It still puzzles me.
This album is too short!
Just a few weeks before release they had to cut 5 songs and put it all on one disc. The frickin' constructive idea behind this record, how it grew through time, was brutally ruined! And then we have the finishing of the record and the friction about the running order through telephone! So cohesiveness: I am sure that cut in two pieces and 5 songs added, there would have been more cohesiveness. And on a double-album, nobody would have talked about a record that was too long, I think.
So that's my critic towards the band: They did not fight against WB enough, like in the old Tusk-days. But then again, they had a somewhat stronger position back then....
