When other people's opinions and comments on something you like start to get to you, its time to step away from them.

I couldn't care less what other people say or write about music I like, doesn't affect my enjoyment of it which is all that really matters.

W2A is ok not his best work. The problem is when you listen to the unbelievable 1982 - 88 music it makes everything just sound ok

In all honesty I love this release. But my favorite period was from Come onward. I live in Minneapolis so I lived at Park in the 90s, and I literally have no idea why attention is not being paid to the 90s forward, so this was like a breath of Fresh Air. Why Black is the New Black isn’t released is beyond my comprehension. Why Crystal Ball and Gold were left out of the vinyl releases us beyond my comprehension. Why more 3EG stuff isn’t released us, well… You get the picture. Just be happy we even got this album in the first place. Likely the only reason we got it is it’s political content made them think it would be easily marketable.

As for a side being left blank, I could go into why they needed to only have X amount of tracks per side of the record but it seems like it would be lost on you. It seems as though the estate, as much as I have disdain for them, wanted to preserve the integrity of the album. Why would they just throw three tracks in there that weren’t intended to be on there? Again, just be happy we got it, because most of what we’re going to get is 80s stuff, for better or worse.
