i dunno about the other one but 'freak of the week' singlehandedly destroys just about anything they've done since then.
i really love that tack, but i can see how it doesnt sit right with the rest of surrender.
b-sides are generally the gems that were too different to sit coherently with the rest of the album or they were to coward to try to make it fit. so it gets put on the singles because they're quality tunes regardless.
so b-sides are really where you see the more experimental or different side of them, and are often pretty damn rewarding.
so i'd ask who in their right mind doesn't look forward to the b-sides if they like the album?
