Take the vocals off of Wasted Reprise and sing the Red Mosquito outro ("If I had known then, what I know now...") Hear the similarities? It's the same chord progression.

Now the question is: Is this implied, coincidence, or blooper?

probably coincidence, since boom wrote the music and he had nothing to do with RM, but given the similarity of the message it could be intentional.

that BOOM is so unoriginal, as if we wouldn't notice, this is the only song I haven't heard yet and that's not a request I just have no idea what the fuck I'm talking about when it comes to this song

In and of itself the song does little for me, but it's a great bridge from "Gone" to "Army Reserve." I like catching my breath, so to speak, after the former's dynamics.

I remember someone posting that this song was like some hybrid version of life wasted, one of those weird fillers, is this true? does is have the same riff? can someone try and sum it up for me

i was just thinking the same thing..but can someone tell me whats the point of this song other than filler

I can see them playing this over the PA to open the show. Maybe without Ed's vocals though...

it's a reprise

To let you come down off "Gone" and settle in for the last three epics.

all I say is that it should have been longer. heres hopping for an extended jam on the tour

re·prise

1. Music a. A repetition of a phrase or verse. b. A return to an original theme.

very insightful, you answered so many questions but used so few words to do it

This reminds me of something I'd hear on a Jethro Tull album.... It's a nice little touch.

It is a nice way to catch your breath but it's not like come back has such a tough begining that this is really necessary. I think it's an important thematic element to the album that they want to remind the listener of. It's also fascinating to see how they could have taken life wasted in such a totally different direction

Great track

YES

i dunno about red mosquito, but it sounds like it is the love boat captain chord progression in a different key

Usually a reprise is after a huge epic song on an album. I don't think Life Wasted is epic, but it is good.

See South's album From Here On In.

The reprise for All in for Nothing is BEFORE the actual tune

This is almost as bad as I had expected it to be. The lyrics aren't strong or profound enough to warrant a reprise, and while the music is cool it seems like a forced interlude. I really don't understand the point of it.

Army Reserve more than makes up for it though.
