Train In Vain is perfect. I'm Not Down is great but has that stupid bit where it goes to 3/4 time. I thought I had a dodgy copy when I first heard it.
Not exactly 3/4, but the syncopated beat is a bit messy.
I don't speak Drummer, but thought it went into a quick 3/4 beat, happy to be corrected.
Around the 1:00 mark? It's the one accented 4/4 beat that's real close to 3/4. I wish I could write out the notation for the visual, but it's like the 1 beat, and of 2, and 4.
x x x
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
Blah, it didn't line up right, but the x should be over 1, 2+, 4.
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.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

But 4H goes into the bridge before even the one minute mark and it goes on forever. It's their "Love In an Elevator."
At 3:05 IND is the 5th shortest song on the album, at 2:55 4H is the 4th. I think both get it just about right on that score.
I meant the early and long ass bridge is awesome! Like Love in an Elevator.

AHAHAHAHAHA! That makes more sense. Yeah, I just think 4H is a bit slight. I think James said something like it should have been a GEER track, which I agree with, although I don't necessarily think of that as an insult. Coulda used a beefier "metal" production tho.

I went with the one that has the better cover version. The Thea Gilmour "I'm Not Down > Annie Lennox's TIV.

I agree. RR is a solid song - even if it is a cover. I always thought Joe did a pretty good job of making it his own.

Yes that Thea Gilmore track is cool.

Possibly the best result so far. Well deserved win.
