It's something that, frankly, I've missed with the "minimalist" approach he's been taking lately.
he sounds like he's about to throw up - which i guess makes all the sense it the world if he's singing how he's sick of someone

yeah i don't like Trouble and similar kind of music he made in the past, GOS1 and SWS are more my cup of tea... although i guess that doesn't say much b/c there is a huge range of songs on those 2 albums. plus i love love love SHN and Rodeo which i guess one can characterize almost as poppy as can be ? but i agree with you that this may be the glimpse on his new FM material. although i hope not; i hope this is really very soundtrack-specific.

EDIT: i do like the guitar parts a lot. although they do sound very Mediterranean to me.
