rftag Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 So, the inspiration for this question comes from a recent thread here where myself and at least one other forum member noted how Vital Signs, from MP, sounds like it could have been on Signals, even though the 2 albums by and large sound nothing alike. I was wondering if there are any other cases like this forum members can think of. Thoughts? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New World Kid Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I can think of songs that could go backwards.Like they sound like they belong on the previous album. But I'm not sure about forwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every song from GUP, PoW and HYF could be on any one of those 3 albums IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnoble Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Best I Can was clearly a leftover from the debut album, however young Neil's overplaying all over the place on that song make it rock so much more than John Rutsey would've done 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tks95747 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 This is difficult for me due to the fact that their albums are so distinct in their presentation from the others. The earlier albums much more so than the later albums, however, when I hear songs from one album to the next (regardless of the time frame) they just sound so natural on the particular album they were presented on. If I had to choose, I would say "Beneath, Between & Behind" could slot into CoS without sticking out too much... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil1972 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I Think I'm Going Bald definitely sounds more like debut material; as mentioned Vital Signs sounds like Signals. I think a lot of AFTK and Hemispheres sound interchangeable. And SnA sounds like a bonus disc of outtakes from My Favorite Headache. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasbo Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I actually thought circumstances was on permanent waves for the longest timeFor awhile there i used to get Circumstances and Entre Nous mixed up with their respective albums.Both are short and similarly structured and both open up side two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rftag Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) 'Could' or 'Couldn't' I actually intended to write "could've" but it was autocorrected to "couldn't". I'm not aware of any way to edit a question otherwise I would have corrected the typo. Fortunately forum members appear to have understood my intended question, based on the answers (probably because my comments accompanying the question make it pretty clear what I was asking). Anyway, thanks for pointing it out. I hadn't realized the error (even after the first time I read your response) in part because the question is truncated on my phone so I didn't see the error until I looked at my profile in full version mode today. Oops! [i pretty much only visit the forum on my phone using the mobile skin.] Anyway, thanks again for pointing that out. I apologise for any confusion.
