A perfectly fine full band rendition of the song, but wholly unnecessary on the album.

Exactly. It's just a bit meh.

I'm not sure how it's any more unnecessary than anything else. Is anyone hearing any coherence to this thing that getting rid of one or two tracks would enhance?

I kind of love it. *shrug*

I prefer the quiter bit before it kicks in, but then just when the kicking in gets too annoying, it changes to ukulele. Woop.

Hmm. I get what you're saying. I'm using personal taste as opposed to fitting on an album.

My fears regarding this song were completely unnecessary. This is pretty cool.

Yeah, and for me when you're releasing a "new" version of an already known/released song ... there better be a really good reason. I just don't see that reason here. Its' not adding anything to a coherent album narrative and it's not so amazingly good or different or new that it demands to be heard.

Really, this is what B-sides are for.

My opinion...

A mistake.

Oh, and fuck you, O'Brien.

Oh hell yeah, it is. I just hope it will stay this good with repeated listens. TIME WILL TEEEELLL

Where is this "coherent album narrative"?

At this point, Im just glad I didn't really listen to Ukelele songs. Song is relatively new to me, so hearing a fair bit of cool things in it. B-Side to me. But not too bad regardless.

That was my point. There's not one, so it's not like this track is here because it does anything for the record.

Are these the shuffling drums you wanted, harmless? I dig them.

Yeah but they're all so different; which tracks *do* do anything for the record. That's what I meant. There's no coherent narrative precisely because not a single song feels part of a coherent tracklist. So I don't get the idea that it's good, but shouldn't be on here. None of the songs *belong* on here.

They're good. Not quite the brush work I wanted, but they're good and tasteful. They work. And I like the louder snare stabs, giving the whole thing a Kings of Leon feel.
