I like the stripped back approach to AALY. I've never hated the song myself, but it's a bit too dolled up, if anyone knows what I mean by that. And I like the briefly extended piano intro on RSOW. The guitar solo however is sorely missed. Leaves a big hole. Speaking of an extended piano intro though, here's the song live from '03...
...I kind of wish it had been recorded in a similar fashion in studio. Why not show off Dave's talent on record. I thought the same on The Circle tour when Jon and Richie would trade solo's on Thorn In My Side. Lay that down in the studio!
