I think Introspective could have been one of the most epic albums in music history with this tracklist

Curious that you'd replace the epic album version of Always On My Mind with the, in my opinion, slightly underwhelming 12" mix. It took me ages to work out what bothered me about that version, and I eventually realised it was the fact that it skips the climax of the 7" version - the final repeat of the verse with the brass riff underneath it. It's like if It's A Sin cut straight from the middle eight to the instrumental outro. I don't mind it but I certainly wouldn't say it was one of their best 12" versions - always seemed a bit thrown together to me.

Honestly putting the Phil Harding Remix on the album would've slapped, it was basically the prototype for the album version anyway.

I had to admit I really like the last part with the voice of Joss Ackland. I think it gives a more powerful feeling at the end, I admit in the middle it skips the climax but I think it is even worse in the version of Introspective.

It works better for an extended version more than a remix version that I think the Introspective version really is.

Nah mate. Each to their own but the Intro version is phenomenal with that insane buildup and then the huge release where you get both riffs playing at once. It's a masterpiece.

Topic creator: don't state your opinion as fact. And more importantly: don't think you know the fanbase. A sentence starting with "all the fans know..." and ending with "... in my opinion" clearly shows what is wrong with this topic.

100% this. Especially the "all the fans know....." What a load of crap. I am so glad to say that 'nickname' doesn't speak for me. Introspective is great as it is.

Hard pass on this!

Such a superb bass drum that the KLF used it.

It's always surprised me that they've never used the other riff when playing the song live, it's always the brass riff. Maybe because Chris wrote the brass riff and Phil Harding or Ian Curnow likely wrote the other one?

I think we can all agree that we're glad nickname isn't in charge of PSB album tracklisting!

Kylie said to Jason. Here's a swedish #1 hit from 1992, the artist admittedly took from Left to my own devices.

Some people just enjoy getting shouted at.

"In My House" is essential.

Even when I was a kid it was clear that the bonkers dark intermission was the "introspective" underbelly to an otherwise traditional love song.
