Seeing how much of this album lays little new ground, the experiment that is Some Loud Thunder acts as one of the few actually inspired moments on the album. Much of this album feels like their first only less inspired, less powerful and less engaging. This song works. Frankly much of the lyrics seem to reference things that draw your attention: Loud Thunder, A Cannonball as Big as the ocean, et cetera, et cetera. Exactly what these mean to the overall theme of the song, well, beats me...
