I totally couldn't wait for my copy so I caved and got up 15 min early on Friday so I could download the album on iTunes before work and take it withe me, lol. I guess you could see that I actually did 'The Art of Doing Nothing' all day then ;)
I've been mulling this over, because as I've been listening to the album, it seems like my favourite is whatever I'm listening to at the moment. There's not a bad track in the bunch. (Well, okay, I'm not so fond of The Lamb, but it's not a matter of not liking it so much as not liking it as much as everything else.) But if I had to pick the tracks that are bubbling up for me, they'd probably be Giveaway, Heaven's Falling, End of Everything, and Animals. And Stars, of course.
I know what you mean - I really love the album as a whole and I'm sure after hearing some of it live, I'll change my mind again about favourites ;)
Right now I think my favourites are The One (I'm actually deeply in love with that song), Carnival, End of Everything and The Lamb - the last one actually touches me so much, made me cry the first time I listened to it ♥
The opening of Carnival gives me chills. And I've got a feeling The Lamb will grow on me. It has the feeling of a song that will slowly get under my skin.
And OMG, I'm so jealous you still get to see Mark, I just wanna go again! He was sooo good, best night ever! I felt so proud because he looked so happy and he was rocking the place so much :D Emma and the kids (Elwood and Willow) were there as well and we ended up standing right above Howard (as in "could have reached out and stroked his hair") - perfect night ♥
