Re: 6. Idea of You (4:44)
Regarding the intro, so they ripped it off YouTube. Whatever. It does an interesting job of highlighting what sub-par audio quality sounds like against a clean studio track. It's a tiny nod to their live presence. Not gonna make or break the album for me.
Regarding the track itself--ironically, I had expected this to be my favorite track on the album, after all the negativity and worry about the new songs that was hovering around prior to release. And now... now, I still like IOY, and I'm glad we have a studio capture for posterity, but it's actually the least compelling moment on the album because I've known and loved the song for so, so many years. I just appreciate that they didn't screw it up, that the recorded something that sounds close to my memories of listening to a bootleg copy.
