Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

Great one. Kits duet is really inspired. Space curdles out with noise but gets jester's hat nightmare with vocal pranks. Beautiful long bluesy intro

Just hit this fabulous and deeply fascinating song again. The clip is drenched in raw intensity and I keep being mentally chased by Hunter knock-out punches like "all we ever wanted was to learn to love and grow" Doesnt get much realer than that to me. And this and so many roads started to outline a powerful new direction for the group that would have been solidified on their studio follow-up to Built to Last. It's all so tragic.
