I feel like if they would have lead off with Magnificent for the first single, it would have had strong reception at both rock and modern/alt stations coming off of Bomb.
Unknown Caller, while not perfect, fairs so much better in this track listing.
It just shows how powerful of an album they could have, and could still make by foregoing the quest for HITZ!
Unknown Caller is for me, the ultimate 'What Could Have Been'. So much potential. But really, the centerpiece of the whole thing, the Greek chorus, is what wrecks it. Everything else, perhaps apart from somewhat uninspiring Edge picking, is pretty great.
The techno-babble lyrics kill what otherwise would have been a top 3 song on this album. I mean "password, YOU! enter here, now!" SERIOUSLY?
Of those remaining tracks I liked Breathe, Magnificent, NLOTH, & Cedars of Lebanon was probably their best track since POP - that was until SOI (SLABT, Troubles, Cedarwood, Iris etc..)
