Otm. Love that little piano lick on the chorus

Beware of Mr. Blecch, er...what? (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 17 October 2019 12:09 (four years ago) link

Voted for the closer. Devastating.

Voted for 'A Distorted Reality Is Now a Necessity to Be Free' - but gotta say the 45 version (some different lyrics/mix) kicks the LP version's ass.

same

“Hakuna Matata,” a nihilist philosophy (One Eye Open), Thursday, 17 October 2019 13:58 (four years ago) link

my favorite has always been "a fond farewell," but "memory lane" and "king's crossing" are close behind.

strong agree that the 7" version of "distorted" is superior.

I don’t even remember voting in this poll but I probably voted for Twilight.

as long as we're talking ES + as long as i mentioned "king's crossing," this live version is the definitive one for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiBTykpkT9E

so good

all other live versions of King's Crossing I've heard are really shaky performance wise
