Re: ROUND 6 - Combat Rock - Side Two
I voted Death is a Star but I wouldn't exactly call it an injustice to see 3-4 of these other ones bounced either.

Re: ROUND 6 - Combat Rock - Side Two
I think ObF is the weak link here. My controversial opinion is that this is a very strong side.

Re: ROUND 6 - Combat Rock - Side Two
Strong or weak, I'd put a lot of these as similar in quality. OBF is probably gonna go, but I actually kinda like it as a side two lead-off.Silent Majority wrote: ↑10 Apr 2019, 1:46pmI think ObF is the weak link here. My controversial opinion is that this is a very strong side.

Likewise. I even have a soft spot for Death is a Star.Silent Majority wrote: ↑10 Apr 2019, 1:46pmI think ObF is the weak link here. My controversial opinion is that this is a very strong side.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: ROUND 6 - Combat Rock - Side Two
Never liked Atom Tan much. It's lumpy and leaden, never really gets off the ground.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I know. It's me, not everyone else.

Re: ROUND 6 - Combat Rock - Side Two
Oh, man, Death is a Star is going to go. I love that "song."
Re: ROUND 6 - Combat Rock - Side Two
OBF has really grown on me over the years. I grew up in the 'CD Age' and always felt the segue from STH to OBF was too much until I realized OBF is a fresh start for the second half of the album.

You could always pause the CD and turn it over (twice).101Walterton wrote: ↑10 Apr 2019, 3:54pmYes interesting point how CD’s interfered with tracklisting.

Re: ROUND 6 - Combat Rock - Side Two
I used to try to skip it right before it came on, but it would usually get the jump on me as I had trouble anticipating the end of the protracted STH fade out. Those first few synth stabs were like nails on a chalkboard.Heston wrote: ↑10 Apr 2019, 3:56pmYou could always pause the CD and turn it over (twice).101Walterton wrote: ↑10 Apr 2019, 3:54pmYes interesting point how CD’s interfered with tracklisting.

Yes but those who aren’t dinosaurs wouldn’t know where the break was designed to be.Heston wrote: ↑10 Apr 2019, 3:56pmYou could always pause the CD and turn it over (twice).101Walterton wrote: ↑10 Apr 2019, 3:54pmYes interesting point how CD’s interfered with tracklisting.
