This is the rare example of an album I've only ever put on for every reason but the singer and songwriter.

I like the session dudes. For example, the song you picked is not a good song, but the drum part (by Manu Katche) is cool on its own merits.

Two of the tracks have the weird proggy rhythm section of Tony Levin and Terry Bozzio (!)
Something I'm not sure of, but I think RR started working with Lanois *before* Joshua Tree or So came out, which is an interesting dynamic, especially since there was that trend jumping vibe to this record's release.
