This from the woman who opened her first solo album with "Bella Donna"?

And, in my opinion, Lindsey's judgement was completely off. By placing "Murrow" and "Illume" as the second and third tracks, he made the album top-heavy. He should have built up to the "dark" songs.

I like "Illume" up toward the front, but I agree that "Murrow" should be further back. When I made my CD of Gift of Screws songs, I had "Murrow" squarely in the middle - kind of where "Come" is on SYW - and "Come" toward the end.
Part of me thinks that the running order for SYW could never have been perfect on a single CD. It's just too long of an album, and it's difficult to maintain that kind of flow. I usually skip around the album as well when I'm listening to it.
