Really solid post, Spin. Thanks for the shout out to Snoopy here. Glad you used Come Undone for the closing--honestly had forgotten that track a bit, and it feeds further into D^2 searching for a new identity. Just think. 1993 - Too Much Information. A song at the cutting edge of the information age. Pre-Internet, and honestly probably more applicable today than it even was when released. Prescient. We disagree a tad on Breath after Breath, but I am sentimental--my dad was doing a lot of consulting in Brazil when that broke. Great point about making a love letter to fans in that market as it grew. Ordinary World--there are two versions and I think it makes a difference. The guitar solo is moved for the radio version, and it makes the song feel rushed and overproduced. Album version FTW. Circle takes the square. Love what you're doing, man.
