Welcome to the Neighbourhood is the story of one person's life from their first date ("Where the rubber meets the road") to their death ("Where angels sing"). By the way, I wonder why they didn't have a title track for the album. That could have opened it.
I agree Bat 3 should be renamed but I doubt it'll ever happen. It would just be too strange. It would be like pretending that "Spider Man 3" didn't exist. What they could do is somehow reboot the thing and maybe rerecord a couple tracks from Bat & Bat 2 and some new ones, or an album like Very Best of with the new tracks, e.g. "What part of my body hurts the most", "We're still the children we once were", "Who needs the young".
If "Braver than we are" on the new album is great, then that will be enough for me, personally, although obviously I wish we could get the others...
I want Meat to come out at the MTV awards or something and sing "Who needs the young?" Woww...
