The Distance To Here, How Friggin good is it? Options

[Hobbsy]

Sittin on the beach.... well pretty close to it. sittin on a balcony at the Gold Coast actually. Thought I'd listen to sparkle on the Ipod and ended up listening to the whole album. Which got me to thinking - this is an awesome recording. This is the band at its best. Well written, well produced. The drumming wants me to take up drumming and Chad Taylor makes me want to take up guitar. Spose I'm going on - a bit influenced by alcohol right now but what if all of this energy had of been put in to SFBM? Like a lot of people I couldn't really get into SFBM. Somehow I wished they would have spent more than two weeks making this album. I know Ed was proud of this fact but in the end ther lack of attention to detail showed in the result. Anyway, back to THTH, still love it, still enjoy it, still waiting for something just as good to come along..........

WFG, FTQRR & Meltdown are great songs of TDTH.

I didn't mean to start a whole compare this album to that one discussion, I was merely 'strolling down memory lane' so to speak on how the initial reactions to that disk were. In retrospect Live changed their music on each cd they made (and imho not always in a way that I'd have preferred). Nonetheless TDTH is one of their best disks in my book (eventhough SS is gonna be the alltime fav, no matter what).

I do remember WFG been used as an opener.... but I can;t remember when that was.... LMAO
