Original tracklisting vs. final tracklisting

After listening to Fundamental with the original tracklisting (available here), I have to say I think it flows so much better than with the one they finally decided on. I can't really see any real good reason to why they changed it, other than that the end of the album gets a boost with Integral. Any thoughts?

From knowing the songs now in full i think that the first tracklistening is more balanced. The new one is more like: balad, fast song, ballad, fast song. Don`t know why they did. Could be that it has to do something with what the songs are about from their content. Perhaps that a story is telled like with nightlife.

They probably figured that having the ballads interspersed with the fast tracks would be better than having them all at the end, and I tend to agree actually.

i think the old tracklisting was just perfect.. the flow from one song to another would be very nice.... maybe someone who got the earlier promos told them the listing wasnt good.

I tend to prefer the orginal tracklisting as well. I especially like the idea of starting off with God Willing flowing into Minimal and Sodom -a thunderous way to start an album!
