Here's my take on it:

I love it, naturally, but I really don't love Compulsion (and I know people wont agree) I don't think it belongs on there. It's a b-side at best and it sits very uncomfortably alongside all the other tracks. Thank goodness it was never a single, anyone buying the album on the strength of that song would've felt cheated. I tend to think all album tracks should be representative of the album as a whole and I'm afraid that one really jarrs with everything else.

Also, I think Spellbound is way too long and should've been edited down. I would have the original longer Outsiders in preference to that and would've put that straight after Jetstream on the album instead of Kingdom.

Apart from that, all killer and no filler.

As I've stated previously, I think the track kingdom or rust is the bands' best ever track. I heart the greatest denier. I can't understand the stick winter hill gets.

I'm not all over compulsion. But it took me 8 years to "get" the cedar room, 6 years to get satellites and I only really "got" walk in fire this year. It only takes a certain mood or a certain situation for the genius of the boy's writing to show through. I take the view that they're the experts

If I remember rightly from the interviews, the band were kind of split on Compulsion. Jimi's arguement was it was so unlike anything they had done before, it had to be on the album. I agree with that, I love it.

I wonder if the long version of the Outsiders will ever see light of day. As well as the Chemical Brothers remix of 10.03. Couldn't be any worse than that Aeroplane mix of Brazil.
