The Wildhearts longer tracks

[wez_wildheart]

after constantly having 'Rooting For The Bad Guy' on repeat i decided to revisit the longer songs of the bands output. I just felt that The Wildhearts are at their most potent on the longer songs. Granted we all like the singalong shorter tracks but when you listen to the likes of 'Sky Babies' etc etc, the depth in the songwriting is breathtaking.

the time changes, the curveballs, the riffs, the hooks, the choruses. To me it just shows the depth of songwriting that Ginger has never got due credit for apart from us fans. I just find it so bizarre in an age of mediocrity that this level of songwriting goes by and large un-noticed.baffling

what do you guys think?

The long numbers have always been the ones that hit me the hardest. It started with The Miles Away girl on Earth Vs., but then I got Fishing For Luckies... and Inglorious, Channel Bop, Schitzophonic and Sky Babies put them at the top of my list forever.

For me, the crazy changes have been the key defining factor of this band since the beginning.

Totally... Channel Bop has that genius middle section where the riff goes from one rhythm to another and completely changes before going back into the intro rhythm again.

That kicks ass. But all the long tunes rule.
