I disagree. "Red Rubber" is shite, certainly, but the others vary from listenable ("I'm Leaving You For Solitude") to bloody great ("Distractions" and "Lost Voices").

Red Rubber is incredible, it's got so much going on and the intro is one of the most interesting things they've done this album.

Red Rubber's brilliant. My second favourite of the current bonus track bunch (Solitude being the first one)

Red Rubber feels like more of an experiment than a cohesive song, though I do like the sound they're trying on it.

Evidence Against Myself is great though, there's a fun early Beatles vibe and a great solo.

Yeah I'd agree with the opinion on Red Rubber, I actually like B Sides from the album but I actually like the album too so maybe I'm an odd one out. Leaving you for Solitude is dull mind.

Does anyone else think 'I Know The Numbers' might just be the best thing they've released from the whole PFAYM era?

There's just so much raw feeling there, with James' voice allowed to stand on it's own, no multitracking (and no fucking gospel choir). It seems to have more in common with 'Too Cold Here' or 'Facing Page: Top Left' than it does to its parent single or album. It's really quite striking, like walking from a stuffy room into crisp winter air.
