Cool shit!

I do think about what I'd fix and change as I listen to the album, in fact just before I happened by your thread I was trying to work out a better track order for the album (I find most of their albums in the decade to be poorly tracked.) Hey, at least it's something I can do since I can't very well go and start laying down vocal tracks over Jon's to demonstrate how I'd do it if I could.

Anyway, I'd take what you guys did and hbybrid it with the actual band track arrangement, particularly the main riff you have going at the beginning. The combo of the two would make the song bigger and ballsier and a more fitting 2nd track.

I particularly appreciate the fact you two got together, bonded, and wound up getting creative by putting your energy into "what would we do to make this song how we'd like it?" That communicates the mostly clear way possible that you both do like the album in some form. I'd love to sit in and be part of that if I could.

I agree with you both that the album could be made better, no doubt. I just personally love the blueprint of what you have with the album and frankly, there is not much I'd change lyrically because it was very much a case of "oh thank christ, finally!" I stand by my love for this album, however, the ideas you present in this song alone such as the guitar bridge before the 2nd verse, spotlight that. Excellent work and thanks for sharing!
