My adoration for "Over and Over" is unwavering. I've also been spinning "Brown Eyes" and "What Makes You Think You're The One?" a lot these days.
I would like to retract any comments I made on the previous thread about the superiority of certain Camper Van Beethoven versions of the songs over the originals. I was so, so wrong.

I've seen so many things that made me wonder But sometimes its hard to tell I said "Take your time" But no one was listening I walk a thin line
They told me that I never would recover Still some say they knew me well I said "Stay by my side" But no one said nothin' I walk a thin line
I said "Please toe the line" But no one was listening I walk a thin line
I said "Fate takes time" But no one was listening I walk a thin line

oh ilxpaws
could say that about almost any track tbh xp, but then you'd have an entirely different album. Not 'Sisters of the Moon' though, the production there could not have been improved upon.
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 2 August 2009 22:08 (fourteen years ago) link
well, I know I'm Not Wrong strikes me especially because the big hook in that song is totally covered up in the mix (compare with track five of the demos disc). you just get a hint of it and then for some reason Buckingham decides to get all Glenn Gould and cover it up even more with some lackluster scatting

Well I'm only just starting side 3, but this is really amazing. I grew up with parents playing Rumors and later a greatest hits thing, so I'd kinda always thought I'd heard all the Mac I'd ever need. I WAS WRONG. This is great great. Loving "What Makes You Think You're the One" so much right now.

I'm just now coming to this album too. I love the use of alternating wide open spaces and claustrophobic sound spatialization in the production. "Walk a Thin Line" is the sound of driving home at 4 AM and trying not to asleep at the wheel.

And "Sara" is gorgeous of course but I try not to play it too much so that it retains its mystery.

corey otm about the wavering between openness and claustrophobia, I think that really is a key to why I'm enjoying this so much. I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying the "punkier" Buckingham tunes.

Well, if you truly believe that it's a better composition/song than 'Don't Stop', 'Songbird' or even 'Oh Daddy' (which is my least favourite song on Rumours by some considerable distance) then, y'know, you're entitled to think that, as utterly batshit as that stance is. Nobody, absolutely nobody sees a copy of Tusk and thinks "fuck me! I just have to listen to 'Honey Hi'"! 'Sara', undoubtedly. 'Walk A Thin Line', 'That's All For Everyone' ... yeah, I could see it. 'Honey Hi'? No fucking way. Inessential, airy fluff at best.
