Not the best vocally, but very good instrumentally.

Billy really makes this one -- some very cool snare and hi-hat work starting just before 2:00!

Very technically sound — almost like he’s doing a rudiment exercise for much of it, which is fine by me!

Pretty good climax on this one, which is the key to the song IMO. All-around solid version, surprised it's not on here yet.

Nice groove to this one. Sometimes it can almost be too chaotic...

One of the best, I think. Has a trippy quality with Keith on the Rhodes and Phil in a boisterous mood. Great for just melting into your chair...
