Still no match for 16 Shells from a 30.6, In the Neighborhood, Frank's Wild Years & Just Another Sucker on the Vine. I'm not saying his album openers are necessarily bad but Tom transitions into his album material severely and doesn't leave much room for the listener to get acclimated to the album. I've always enjoyed the other material on them (especially Swordfishtrombones).

I did forget about Bone Machine though, The Earth Died Screaming is absolutely glorious.
