Bobby... (edit)

Irregular Regular

Forget my fate.
So I love the new album, I must admit I am surprised by how good it really is.
Well...most of it.
It's certainly a huge improvement on both World Peace and High School.
I find myself skipping just 2 tracks - Bobby and Ruth - which is a lot less than I did/do in the previous 2 albums.

Bobby is an ok song actually, if only we could remove the backing vocals and wouldn't need to endure the last 2 minutes of sub-par Doors organ playing.
Oh well, now at least we don't have to suffer the last 2 minutes (nothing I could do about Thelma, sorry). :lbf:

See what you think, some may like it some may hate it, as for me, this is the version I've kept in my itunes.

I'm interested in hearing what you've done with Bobby. I like that song a lot and even Thelma's totally absurd part has grown on me.

As for Ruth...I don't hate it, but I don't love it. I liken it to Lifeguard Sleeping, Girl Drowning...just a kind of novelty track with a silly narrative on an otherwise fairly perfect record. It's not terrible.
 
never and i mean never did i think i would hear the words " bobby , lord have mercy " in a morrissey song. her vocals are too much , they need toning down.
 
Ok ,I gave it a listen, and only because I'm use to the original lp version, it seemed to just end abruptly, I was about to start dancing to the organ music and bam it was gone, so unfortunately I need the whole tune , just my take.
