If you shout... said:
"rjh," why is it that you and I always seem to agree about everything, in here? While I think that we VERY rarely express ourselves in the same ways, haven't you noticed a very similar thread to our final conclusions? Just a thought--I just saw that you agreed with me concerning "Love And Peace..." in another thread about the album's best track.
That said, I will need to agree with what some others have said (I already posted my preferences for the tracks, but I forgot to mention this)--the alternate take of "Sometimes..." is fucking sinful, it's so bad. What a damned mess. I'll take the evocative, lush, bursting...and, yes, too syrupy...final version any day. It might sound too bombastic, production-wise, BUT I LOVE IT!!!
