to redeem myself, let me just say that i love every track up until that point. "glam bucket" owns me. verdict is still out on everything following.

i agree with 95% of this.
river of bass is great.

but boy boy is beyond terrible.
when i mixd my own version for work (i wanted to put the phonestrap/loads of birds/autotrader combo) i deleted boy boy boy to make room for autostrap.
hate that song
HATE THAT SONG.

it only makes sense when i found later on that the hideous apparatus of U2 had touched it.

it's okay. consistently, there's always one song on each album that i find completely unlistenable. an inexplicable low point in the play list. BF is the only one that didn't follow that pattern.

so i was expecting it, and i'm fine with it, and i can move on.

it's funny how a group of fanboys/girls can differ so drastically in their take on a band's catalog.

whoops i just realized i misspoke. STITI is the only one that didn't follow that pattern. i disliked "something like a mama" on BF.

In some respects reminds me of Underneath the Radar-ish GLORY GLOORY GLOOORY GLORAAAYYYY! BOOY BOOY BOoooY.

I was playing with OWB DVD today...this time it made me realize that we could have gotten more out of it. I'm really dissapointed of the galleries/slide shows. Only a few pictures?

One of the few bright spots on it is the Rez video. That thing is enchanting.

My sentiments exactly! Karl (who`s voice/poetic lyrics sound amazing in other contexts) sounds like a country "hick" on Boy, Boy, Boy! IMO, it sounds like a redneck attempt at something in the vein of electronic music (along the same lines as Trim)!

The instrumental sounds fine until the vocals start!

R&K should keep this type of experimental rubbish to River Run Releases!!!

Note: I`m not putting down the RR stuff. Actually, I loved it! I just think this was a more appropriate medium for squeezing in flaky tracks like Boy, Boy, Boy.

I thought the video was great for the couple extra bucks...There's always the other alternative.

The GMC video is cool.

okay, i could have not gotten the dvd, but as far as missed opportunities go, i'd say this is definitely one of them.

but yeah, the GMC vid is the coolest part about it.
