Invaluable Nonbinosaur Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Fallen Interlude is such a forgettable, mess of a midpoint, Not Now definitely should have been on the record over it. Fuck remove Down and Fallen Interlude completely for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cum Back Tom Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 I think the records fine without Not Now but it is hard not to think about adding it..I think last song could work? Lost Without You is probably my least favorite song song on it, but it still fits pretty well.. Swapping Asthenia would be tough..but could you imagine Asthenia as the infamous greatest hits single? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thongrider Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 I can get behind Down. I'll keep FT for the bridge and outro only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'd have to go with Down..the song isn't essential for the flow of the album and neither is Not Now imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last song definitely works. That's cause I've always known it as the last song on the album due to living in the UK but it definitely fits in after I'm Lost Without You. I know that song was supposed to be the album closer but there's just something fitting about Not Now being the last song Maybe it's the subject matter about dying and stuff. It just really fits. I've always loved that Ghost on the Dance Floor coincidentally follows on from that subject matter by being the first track of the following album. Obviously they never meant that but I've always loved that coincidence 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Easy Target, Asthenia, Here's Your Letter, Violence, Stockholm, All of this...these are all essential to the album..all sound similar but different enough. Down or Always needa go, and we aren't getting rid of Always. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down or Always needa go, and we aren't getting rid of Always. Yeah I do agree. It has a more upbeat vibe to it more along the lines of Feeling This tbh yet at the same time sounds completely different. I do think Down is the weakest track of the album but if that goes I think it'd mean Fallen Interlude would have to go as well. Those two songs seem to complement each other kinda like Easy Target/All of This. I literally think the album is a 10/10 though. It's the perfect album for me and as much as I love Not Now and prefer it over half of the songs on the album, it just doesn't really fit with the other songs IMO. I think that's why it works as a closer as it's not contrasting with the other songs as much. Kinda like how Feeling This works as the opener If I'd replace one song with Not Now, I guess i'd choose I'm Lost Without You which is a difficult choice cause I love the drum solo at the end haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Kyle_ Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Not Now is a song you leave off and hold onto for other reasons (bonus track, soundtrack). Usually the fourth single is "that" song. It's a good strategy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knapppers Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Man the bridge in the Rock Show is truly amazing. It really doesn't ever get mentioned enough. Rewind the song and listen to it over and over anytime the song comes up 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree it's definitely overplayed on their live sets It's really a shame they don't do extended bridges or outros for songs like Down, The Rock Show, Stay Together for the Kids etc the way they used to If they kept doing shit like that I'd never be against them putting all their hits into their set list 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still do improvise and stuff like on the outro of Down and I Miss You but it's nowhere near as good as what we were all hearing back in 2004 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
