Have been listening to that demo a LOT in the past year; really excited to hear the studio version. This is definitely one of my most anticipated albums of the year.

Going to see them in Austin on the 17th--hopefully they play some more new songs (I wonder how many of those demo'd songs are going to make it onto the album. "A Loophole In Limbo" sounded good, too).

I think I actually prefer the demo version. I don't like what they did to the intro.

Song was really good. Chorus was nice, although I kind of hoped for more of a bridge. The slightly heavier direction of this album is pretty sweet.

That was pretty good. Not amazing or anything, but good.

Alright. Dude eventually is going to have to realize that hitting the same pitch in every chorus is going to wear out its welcome.

Bass was so out of place, no matter how technical it was. And the toms in the prechorus is some of the worst production work I've heard in a while. Everything else was pretty standard Fair to Midland fare.

Disappointing, but the album should still be good.

Yea the demo sounded much better. This version has too many awkward, out of place sounds....

Saw these guys last week. Intense show, seemed so much crazier than the album.

Shut up faggots. Just jealous cause you can't hit them highs like this angel does.

Seems like they're trying a bit too hard, but still good. It's like pulling the bass from Schism and putting it in a pop punk song. This was actually the least exciting of the demo songs imo.

It's so catchy! The chorus isn't as immediately catchy to me as, say, "Dance of the Manatee" or "Tall Tales...," but I found that it got stuck in my head weeks later, then I'd have to listen to the song again to get it out.

And the drums are damn amazing!

i disagree with the people who say "he hits the same note in every song", first of all because that's a musically ignorant statement. one of the things i like so much about fair to midland is that darroh's melodies are all so unique. including this one from musical chairs.

I like how the keyboards are part of the song, not just an afterthought.

Sounds great! I've had Fables in my car since the day it was released. Wish I didn't have to wait four years for another album, but I'm still pumped.

I don't know if the heavier sound fits them. I'll have to hear the whole album.

--I'm like the only one on sputnik that can't get into these guys.--

There's probably a lot of them, but they don't bother to post on bands that they don't like.

Yeah, didn't like the bass at all. Other than that, i heard this song a couple times on Fables.
