BoB in studio: Guys, guys, forget Of The Earth, it's not bringing any new fans in, trust me, I know. SBM is what you need, people will be drooling all over it, it's Black all over again, fact!
Aaaaargh!!!

I'll wait to hear it to be properly annoyed. You just know whatever they bumped for it was the best song from the session or something.
It's slightly frustrating that a lot of people hate it but nobody can articulate why so far. "Because it's on Uke Songs and something better could've replaced it" isn't really a great review of what it actually sounds like.
If you look at it one way, the "Uke" version could technically be the demo that Ed brought to the band

I find it hard to believe there's no electrical ducts or wiring in that area between the switch and wall light.

There's no band version of that song, right?
Wait, didn't I post a Youtube link? I know I mean to.
Sorry, hard day at work.
It's not by PJ, btw, but it sounds good:

I'm sure it's been mentioned but the full band Setting Forth and Can' Keep versions are superior to the Ed solo versions. I am not sold on this sucking.*

It's as likely as anything. In my mind, Ed writes plenty of songs on uke. Uke Songs is a bunch of song sketches the fans asked him to release, he wasn't going to initially.

Oh, this. Yeah it's not PJ and I really don't think it works at all from this band. Sorry.

Once you stop thinking of it as a PJ song, it works

I need to think of it as a PJ song for it to work on any level, because this band is terrible.

It would work if PJ played it and it doesn't because PJ isn't.

I think the compromise they made here was to make the album 12 songs instead of the 11 we got on BS. I see this as BoB and only BoB overpowering the band on this one. He certainly came out right on Betterman, we'll see here.

SBM is *far* more likely to be gold than FD.

Id say that is the most likely case, not kicking another song off and replacing it with sbm, the just added it to what was gonna be an 11 track album

I don't know why, but I can't see the "SBM" abbreviation without it translating in my mind to "suck-a by malls."
