I know it's one of Howard's favorite songs (or riffs), but I agree with Maurice 100% on both The Wonder and Stalingrad.  So that makes  two  bad guys.

Like Martin, I tried to send a reply to this thread that seems not to 
have made it.  Apologies for the repeats, if any:

To which I gave my unpopular opinion that I didn't much like it, and

I think I didn't like it as someone who *loved* _Transaction de 
Novo_.  It was a mighty achievement, indeed--the chiming quality of 
"More than Ever," the narcotic restraint alternating with guitar 
explosions in "Parade"...I could go on.  But the vocals worked so 
well buried in the mix with the Bedhead stuff, and...I just didn't 
dig the more vocal-to-the-front style going on here, particularly 
with the lyrics this time out.  (The "now I'm lying in the fetal 
position/I wish I'd never become a musician" rhyme on one 
track...was, shall we say, the weak link.)

Nonetheless, you've convinced me to give it another spin.  But I'll 
own up to being a bad man, and to being not so fond of _The Wonder_, 
either.  (I'm probably the guy who didn't like the lyrics of 
"Stalingrad," either.  Sorry, folks.)

A bad man indeed,
Maurice
