guys I love this song. And "Young Offender."

Actually "Young Offender" is even more Electronic-esque than "Times Change"

is the oboe by Kate St. John?

Yeah, I forgot to say: classic.
I always loved the pre-apocalyptic vibe of the song. Some kind of life-shattering earthquake seems to be on the way in the god-forsaken town of Port Royal, while Barney finds solace in detached existential musings.

... and all of "republic". listened to it the other day and i really do think it's an underrated masterpiece.
also listened to WFTSC again. it's okay, isn't it? i think my loathing of "get ready" blinds me slightly to what followed.
still got some hellishly dull guitar bits, mind.

I was playing WFTSC the other day as well and was shocked to realize that I don't hate "Turn" as much as I used to (although it still feels cobbled together).

'Turn' rocks. You are all deaf.

So weird to see them open with this on their MIF live set (or at least as it presented on the new live album)
