[kj] Poll: Favourite song from the last two albums

[Devacor at aol.com]

Ive grown to have some appreciation for 'Raven King', but yeah I felt it  
was formatted in a " oh yeah we can play that (style) just as good or better  
than you.." sort of way.. -- 
  If there is anything that stands out as 'signature' I feel its  Colony 
Collapse- which may not be everyones top song, but that song has a  special 
quality to it that's solely KJ- and that guitar in it is truly majestic-  
equal parts danger and beauty. 
 
   If I had to pick my top song, I also would just say "Ladbroke  Grove" - 
perhaps not breaking new ground, but perfect for what it is...
 and maybe just by default, as its (to me) truly one of the few songs  off 
last 2 albums where I didn't feel like "man if they just did a little more  
of this , or if that song didn't have that part in it, or cut 2 minutes off  
this song, etc...."
  I really liked ESS just as it caught me off guard- and if it wasn't  for 
the mix it could be up in the top for me. 
 
One thing though is, for as anticipated AD was with original lineup, and  
then how quick this last album came out-- it all seemed to make Hosannas  
that much more of an afterthought...

I quite like The Raven King but it is somewhat  formulaic and almost in
"comfortable" U2 or Coldplay  territory.
