Plus, with LWS, does the band break up? Maybe that'd be your price for not having ED! So I see it as a good thing. I've seen them 10-12 times, I'd never have been able to do that if they split after LWS.

I don't have emotional baggage attached to ED. In fact, I Did It was the first DMB song I actually liked way back in 2001 when I was a metal head who hated DMB
When I got into the band around 2003, I really liked ED as much as their other albums. Now that I know the music better after so many years of listening, I don't hate ED (never have), but I also don't rank it anywhere near BW or AFTW.
It's better than SU, but only because Batson's production sucked. The songs on SU (particularly Hello Again, American Baby, ODH, Everybody Wake Up, even Dreamgirl) are
much closer to classic DMB than anything on ED.
