"A Tear" and "WDR" sound good together one behind the other, so I think it was intentional, and it doesn't seem lazy to me in this case, because despite sharing those similarities, they are radically opposite. It even feels like an answer,""A Tear" is like a fall, and "WDR" is like the rise. This works for me.

Life is Beatiful, it's different, it was possibly the oldest song of the three, but I think it just doesn't do it a favor to have been included in the same album as these two songs. Despite everything, it doesn't bother me, and they are better worked and inspired songs than some of the ones we finally get on in official albums.

Maybe my problem about Burning Bridges album could be other songs, but definitely not these three despite the similarities.
