Amazing bump! I love this song and I was thinking that it should deserve another tour of the stage sometime soon! :)

Another song that should have been on FII instead of some of the utter dreck that plagues that album (I'm looking at you, Burning My Soul)

Agreed!   The Way It Used To Be is one of my favorites from that era.  When I listen to FII and I hear songs like BMS and YNM, it makes me sometimes wonder what they were thinking when the B-sides clearly trumped most of the 'A sides.'

The Letter M

This song is tied with "Speak To Me" for being both behind "Raise The Knife" as top B-Side from the FII sessions. All three should have EASILY been on FII instead of songs like BMS, JLMB and YNM. And if had to have gotten the final version of TAMP (because the original Demo was so much better), you could get rid of that, too, to make room for the 3 B-Sides.

I think it's a great JLB spotlight. Nothing crazy, just really solid and really Canadian.

I've been listening to Cleaning Out the Closet a lot recently, and this track has moved up to my second favourite behind Raise the Knife. Great tune.
THIS. The song is awesome.

Sketchy

The bass in the second verse and the end solo just make it massively brilliant.

Not a particularly special song to me, but I'd take it over New Millennium any day.
