More convincing that anything on the album, should be a single. Get rid of Divine Youth.

I echo everybody's posts in this thread - it's great and fits well with the the sound the album was promoted as having. I'd have it on there instead of SPLAM and Mayakovsky in quality terms, or Divine Youth and Stow Hill for a better fit.

I think Divine Youth's a good song, but Empty Motorcade would've been more at home on the album than it in my opinion.

I think Divine Youth really fits well on the album, the lyrics are gorgeous (I don't like the vocals though).

It would have been nice to have had both Empty Motorcade and Blistered Mirrors on the album in addition to the other tracks.

Empty Motorcade has a positivity that really suits the album.

Empty Motorcade should be on the album (I count it as it is) along with Last Time I saw Paris.
But they should replace the instrumentals!

Empty Motorcade, Last Time I Saw Paris and Sound Of Detachment all should have been on the album.

Caldey would have fitted nicely on RTF.

I'd leave Kodawari and Antisocialmanifesto as b-sides, though.

Not sure about Blistered Mirrors. I love it so I'd probably chuck it on the album just in case.
