Has anyone else ever noticed how the singing duties were split on the band? Roger always sang the "happy" or "up" songs (Dreamer, It's raining again, Breakfast in America" etc), while Rick took care of the more serious, "down" songs (Just another nervous wreck, Bloody well right, and so on) --- not really that surprising then that when Roger left, the next four albums were, for the most part, devoid of any fun (or hit singles).
I did like parts of "Some things never change", but I hated "Slow motion", was more or less indifferent to "Brother where you bound", and the less said, really, about "Free as a bird", the better...
