I’m surprised this has gone without comment, but Concrete Fields is pretty bad.

The song also samples 'Seasons in the Sun' by Terry Jacks/Poppy Family.

Not really on topic... ? Wrong thread mate. Though you'd be forgiven for wondering what this thread is for anymore lol.

Concrete Fields is ok. It's got charm as a straight forward Nicky track and the middle eight is fun.

I don't see the problem with sampling seasons in the sun either, it works well. ETA: the backing vocals (wayne, apparently) on that seasons in the sun bit? Lovely! Not forgetting the charming piano solo.

The very end of the guitar solo in Mirror Gaze reminds me of Gillette razor ads for some reason... 'the best a man(ic) can get'.

Genuinely starting to think that Mirror Gaze is one of their best tracks in ages. Surely the new Prologue to History but even more inexplicable because it would have fitted the album perfectly. What were they thinking in relegating this to the Japan bonus tracks ?

This one another puzzler I must say, Mirror Gaze is one of the very best songs from the new tracks, how this was decided upon to not take its place on the album proper but be a Japanese bonus is beyond me. Loved it on first airing! I think Holding Patterns is damn good also.
Mirror Gaze and Soundtrack to Complete Withdrawal are excellent, two of their best, both relegated to bonus status. However, like Prologue to History and countless others, they are as visible as any album track to us fans. |

Manics are the worst judges of their own songs.
