I'll always go see Holding Patterns when they come round my way. The volume these guys generate from a three piece is just glorious. this song is no exception. Dust, much the same as tracks from the crash days, is unapologetic in its length, and every thing in there is necessary. Holding Patterns write catchy and clever and the result is something that starts your foot tapping and by the end has you completed hooked. I love this band!

lyrics
I’ll scan the room
You circulate
You take the lead
I’ll stand behind
Much still remains
Step and repeat
Gauge indicates it’s early days
Born to fall behind
Does this sound familiar?
Compare and contrast
The ticket stubs you’ve thrown away
Two words from foe to foe on primetime
Was it meant to be
The scene of all our greatest days
Or just a glance from friend to friend in end-time
Born to fall behind
Does this sound familiar?
I’ll do my damnedest
No respite for the amputees
What’s to say
If you can’t catch it you can’t have it
Slow to perceive
A tree grown from the smallest seed
Eclipses light
Defining darkness way beneath them
Wasting away
Like centuries that’ve gone before
You’ll disappear
Too scared to raise your voice
Incomplete
Settle for less or settle the score
Fire rages on
But it all seems so far from you
The blackest lungs
The purest heart
We’ll keep you in mind
For the fall behind
This is the time we fall for it
This is the time we fall for it again
This dust on my chest was once part of the earth
Now this part of the earth is wed to me
So much remains
So it must remain

It's a departure from their previous work, with many songs actually "slower" than earlier records, but still bringing the same energy and feeling. le monsieur
Certainly a controversial direction for the band, but this album ultimately rests as my favorite from TTNG. The technical mastery of their previous albums is still present here along with some very thought provoking and philosophical lyrics. I may not always agree with the lyrical messaging, but this is an album which rewards careful listening. Syobnaf
