1. Gone.... hands down, best lyrics since Achtung + siren guitar
2. Please... same as above for lyrics (if the production had been better, I may even have made it no. 1)
3. Do You Feel Loved... coolest sounding of the bunch? (even though the lyrics are
)
4. Discotheque.... my 3rd fav intro of all-time, I think.
5. Staring at the Sun... beautiful, esp. the Popmart version
6. Mofo... I would've put this higher up but apart from the technical genius, I'm not crazy about this one.
7. Miami.... raw as I like it, dirty guitar, fantastic percussion, love that feedback sound a la Daddy's Gonna Pay, lyrics aren't bad either except for you know which one.
8. If You Wear That Velvet Dress.... one of the earliest reviews I read described it as 'smoother than the finest whiskey'
9. Wake Up Dead Man... desperation and helplessness have not been this well-captured in song since Floyd's Don't Leave Me Now!
10.If God Will Send His Angels... Love the lyrics. Again, production ruins it.
11.Last Night on Earth... straightforward rocker in an album full of
, good but not great
12.The Playboy Mansion... Actually I really really like the mood in this number... that slide guitar. The lyrics, esp. the opening ones are not very good... mystery-history???
This was sooooo hard. Come to think of it, I love every song here!
