if these were bundled as 'volume one of phoenix sessions', i'd totally drop a hundy for these three on vinyl
Yeah they could easily sell this 3-pack for over a hundy. Each one a 2xLP most liklely, probably looking at $129 at least for the set. (Would pay)
Futures and Clarity are perfect. I've learned to appreciate the moments off CTL, IB, and Invented that I wasnt big on that was surrounded by pure brilliance. BA is also incredibly made but Get It Faster is probs my least fav post Clarity song. Surviving is consistently good but only a handful of top tier songs so it doesn't touch my favorites. Damage is just good.
Good song musically but the lyrics are distractingly bad "They'll say 'All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice'" no Jim, no they won't say that, no one has ever said that Very, very clunky song for a band with not many of those
Believe it or not, song lyrics are not always written to sound like normal everyday speech. Doesn’t make them “clunky.”
seriously though, while that song has a lot of lyrical blunders, "psychic screaming" is a goldmine of a phrase. such a good pair of words
Well, I'm on record saying Big Casino is my favorite song of theirs, so you can probably guess my thoughts on this lol. Gotta Be Somebody's Blues is a song I have always dug for some reason. I will always listen to that.
In the "CTL lyrics that are better than anyone else" category. You said you'd never have regrets Jesus, is there someone yet Who got their wish; did you get yours, babe?
Maybe I’m just biased since I was there, but I still prefer the Clarityx10 recording over the Phoenix Sessions. I do love the video though. That adds a lot. I wish the Clarityx10 show was on streaming too!
