It's A Fire isn't bad but it's objectively the worst song on here

Yeah. I could defend every other song here, hence my query. I certainly wouldn’t say it was bad either, yet perhaps pales in comparison to its surroundings

It's a bonus track of sorts, so that's perhaps only fair. Wikipedia says this about it:



"not on vinyl LP or original UK & Europe versions of album"

"It's a Fire" may be the weakest (still ok) song here, but no way "Glory Box" is the strongest, which (to me) appears to be a fan favorite. There are a handful of tracks better than it, take the first 3 for that matter.

Glory Box is bottom 3-ish, aye

Ahh, I may be getting old and forgetful Trif, but (I swear?) this point of conversation has been debated before. It’s important. Omitting that song makes this all the more perfect (again, I think this was the argument before)

Gonna dig out my old CD and check

Yeah I remember this point being raised before as well now. Oh well.



We'll probably discover it again in a few years (...months?).







Perfect album, perfect discog, perfect band.



Can't wait for the Beth solo LP and her tour, she's even visiting Utrecht and I'm going to be there 🌈😍🌈

Nice 👍🏻… I bet that will be a wholesome experience

Are there any indications as to what sort of music this solo LP will consist of? My expectations are currently at neutral levels

Bloody hell she sounds incredible

Less enthused about all the other vox but it’s pretty for sure

Yeah, what’s with all the other nonsense?

The more delicate instrumentation / Beth is A+

delete all the other vox and the over-stuffed concluding parts completely

True about that final bit yeah and the children's choir! Who knows, it might be ok on the other tracks.



She does sound incredible indeed. Looking forward to that album, curious what it'll bring.
