You guys should try and snag the iTunes demos for this album.
The demo for "The Ice Is Getting Thinner" is the piano version Ben was doing on his solo tour. There's also a demo version of "No Sunlight" which is kind of Posies-ish compared to how it is now, a Jimmy Eat World track.
And of course there's the radio version of "IWPYH" which will probably replace it's 8-minute predecessor when I burn a copy for my car. Why wait 5+ minutes to hear a pop song when you can have it right away.
As mentioned before, I'm extremely smitten with "Cath". I don't know what it is, but I love love love the way he sings "in a hand-me-down wed-ding dress". It's my favorite part of the entire album.
