Isn't it bizarre that Mike also wrote Faithfull, arguably the band's best song?

They probably felt bad for him and included it.

I don't think it's nearly as bad as it's made out to be.
But I REALLY wish Cold Confession had made the record instead of one of those.
You mean that really boring out take that really doesn't go anywhere?

Cold Confession sounds like it could have fit in on the back half of the album nicely with Army Reserve.stip wrote:I'd rather listen to Inside Job than Unemployable, and possibly gone and/or big wave.Django Butterworth wrote:I guess to me there are a lot of other songs I'd rather have omitted from records other than Inside Job.

Cold Confession sounds like it wound up right where it should have. On the cut pile.
There, I fixed it for you.

Re: I Have Never Listened To The Avocado Album
It is a little boring but it has some pretty interesting parts, especially with speaker splits between the guitars. I hear more potential in it than I do the final version of Inside Job.Django Butterworth wrote:darth_vedder wrote:Cold Confession sounds like it could have fit in on the back half of the album nicely with Army Reserve.stip wrote:I'd rather listen to Inside Job than Unemployable, and possibly gone and/or big wave.Django Butterworth wrote:I guess to me there are a lot of other songs I'd rather have omitted from records other than Inside Job.

I think Mike is the writer I like the least, bracketing Given to Fly and Mind Your Manners. What else has he written solo?

Re: I Have Never Listened To The Avocado Album
I am fairly sure Mike didn't write the words to "Faithfull." No small asterisk there.

Re: I Have Never Listened To The Avocado Album
Ohh, I do love those last two songs. Present Tense is good too. I need to revise my opinion
(although FoN is great despite Mike's writing)

I believe he wrote everything for Last Soldier, as well, which is a really nice song.
