2.4.08

I have a proposal. I, like many, was not impressed with A Ghost Is Born. Part of the problem was that it came after Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, an album which, as a matter of objective fact, cannot be topped. By anyone. A Ghost Is Born is a lot like Hail to the Thief in that a band found a successful formula and took it too far, thought about it too much or too little; maybe passed their peak (this did not happen with Radiohead). I think Ghost has good songs on it, but a big part of the problem is the sequencing. It sucks. It's slow and poorly balanced. It is also too long. So I would like to offer a new order for the album. For the sake of being up tight I didn't get rid of any songs, though Less Than You Think would be a candidate. Skip less than you think if you want.


1.Muzzle Of Bees
2.Hummingbird
3.Handshake Drugs
4.Wishful Thinking
5.The Late Greats
6.Company In My Back
7.Hell Is Chrome
8.Theologians
(9.Less Than You Think)
10.I'm A Wheel
11.At Least That's What You Said
12.Spiders (Kidsmoke)

Yes, I am going to make a Nude remix.
