Listened to the album and it was underwhelming like I was expecting but it was nice and some of the melodies were gorgeous i'll definitely give it another listen
Everything We Touch remains their magnum opus and it will not be dethroned
Yeah, they talked about Eclipse in their recent interview for the 405. It was a nice read altogether. I recommend.
Quote:
Another song that hasn't made it onto the album is 'Eclipse'. It appeared on an early unmastered version of the album sampler and sounded like a mammoth hit in the making. In the politest of ways, WTF?
M: Back when we were with Columbia Records they made that album sampler for internal purposes, just for people we were working with but it leaked out. 'Eclipse' was just a demo but people assumed it would be on the album. So people have been counting on a song that we never even said we wanted to release or have.
E: That's nothing to do with us, really.
But you guys wrote that one, right?
E: Yeah. The thing is, it's a great song and we liked it. That song was one of our most sarcastic moments and it was semi-autobiographical but we didn't think it would fit on this record.
M: I mean, who knows about the future but it was not right for this record.
