Well I've only listened to the bonus disc a couple of times but I have to say these songs for me will be growers, not showers.
I liked Drag The River on first listen though. Scandinavia sounds like it belongs on Ringleader. It's completely out of place, even on the bonus disc, let alone the actual album. I prefer the Studio In Sessions version actually.
I hope I end up liking Art-Hounds more than I do upon first listen. It sounds a bit clumsy to me. The first line is kind of um, a bit atrocious. The backing music sounds like Disintegration era Cure. I thought I was going to get a little break from the world music but no, here come the mariachi festival band.
Forgive Someone is one of the weirdest Morrissey songs I've heard in a while. If that's about Marr I'm a monkey's uncle. People want to hear what they want to hear.
Even with only a few listens I can hear why none of these songs are on the actual album. They would not fit at all and it makes me realise just how good an album the 12 songs are. They all just work perfectly together.
