I'm with you. Frankly, i think this track just keeps geting better. And with each version, there's some amount of resistance on my part to the change (for example, when they first added the "I'm a big sister" lyrics, i didn't care for it; the rolling bass that came with the last radio version, the staccato strings of this latest offering)...but they all grew on me pretty quickly, and this version still has the original spirit. They might be getting close to overdoing it (i'm still not sure about the strings, since they're present lmost throughout), but it's still a rockin' track.

I don't like this version of ALAF at all. I agree with King Of Snake, the bassline in the very early version was what made the song so nice.

i like the new version, but the VERY first is still my fave. the one in the video of Karl turning the pages of "In the Belly of Saint Paul". THAT one really grooved.

And also, the cymbals on the kickdrums are kinda ugly, I have never really understood why producers think that sounds good. But that's just my opinion

YES! I just watched that again last night after listening to this new version again. I'd love to see that version of the track live in video form be put up on the audio archive to show the initial version.

Could we please see that at some point?
