Fotzepolitic

I am sharing the love of this song with you. I think it's one of their best and agree on the drumming.

What I am finding slightly distracting (and I can't decide yet whether it is spoiling it for me a bit) is that on the chorus, chunks of Bernard's vocal have been spliced together. It is most noticeable on the first word, 'sometimes' as there is the slightest of pauses then the vocal goes into a different register.

Anyway, a minor quibble and perhaps the only way they could get the vocal sounding right.

Can't imagine it will be one that they will attempt live.

Very common practice for most singers and instrumentalists when recording stuff, especially these days when it's all done digitally, far easier than physically spicing bits of tape together. A few different takes of the vocal or whatever are recorded and on some of the takes, lines [or even single words] are preferred to other ones, or there's a mistake on one take or something. The bits are all then 'comped' together to make the whole chorus/verse/whatever. Hope this one is being rehearsed for the upcoming gigs, it would make for a brilliant set closer, on the Q&A on the web earlier not one member of the band picked it out as being a favourite track off the album though, so perhaps not.
