Re: The Misterons Rowla/Cherry Jam
As for Beaucoup Fish, it was always the silliest of the three classics, especially in the back half, but it's the one i started with, so some part of me still loves it most. Despite my post above i have the total opposite view on how Push Upstairs went down. I'll stan the original version over the subsequent stripping down of it post-emerson. i don't understand how that's a more vital interpretation of what's on the album, which hits that sweet spot between groove and dissonance.
Another fan favorite I had difficulty getting behind was Jumbo. i appreciate its juxtaposition of medicine ball squelch and euphoric tropes, but it never carried me away like it did for literally everyone else, and i spent a lot of time skipping it until i saw it live for myself.
