The songs on BS are of course much better, but that album always fell flat with me. Too sparse of production and it never quite captured the raw emotion of LWS. The songs themselves are far and above anything on WATM, but WATM is a better album in listenability IMO. I'd put it under Big Whiskey but ahead of BS.
Every time I put BS on, I'd rather just go listen to a live show with those songs on it. I also hate that WAYG ended up on the album in place of SUAD, JTR or Monkey Man.. Just a terrible addition that interrupts the flow of that album. That song more than anything DMB has done will always be elevator muzak to me. It's fine as a solo song, but it was the first song post Everyday where I was like Dave has lost it. But then we also got YNK.. Which is one of his best.
