PhilMcKay I think TTE is getting a rough rap here. I'd like to know how long the band has been toying with this song and how often they've been able to rehearse it. Eventhough I know Trey started writing this in '06, I find it hard to believe they've really had a chance to get the song where they'd like it to be...I'm going to guess they didn't have much time going from the winter to Hampton to Summer tour, to album, to festival, to Fall tour in a short period of time.

Personally, I like what came out of Trey's TTE album. The orchestra version of the song is fantastic. I can't imagine how much work the band had to put in to get the song to be playable at a show (the NPR interview said it took them 270 takes just to get it on the Joy album).

With that, I think the jury needs to stay out for a while and give TTE a chance. Some friends and I saw them perform TTE in Cincinnati and I thought they did a good job with it. I certainly think TTE has some potential.

Other than that...I'm with several other people on this board...Foam? I'm even surprised to see Sparkle. I think Sparkle is a fun tune.
