[kj] Extremities

[sade1]

I've always thought that "Extremities.."(the song) went a little too "Pink Floyd-ish" at parts. 
I think Jaz is the Pink Floyd fan of the group.

[looking at the current state of things..]
 
'Who has the fun.. 
  ..is it always a man with a gun...? 
    Someone must have told him if you work too hard... you can sweat"

Yeah I know its a lazy phrase... I'm listening to Extremities now and I chiefly meant 
the fast section slapped into the middle of Beautiful Dead for absolutely no reason that ruins what would
have been a fantastic song, the horrible mess that is Struggle and sections of the title track.

But Geordie's guitar sounds fucking incredible - was this the last time that sound we all
know and love was in evidence on a KJ record?

Sorry Jel, no more analysis, promise
