Try and get ahold of the promo from 2002. It has a different tracklist with the cut songs included (i.e. "Decadent Wish" and "Unsaid".) That was actually a much better listening experience for me. I tend to play this version over the original (it also doesn't have "Couldn't Have Said It Better", believe it or not, which always sounded like "Variations on Anything For Love" to me. Just listen to the verses: "And you say nothing at all / Well, I couldn't have said it better myself" and "I would do anything for love / I'd run right into hell and back") > I WISH I could enjoy CHSIB as much as Neighbourhood. > Neighbourhood is a frigging great album that I never tire > of. > > And all the signs for CHSIB looked great... and for some > reason it just didn;t deliver for me.
