McParadigm wrote:'I can feel like I put away my early grave' is a pretty key lyric on an album that is ostensibly more playful and upbeat than most, but also full of songs about final goodbyes, the need to change, and frustration.
It's a terribly boring song as far as I'm concerned. But it's probably needed to tie those two extremes together, and credit to them for not lazily repeating either the verse or a chorus section under the solo.
Goddamn, McP, what happened? You get laid last night? Or find a really good Oreo shake or what?
For me it is Lightspacer

i think this is the direction Ed was trying to take the band on LB, but he just couldn't quite get there when it came time to hit 'record':

Even with no contender there'd be no FD.
So BS 7, LB 4.
Not counting track 12:
Gonna See My Friend
Mind Your Manners (favorite from either session)
The Fixer
Johnny Guitar or Sirens (depends on the day - quite like both)
Lightning Bolt
Amongst the Waves or infallible (depends on the day - quite like both)
Pendulum
Swallowed Whole
Speed of Sound
Force of Nature (second favorite from either session)
Yellow Moon
GSMF or Getaway... man... Even with Ed's clunky and misplaced Italian, I suppose I'll go with GSMF.
Got Some or Mind Your Manners.... I love both of these songs. Got Some is close to the best song on BS. Mind Your Manners is in the top 5 on LB. Gonna go with MYM here.
The Fixer v My Father's Son... Again, love 'em both. But My Father's Son.
Johnny Guitar v Sirens... God, that's tough. Could change day to day. I think Sirens is more gooey and sentimental and I like gooey and sentimental. Johnny Guitar has some great (maybe the best latter-day Ed) imagery. Tough, tough call... I'll go Sirens
Just Breathe v Lightning Bolt... hahahahahahahahahaha! Just Breathe. OF COURSE.
Amongst the Waves v Infallible... can't decide. Both are awesome. I'm keeping both of them.
Unthought Known v Pendulum.... Another no brainer. Pendulum by a country mile.
Super Sonic v Swallowed Whole... Not a big fan of either of these. Since I kept both AtW and Infallible earlier, I'll eliminate both of these here.
Speed of Sound v Let the Records Play... Speed of Sound, easily.
Force of Nature v Sleeping by Myself ... I hate Force of Nature, so... SBM
The End v Yellow Moon... Yellow Moon all goddamn day long, team. All. Day. LONG.
So...

If I were going to make a mix of songs from those albums, I would track it like this:
The End
The Fixer
Mind Your Manners
Just Breathe
Force of Nature
Sleeping By Myself
Gonna See My Friend
Johnny Guitar
I like The Fixer as a response to The End, and MYM's overblown politicizing feels more playful when coming off of an optimistic song about fixing the world and yourself.
Up until the last track, each of these feels like a good response to the song that precedes it, to me. Content wise, anyway. It starts to feel like a narrative of sorts.

Fun.
I have no idea how I would actually try to compose this kind of thing. I do like the name BackBolt more than LightSpacer, though.

I was trying to put together a BS/LB album as well, this gives me some good ideas on the tracking.
