outside of the context of the rest of the album I can definately see why people wouldn't like The Running Free...I think it's going to be the "Blood Red Summer" or "The Suffering" of NWFT - the poppy radio single. However, when you put play it as part of the album as a whole I'm sure it will blend much better just like the previously mentioned songs do. Such is the way of concept albums. This song, however, I think is great. It's definately got a different feel to it - a little more of a groove than most Coheed songs. Overall the release of these two songs has completely reignited my excitement for this new album just like "Welcome Home" did before Good Apollo came out. I think No World for Tomorrow is going to be brilliant and can't wait to hear what Chris Pennie brings to the mix.
