Alright - putting all the negativity aside, I'd like to talk about the new songs we've heard so far. AS I see it we have heard the following either on the EP , Indaba, or on good quality live boots: -
Red Star
NDC
Why Can't You Be
Don't Believe a Word
Dao of St Peter
Monotov's
Campfire
Second Born
Campfire
Sharp Knife
Summertown
Basically this list excludes poor quality boots form the concerts where we have heard several others - SRV, In The kin etc.
Now IMO there isn't a weak song there - if the quality of these songs is anything to go by URSA MAJOR (and MINOR) is going to be awsome.
My current favorite is Campfire, followed closely by Don't Believe a Word. What's your favoite?
B-Unit














beautiful list
The best new live song I've heard them play in a long time is A Sharp Knife, hands down. I keep hoping to hear it at every show I've been to since, and had no luck. I just saw them in St. Louis and the only unreleased song they played was DBAW. I can't wait for the new album!
Campfire first (great story! When they played in San Diego last December, I was one of the only people who knew the words. Now THAT is a great feeling)
then Monotov's Private Opera. Now there's a song I sure wish I'd written.
why can't you be, hands down
but admittedly, i haven't heard many of the songs off of that list
the best two songs i've heard yet are "Jesse2k" and "In the Skin", to me they are the 2 off the wall tracks since "Wounded" and "Faster"
this archive is bad ass! hell yea! thanks so much for sharing it!
We are failing to mention: Now I Don't Know. To me, that song has the best chance of being a radio hit, of any of the new material. I love all the new stuff - but that riff in Now I Don't Know is A-Freakin' Mazing. It's words are accessible for all to understand. It reasonates for people. I thought the Fillmore boots and version was fantastic. For those who want 3eb content check out the member on this site by the name of VANDY - he created a great archive. Mad props to that guy - here is link:

Why Can't You Be really just rubs me right. I love it and can't wait for the full album to be in my hands :^P
I love the range of diferent vibes from the new songs - really powerful rockers like Sharp Knife and In The skin. to quiter acoustic numbers like Dao and Monotov's. Then there's Campfire and Red Star - I don't really know what they are but I like them!
There aren't any good boots of Jesse 2k/Days I Never Knew... but even the crappy boots have so much energy! So that's probably my top. I'm looking forward to seeing how Sharp Knife will turn out, too.
