Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
I will agree both Dog in a Satellite and Electric Vandal are better than Ticket. But Limbo is a great track.Heston wrote: ↑14 Aug 2020, 5:10pmLimbo especially never clicked with me, and Ticket was b-side material at best.

Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
Dial A Hitman is great beginning to end. Ticket isn’t my favorite, and Limbo is good but not great. Dog in a Satellite would have been preferable, if indeed it was “ready” to go (seeing as they never did finish it). Tighten Up has a couple lesser tracks as well.

Dial a Hitman always seemed a bit forced to me. Can't touch anything on the debut. The phone call was good.

Yeah the whole album is good just needs a different mix.

Stalag 123 came on the playlist earlier, beauty of a track. Not a bad album really, bit of fat that could have been trimmed but overall, a very pleasant listen.

Finally growing on you?
Agreed about the fat trimming but a remarkably cohesive album.

Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
Around the Girl is my favourite on the album. I can't remember what won in the recent BAD poll. I think it was Contact but that song is way overrated for me.BitterTom wrote: ↑17 Aug 2020, 1:16pmDidn't like it the first few listens but got to a stage where I thought it was ok. Now it's a good listen. Loved Stalag and Around The Girl however from the first listen.

One thing I'm learning is that this board is disappointingly attached to singles. It's like TRL in here.Heston wrote: ↑17 Aug 2020, 1:21pmAround the Girl is my favourite on the album.

New BAD II recording from Australia on Youtube. Posted from the BAD Facebook group, the guy said he just recently found the tape he recorded, and in the comments mentions he has another one to post from the same tour.
