Hmm...
Not really.

I agree that Memory is an excellent song and one of their best ballads since 2000 but it's not really a masterpiece.

I think MaM is, BY FAR, the best Post-TD ballad that they've written.

Okay, now you took it too far!

One of the best in a while, yessss. Masterpiece? No!

IMO of course.

The song refreshed my love to the band as no other song past IML did, so there you go!

I think Memory worked well. However I'm one of the ones that could sit through Hallelujah every show too. Jon just knows how to put those songs across in my opinion. Neither of them seemed to be a downer at any of the shows I saw.

So Memory might pop up now and again because it's pretty easy to sing. I think Lost Highway will be around too. The only one I really liked was Whole Lotta Leavin so I hope that gets some replay.

I don't understand how people couldn't!?

It's such a beautiful song, and I find Jon sings it justice. I think sometimes he sounds beautiful singing that song. And It's the one of the best covers they've done. A few people at concert were talking through right next to me, so I gave them evil looks, LOL. I think they got the picture.

When I was there I stood there listening while my brother was crying his eyes out!

Haha, bless.

I had tears in my eyes. But that was partly because of the pain in my feet. :P
