I prefer Sentimental over Normal. In fact Sentimental is probably my favorite song in the whole album.
THIS so much.
indeed, though i find my main problem with "Normal" is the shoddy/demo-like recording quality of the acoustic instruments (i.e. not electric guitar and keys). it and "What Happens Now?" suffer from severe under-production compared to the rest, which a) makes it obvious they were the ones written after the fact, and b) makes it difficult to enjoy them in the same context.
however, they sound infinitely better on Anesthetize, which is totally awesome front to back. i'm glad those songs were on the setlist.
Anybody else ever noticed how similar Veneno Para las Hadas (solo SW) and I Find That I'm Not There (PT) are?
yeah, that was a common comment when Insurgentes came out. personally, i like the recycling, as both are some of my favourite SW songs.
