Phil,
 
I have an awesome early version of "Are You receiving?" that says 
otherwise! :)
Seriously, though, I like the "Universe B" approach (like I actually 
said, even) -- the "epic" approach, and it'd be great if they went more 
in that vein, to me, but I also don't mind production values that do not 
sound like they either cost either a million bucks, or were done by, er, 
"professionals" (*cough*) are too slick, etc. I like how "End Game" 
sounded as it was/is - ripped off streaming radio. But as everyone else 
said, it'll probably only sound better once we hear the actual, non-web 
streamed version, whose quality was surely compromised. I love the 
rough/raw Radcliffe versions of songs like "Exorcism" and "Whiteout" 
(KIlling Joke, "Whiteout"(rough)" 
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SKuN8VVWgU>)- but hey, that's just me.
