“Yard of Blonde Girls” is an awesome song. I guess he didn’t write it, but one verse is about him(?)

“Gunshot Glitter” isn’t on this poll, but that one’s kind of amazing:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQiom9uRKogIt’s like the best Strokes song that the Strokes never made, or could make, or something…

I wonder why he wasn’t happy with these recordings… like what sound did he have in his head that he was trying to achieve. Some artists work very hard trying to make an album that approaches this quality!

yeah it's hard to know. the finished tracks on this certainly sound very acceptably finished.

iirc from books I've read, he just felt the downward pressure from Columbia and doubted himself greatly, he wanted to work with Tom Verlaine producing and the experience yielded four of the tracks but I don't think that went very well overall.
