Well I don't know if this "I have a friend, who..." story the guy tells is true. Possibly he just tended to annoy some people, who knows? It's hardly possible to criticise something you don`t even know. The GOS stuff was brilliant in my opinion and the "no more relevant" -quote sounds pretty much like prejudice.
But another question comes to my mind. Is the album probably getting more pop- orientated and less edgie than we thought after listening to GOS and regarding the "new envelop" quotes from Mick?
Bleed to love her (not on my GOS version as it was a FM live song we knew), Peacekeeper (like it a lot, now seems to be less edgie than before), Steal yhaway, Miranda (not on my GOS, didn`t like it)... A little safe...? What do you think/expect
