This may be a tad bit controversial, but "Baby's On Fire"always struck me as sort of meandering.. and considering how awesome the rest of the album is it's pretty easily the worst;

"Faraway Beach" however, belongs on "Another Green World" so it gets the axe here.

needles - makes me bob my head uncontrollably like wayne and garth. covered finely by volcano suns, which has same effect
paw paw - the long break, the phased guitar, the completely different sonic flavor of 'send for an ambulance..." verse
cindy - couldn't part with the buzzsaw guitar solo intro
dead finks - oh cheeky cheeky - oh perfect masters - need I say more?
here come the warm jets - because it's so much more than it seems. drums falling out of sync. guitar/synth combo sounding both balls-out hard and kind of background at the same time. the idea of ending an album with a song that doesn't resolve a friggin thing.

Should there be a time limit? After X-hours if an album has not been further reduced by any takers it shall be considered boiled-down?

heh, I actually think of it the same way, but that's actually the reason why it feels like such an album-closing song to me. I mean, it seems strange to me that a song that feels like it will continue long after the record is over would be anything but the last track!
― aaron d.g. (aaron d.g.), Friday, 23 September 2005 21:10 (eighteen years ago) link
What I meant, I think, is it is such the antithesis of the Big Rock Ending, the big final chord or cutoff. The anti-Day-In-The-Life ending.
It's the ending that refuses to end.
Okay after that much discussion if this doesn't boil down to title track = essence I'll be sad.

It's easiest to ax "King of Pain" (considering that I get perverse pleasure from "Mother" and don't want to be the one to pull it), it's depressing and a little plodding.

Unless anyone objects, I'm reviving here:
1. Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)2. Crosseyed And Painless3. The Great Curve4. Once In A Lifetime5. House In Motion6. Seen And Not Seen7. Listening Wind8. The Overload
While I'm tempted to remove the last track since it's the only one you can't somehow dance to, it's way more interesting than #7, which is catchy and sweet but never seemed worthy of the rest of the album. so...

I for one never followed the 'worst' line of thinking, or maybe took it as "the worst in terms of fitting the pure essence criteria." I actually think there are probably some very good albums whose 'essence' song might be among the worst tracks! Like, "Four Sticks" might actually be it for Zoso.

Yeah, Doctor C, it was clear to me from your comment on Five Years that you were thinking about this in exactly the right way.
But instead of acknowledging you, I chose to pout, harrumph and take my ball home because some of the other boys were being mean to songs i like.
