You'll like his new one then, it's a tidy 45 mins. And it's great!

from the pitchfork interview:
My wife Kathleen wanted to do 12 three-minute songs. Get in, get out. No fucking around. Because people don't have a lot of time. The way I think is more like, "Oh, you got time for 19 songs on there? Put 19 songs on there, baby." She says," No, no, no. Twelve." Like the eggs, 12. You can do a lot in two minutes. So I'm starting to get more economical as I go. Don't overstate, don't restate.

Dug the new one as well, having only heard it once. A nice condensation of his schtick - and I mean that in the best possible way.

Thirded. Like it on first listen, which isn't always the case with his albums.

The newly remixed version of Real Gone is, believe it or not, worth everyone's time. Everything that dragged this album down (beat-boxing, slightly harsh production) has been toned down and a few subtle tweaks here and there make for a much better listen

Abrasive production is why I like it tbh but interested to hear this

oh wow this sounds WAY different from the original mix, way more of an overhaul than I was expecting

xp I definitely prefer the new version of HTR with the trumpet intro, just lifts it a bit

I'd have liked some deep, subtle horns added to 'How's It Going To End'. Have to say, other than HTR, the rest of the changes are a lot more subtle. Or what else am I missing? It's been a little while since I listened to the original.
