I decided to revisit Coupled With cos I was beginning to think maybe I'd dismissed those songs too swiftly and I actually like Action Panzer now, it's pretty rocking if a bit muddy sounding, dunno why I didn't like this before.

6.30 Onwards, still something I don't like about this track, the melody of the verses "while I was think-ing, I thought I was sink-ing...etc".

If I Decide- Agree with Soundog about this, great verses but this song deserves a better chorus. Listening to it again I realise that the bit just before the chorus makes me start to sing Mother City, it sounds quite similar.

Return to Zero - Sounds like a great song buried in the mud again. In fact this is an awesome song it's a shame the production lets it down a bit.

tbh Coupled With is my favourite Wildhearts album along with the hologram fish Fishing For Luckies.

I love that distorted punk 'n' roll vibe that sounds like Endless Nameless mixed with PHUQ.

Better Than Cable is still a classic to my ears. I sill get chills when the distorted 'channel changing' effect comes in just when the track is faded in to static it blasts back in to life. Also the "I need you and you need me so who needs drugs" line always brings a smile to my face.

I remember one of my best Wildhearts gig experiances being at Manchester academy in 03 I think when Ginger said "Ok, we're going to dig out an old b-side now" before launching in to Action Panzer even though the So Into You single had only just been released.

I could give or take the more 'pop' tracks like Bang or Hit in On The Head but I think if an album with the tracklisting along the lines of

"Looking for the One"
"Stormy in the North, Karma in the South"
"LTD"
"6:30 Onwards"
"Eager to Leave 'Er"
"Better Than Cable"
"Lake of Piss"
"Putting It On"
"You Got to Get Through What You've Got to Go Through to Get What You Want, But You Got to Know What You Want to Get Through What You Got to Go Through"
"Return to Zero"
"Action Panzer"
"OCD"

would have been released as a follow up album to Must Be Destroyed it would have been an incredible album. Due to the context in which they were released I think they will always be 'second teir' tracks to most people.
Interviewer - "So whats the secret of your longevity?"
Ginger - "Splitting up!"

"Bernard, its hot in the worm."

"School aint shit, I read it in a book"
