Listening to these has been really interesting. TOSOTM was my favorite Stevie album for a long time, but I was surprised by these. There's a lot of darkness in the vocal arrangements that doesn't come through on the finished album aside from maybe the chorus of "Whole Lotta Trouble." pete said it sounds like the girls didn't have much fun recording these, and that's the quality 'm referring to. I just have a different impression.
I haven't listened to them all yet, but the chorus of "Rooms On Fire" really freaked me out the first time. Very eerie.
