I just came up with a re-tracking I'm gonna take for a spin. I lost two songs that I hate (IAM and TMW), and threesongs that I like well enough, but sort of kill the momentum for me (Green Disease, Bu$hleaguer, Arc). Added the three outtakes where it made the most sense.

Can't Keep
Save You
Love Boat Captain
Cropduster
Ghost
You Are
Undone
Get Right
Help Help
Other Side
1/2 Full
Down
All or None

So this was a big fail. The transition from Ghost -> You Are was great; I really didn't miss IAM and TMW at all. But the inclusion of the outtakes was just awkward. I can't imagine any other spots where they would work well. I think the band made the right choice in leaving them off the record.

Take this for a spin.... This was how I grouped the riot act era tracks in a multi-disc anthology type collection I put together. It's how I listen to my studio PJ now

Down has no business being on this record. It is too damn happy.

[bodysnatcher]

yeah, it's a good b-side. i've never really loved that track other than the idea that it's non-album

[chewm]

I absolutely love Down.

[Wendy Carlos's Twin]

I absolutely love Down.

I always loved the vibe of Warren Zevon's "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" as a kid, and I think "Down" might be a nod to that song, or else it's a hell of a lot like it. So I don't think I could ever dislike it.

"Down" is probably akin to "Everybody Hurts" in Joey's eyes

You're goddamn right.
