R&K have said that "Biro/Burnout" was one of the songs that took the longest to complete in their career. We know it's been kicking around since at least 2002. That said, i agree with K0S, that BB is one of their epic tracks. In fact, if it was placed first on the LP and a lil longer, well, i won't say it's on par with Juanita, but it's dang impressive.
OWB has its share of short, what the heck are they doing moments, some successful like "To Heal", others a bit superfluous "Good Morning Cockerel" and "Cuddle Bunny vs the Celtic Villages" could be dropped without me missing them). But still a lot of really strong material. "Faxed Invitation" is just so smooth, and "Glam Bucket" gives me shivvers.
Negative1, i do see your point on the UW remixes. The What Dog and video edit for BB give it a bt more punch but stay true to the original, which is not what the boys used to do for their own remixes (Pearls Girl, Cowgirl, and especially Dark & Long remixes were so much like separate new tracks). So maybe we were a bit spoiled by their past, and they haven't really done remixes for a while. Hopefully more planned for the future?
Short story...since Lovely Broken Thing in 05, i think the band has been loosening up and trying great new things. Not everything will appeal to those raised on STITI or Dubno, but it's still the music i'd prefer to listen to over most everything else!
