“Well, actually, this is sort of a departure from the rest of the record, and it’s kind of a mellow tune.”
I love these moments: when an artist is close enough to the recording sessions to perfectly recreate the recorded song, but also new enough to the song to keep the initial magic intact. And in this case, the “departure” would chart the rest of the band’s career.
“Ain’t That Unusual” is the best song on this album, but “Name” is thoroughly 1995s rock radio.
