it's a particularly broken performance in a style where the power in the vocal performance stands in opposition to the hurt in the lyrics.

Yeah, this

I've always been a fan of the song and performance too. I get why people don't like it either though. Like Strat said, Ed's performance works here for me. But I can see it being interpreted as either sad, brittle and vulnerable .... or, it was recorded at the end of the day after 100 takes of Comatose and 2 packs of cigs.

I don't mind the studio "Speed of Sound," but the demo version is definitely superior.

As if they've ever bothered to do more than a handful of takes of anything in the past 15 years...

I'm sorry, Mr. Davis but it is "definitely" not true.

I still love "The End" and think it's one of the best things Ed's ever written.

I love the demo version of Gone. Of course, I love the album version of Gone, too. My only issue with Gone is that I liked the preciousness of it being a Christmas Single Demo only. Putting it on the album took away some part of what made it special. I liked the idea of having another original song on an xmas single.

But that's just dumb sentimentality.

The music of Ole is great. But the lyrics are typical PRAMG clunky and awful.

And AtW is just, horrible.
