most parts in this song i love, and the composed section is very impressive, but theres a few sections that throw off the flow of the tune in my opinion. overall its a monster though.
4 . Tied - Reel Time and World Needs Us - I have to tie these 2 becuase I simply cant pick a winner over the other. I still have pretty big issues with the vocals in WNU, but the jams haev gotten so sick that it offsets it. The song actually goes from an "80\'s rock ballad" to a wild tecnho/OE\'esque/synth dance party, amazing! I really like the verses of Reel Time, everything about them (singing, DRUMS!, bass lines, guitar riff, etc), but Im not a huge fan of the chorus and I wish they would try to jam this more and see how it sounds.
~~Big Gap~~
5. The Message - I still really dislike this song, and it hasnt moved up at all in my opinion of it, but at least its better than...
6. Living Daylights - This song is horrible. Its not catchy, it makes me want to cover my ears, and tims singing on it is so awful. Sorry Chip.
-
Synergy - this song has it all
The World Needs Us - finally moving closer to its potential
Living Daylights - thats right motherfucker
Reel Time - expand on the last part and it\'ll be a great mid-set song (especially apart of a scheme sandwich)
Rush - drop some lyrics or invert it
The Sound - good song but i don\'t expect them to take this song in any other direction than its already been played
The Message - liked it when it debuted but after seeing it a couple more times I think it just disrupts a setlist. it would fit well before a raging first set closer or possibly after a more mellow first set opener, but thats about it. maybe first of two encore songs would work too.
-
i like the message a lot better after listening to the last show. you can understand every word :thumbsup:
the reel time from that show is also a cool version
-
i think after listening to rush a few different times, i think playing it inverted would be pretty sick, that slowed down istrumental part before the jam (played normally) would be a cool way to end a jam
-
after hearing/watching the toads video im gonna have to say rush is my favorite of them all now
-
the sounds continues to get higher...the last version i heard at toads was immense. close to synergy/rush

ok.. i think i\'m ready.

i haven\'t had time to listen to all the new tunes yet so i can\'t vote on them. maybe someone should toss this up as a poll to see which was we like best. better yet, someone should put all these new tunes on one CD and pass them out at shows. didn\'t someone do that with moxie before it was official released? i\'d love to have all the new songs on one CD to hold me over before the new album comes out.
-
even though i put the sound at 4, i think it deserves more credit than it is getting. a lot of people have been busting on it recently, but i tihnk its a really cool song. i love the 6 timing in the verses. i just think the vocals in the chorus need work (or maybe even try changing the chorus vocals completely, b/c i think this kinda ruins the vibe of the song, which is otherwise awesome).
i am positively biased on rush because i am typically someone who doesnt pay much attention to lyrics. its just the way i am. i friggin LOVE this song. i think the way it is SUNG (differece between singing and lyrics themselves) fits the song perfectly and is very in line with what i love about the breakfast.

The Sound = best dead-inspired tune
Synergy = most danceable, but needs some ser work
Reel Time = most "catchy" and able to "sell" to new fans - markets all strengths of the band right now - musically & vocally
Living Daylights = :vomit2: until the middle parts of the song -- too rough & hard right now, fo\' sho.

Not heard any of these "live" of course, but from what I\'ve heard thanks to Dave and Chris, here\'s my rankings, though I should say Reel Time and Synergy are, for me, the best by a country mile, with World Needs Us, The Sound & Rush going from strength to strength.
