Is he fucking deaf?
Yeah well, he doesn't always make the best quality choices.
I mean he left "Get You Mad" and "Till Hell Freezes Over" off SSLP. Probably a few masterpieces off MMLP and TES. "We As Americans", "Love You More" and "Ricky Ticky Toc" off Encore. And who knows what the fuck else.
Seems like he tries to balance it all too much since TES. Like he's tryna please everybody at once like he has to be a walking democarcy. Which, given his nature as an artist, is a walking contridiction and a strange one which will always work against him if he tries to adhere to it.
Where as with MMLP, he was a true artist. He did it for himself, he totally committed to a mindset and absolutely excelled it. Which he ALMOST did with Relapse too. But just ruined it with "Beautiful" and "Crack a Bottle". Such a shame as it had that same single-minded bigotry (which is good, in this context, as an artist) and single-minded vision.
He just can't trust himself enough to do that now. I don't doubt he probably has about 5 other stone-cold classics locked away in various forms with all that material, and he probably botched Recovery from being one with the selection and ordering also.
