Bought single today, here are my thoughts:

Broken Up Again: OK, but doesn't really do much for me.

Red Rubber: Amazing! Ended too soon though, it just felt like they started losing interest.

Evidence Against Myself: Again it was OK, prefer it to Broken Up Again though.

Whereas at first listen I was underwhelmed by this bunch of B-sides (compared to the INW B-sides, namely Ostopolitik and Distractions which I loved from first listen), after about a dozen listens on repeat tonight they've all proved to be growers (Evidence Against Myself being my favourite at the moment) so YAY, thumbs up from me!

I'll give them the car test as soon as I can! Driving is the best way to test a song!

It's listening on headphones that has made the tracks click for me tonight, having only heard them earlier via the Ipod dock on the crappy kitchen radio!

I love the b-sides and that's just after one listen. Think I'm turning into The Gutless Wonder

I have picked up the rancid stench of repetitive verses in Broken Up Again.

As you can probably imagine, I'm seething. Why? WHY? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? They're verses, not choruses! Fucking stop it!

One Gutless Wonder is quite enough. I don't think they could handle two!

My eyes wouldn't be able to handle all of the exclamation marks and smiley faces.
