The blue album is inherenty flawed to the point of wincing with Bath
Time and Easy Serv thrown in a tracklist that could have possibly
included Initiation, Technologique Park, and What Happens Next. Had
this juxtoposition occured, you'd probably be getting more people
shouting out that the Blue Album is the nicest thing since In Sides
even, perhaps even matching its greatness.
I simply made a custom tracklist, so my Blue album is the one that I
feel should have been pressed, and in my mind, it's Orbital's perfect
adios record.
