I've listened to " The First Word That Comes to Mind" so many times since they broke up, Jesus.
It's like I'm constantly comparing it to "Three".
Like:
"Three" is good; the little triplet verse section with guitar/viola at 2:20 is so catchy, the intro goes with the subject matter so much better, the "in the sand" part is a lot clearer and the guitar climax is a lot cleaner, but...
"First Word..." is just so raw!!!!!!
Beautiful!
The one thing I don't like about the re-make of "First Word..." is the saxophone in the introduction; most horrible saxophone playing I've ever heard.
I know it's supposed to sound impulsive and free but it's just bad.
Um.
Portrait - "Once An Englishman"
Ampere/Antioch Arrow - "Conspiring the Go-Go"
I Would, etc. - "Eight" and "Nine" and "Eleven" and... rest of album.
