 To this point the new album is broken-in. I have listened to it =
probably 398 times. Pure joy it is. One of their best. Though they have =
made NO bad ones, mind you (I enjoyed RW just as much as D/D, 10...1, =
BSM, ESM, and the rest). Indeed, Breath is one of my faves. Someone =
characterized "Poets and Slaves" as a let down and suggested we put it =
first so as not to be disappointed in the end. Another submitted some =
article characterizing that song as an "odd misfire" (God, how awful...I =
could barely spit-out such a characterization of an Oils song). The best =
change in track order I have come-up with is as follows: SET YOUR =
MACHINE ON "REPLAY" AND LET IT SPIN THE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH OVER =
AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. These artists know what they are =
doing--even with their ballads. Love them and enjoy them for what they =
are.....not what you think they "should" be.
