Admittedly, I kind of avoided listening to the B-sides up till today. "After The Event" and "Up And Down"...not bad! Can't wait to add them to my unnofficial Alternative 2 iPod playlist.
Alas, "The Former Enfant Terrible" sounds like the aborted lovechild of "What Keeps Mankind Alive" and "The Sound Of The Atom Splitting," after it was ground up with ProTools and served on a hot plate to a one-legged stripper with wooden teeth.
