I'm playing this again now. I could see myself thinking it drags if it were my first time hearing it. However, I think it works really well in the context of the album, It's kind of a break between two more aggressive songs I think. This is why I love albums - context can bring out the best in a song. To me it stands out as one of the best on the album despite its slow pace that might otherwise turn me off.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
