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.

I gave it a fresh listen and it's one of those tracks I've probably underappreciated. It's really pretty good. The chorus is good, but the production is a bit lacking.BitterTom wrote: ↑22 Apr 2019, 2:31pmAgree very much with sentence 1.
