been looking to check out some zakk wylde, considering his links/flirtation with Guns. i already have some of his Ozzy work but am looking to get into his solo stuff just to investigate what the craic is.
but i dunno what BLS record is meant to be their best or most accessible...
and what about the Pride & Glory, should i try tracking it down?

yea i'm pretty stoned right now actually. i'm just finishing listening to the Total Loss tracklist (Prostitute just started..) n i have to say it's bloody terrific. flows so well. was one of those listens where you're hearing loadsa stuff you didn't notice before.
i'd elaborate but i'm going to get supper after this tune. 2moro i'll detail my experience. i'll prob be stoned then too. Prostitute is great.

Thanks for posting this, and I totally missed it 2 days ago when you first posted it.
That's an interesting track sequence. Not entirely different obviously, but its front loaded with the album's rockers, and This I Love is in an awkward position between Better and TWAT. Shackler's is already a flow killer, and placing Street of Dreams after it emphasizes that even more.
hey, first time poster (long time lurker). i agree it is an interesting running order and that it is front loaded with the rockers.
but so is appetite & the official CD (though Better/Stardust aren't exactly Riadh/Scraped they're still compact pop/rock songs as opposed to the expansive Sorry/Maddy/etc).
i think it helps the pacing of the album to get as many of the rockers thrown at us at the start (the first 4/5 of Appetite is the amongst the most attention smashing runs in any album).
i'm looking forward to burning a copy of this tracklist later.
i think the 1-2 of TIL/TWAT is an hilarious proposition. in fact, i think the way the songs are grouped read like they could tell the story of CD more coherantly - especially The Lies They Tell backed by Sorry (throu to the end of the album). excited to listen to it.
i was initially disappointed when i saw Catcher on the tracklist when it was first announced and would subscribe slightly to Neemo's theory about it being an album of leaks. saying that, i like the song much more now than it's leak.
interesting also that Prostitute was always to close.
